Yes there is such a thing as “Likeonomics”!

Author Rohit Bhargava author of Likeonomics: The Unexpected Truth Behind Earning Trust, Influencing Behavior, and Inspiring Action wrote the definitive book on how being likeable drives business and personal success.

But what the heck does that mean?

Let’s start with this, would you rather work with a competent jerk or a loveable fool?

At some point the competent jerk will end up being too much to deal with and will negatively impact productivity and morale. And in the end, you will continue to overlook the loveable fool’s weak points and utilizes them as best you can.

The key thought is to be both competent and likeable.

How does someone do this?

Well there are some very simple and easy tactics to do this.

Ask yourself

• What makes someone likeable in your eyes?
• What do they do?
• What habits do they have?
• How do they interact with you?

The answers to these questions will quickly give you a picture of how you can become more likeable.

In this 30 minute power web seminar David will go over very specific tactics, tips and tricks to increase your likeability.

David will also discuss the fine line between being likeable and being a “doormat.”

Presenter: David Mantica (LinkedIn profile) has product managed the initiation, development and delivery of more than 300 instructor-led and live, online training courses, in software development life cycle, IT, telecommunications, finance, healthcare IT, and marketing industries.

In today’s world of IoT, automation and integration are the mantras everyone is chanting.

In any given scenario, it is very likely that the users are using multiple products to achieve their productivity needs.

In that context, the only way to achieve efficiency is to be able to integrate and automate between all these tools. However, the integration cannot be so complex that it needs special expertise. It needs to be quick and easy.

The same applies to the world of Project Management.

There are many tools on a day to day basis that a project manager needs to work with as part of their job. What if we could connect all of them and provide a single interface for the Project Manager to work with?

Enter Microsoft Flow and Power Apps…

Flow connects to  Microsoft products like Office 365 and OneDrive; third-party platforms such as Twitter, Dropbox, MailChimp, Google Drive, Slack and Trello; and developer-focused options like Github and SQL.

Meanwhile, Power Apps helps regular users develop apps quickly that can be used to perform tasks of choice.

This session will explore how to use both of these tools together to enable efficiency in Project Management Processes.

Before we can answer “what” a multi-model database is – we need to look at the “why.”

Traditional databases provide a fixed, static representation of data. However, as soon as you need to accommodate changes to data or downstream requirements, the fixed relational schema becomes an impediment.

That gave rise to the NoSQL database — which offered a different database for each data model.

While you could use polyglot persistence to bundle different data models together to handle all data types, that introduces more complexity. Plus — document databases, graph databases and key-value stores all have their own niche.

So how do you choose between them?

A new solution is evolving — the multi-model database. What constitutes multi-model, and when is it useful?

In this webcast Damon will examine the two paths of multi-model database engineering: a single platform that allows many models on one core, versus complex integrations where many systems are pre-packaged.

Learn:

• When a multi-model database is appropriate
• How each approach impacts DevOps, monitoring, performance tuning, and security
• How to handle data integration with a multi-model database
• Which skills you need, in order to manage a multi-model environment
