From My Inbox: Tango

DYK that the tango is on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity? Until recently, I did not know this. That the tango was on this list, and that such a list existed.

More Misc Stuff:

• Random acts of kindness, such as opening the door for someone, well, we should all engage in more of these simple, kind acts. Why we all need to be a lot less hesitant about being kind. (The Guardian)
• Not feeling well? Be careful when you jump to consult Dr. Google - those “remedies” or “diagnoses” with tons of likes or shares, aren’t necessarily a fact, because it seems we “humans are predisposed to mistake repetition for accuracy”. Social Media and Medical Misinformation. (Dr Jen Gunter)
• To care about reading your audience or not to care…that’s a good question because there are times when standing on stage I (maybe you too!) begin to imagine that the audience truly thinks I’m useless, which then swirls into the horror of being naked and exposed as a fraud…antidote to short-circuit this brain chatter nonsense: How “reading your audience” goes very wrong. (Vital Voice Training)
• Why do we take good things for granted once we have them - such as our health? Tea towels, heathcare (or not caring) and the wisdom of not getting sick from Margaret Atwood.
• From the why you should invest in women department: Fund of Women-Run Firms Is Beating the S&P 500 Since Launching. (Bloomberg)
• AND Big F’g Shocker…I was going to say, WTW but Big F’g Shocker seemed a more realistic depiction of my disappointment and non-amazement reaction to the women + work ambition + “Tall Poppy” research findings. Yup, new research finds almost 90 per cent of women worldwide are penalized and undermined because of their achievements at work. (Women of Influence)
