Narrative, content strategy, marketing, competitive positioning, etc., impact all of our lives, but if we've learned nothing else over the last 3 years, it's that they cannot be divorced from operations and business models.

Grown-ups work on matching those two things and reducing existing gaps between them, and none of us, but particularly those with access to capital and social capital, should pretend otherwise.

Reading this week's ImpactAlpha newsletter, I was reminded of how Dr. Gillian Marcelle, PhD often says "narrative change is for grown-ups"

Examples of this are everywhere 👇🏻🧵

(Dr. Marcelle is not on the fediverse, yet=) ...but active here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gillianmarcelle/)

We don't need a new narrative or startup/tech lingo, we need to focus on what's already in front of us...because if we ever do get sentient AI, one thing we can't do is have it take cues from a set of homogeneous, control obsessed, and biased executives and investors.

A good example mentioned here of framing bias in a McKinsey report – among the places where this shows up regularly:

- News coverage of venture capital
- Finance & banking announcements
- Local news stories
- Workforce training & development

The latter two are places that most of us can impact by reaching out to and correcting/guiding business leaders & reporters when we see them use deficit language.

Are executives & companies "preparing for a recession/economic downturn," or are they "trying to regain control over workers that they lost when the pandemic started?"
