Gen Z ‘doom spending’ in the ‘Joy Economy’ is showing a surprising new splurge trend
In this episode of Negotiation Illuminators, Amy Combrinck speaks with Ramona Daniel, a Cultural Insights and Strategy Consultant. Founder of Twenty3.
They explore the evolution of Negotiation practices, the importance of understanding cultural contexts and the significance of communication styles in Negotiations.
Ramona shares her journey of transitioning careers and emphasises the need for relationship building in Negotiations.
Ultimately, they conclude that Negotiation is a dynamic process akin to a dance, requiring adaptability and awareness of cultural differences.
This training session was created for the Insight Consultant Group (ICG) as a Knowledge Share session for their independent consultants.
If you are relatively new to AI, this 45-minute session will help you get more out of the AI tools you’re already using, without needing to become a tech expert. You’ll learn:
What different types of AI tools (like ChatGPT or Claude) can and can’t do, and how to pick the right one for the job
Simple, repeatable ways to write prompts that give you better, more relevant answers
How to fine-tune AI responses when they’re not quite right
Easy ways to keep track of the prompts you’ve written, so you can reuse and improve them over time
This is a hands-on, interactive session for independent researchers who want to work faster, think more creatively, and make AI a more useful everyday tool.
I had a really enjoyable chat with Ray Poynteron his 'Talking AI' podcast about using LLMs for cultural insights.
His questions made me realise how we are all moving through the GenAI adoption curve at different speeds.
Working as an independent researcher forced me to find new ways to challenge my assumption, so I accelerated my own learning to use LLMs as a thinking partner.
And I very quickly realised that using Ai isn't about replacing human insight, but amplifying your ability to ask better questions when you don't have a team around you.
