Predicting Personality: Using AI to Understand People and Win More Business (Hardcover)

By Drew D’Agostino, Greg Skloot

Parnassus Books welcomes Drew D’Agostino and Greg Skloot authors of Predicting Personality: Using AI to Understand People and Win More Business.

Predicting Personality: Using AI to Understand People and Win More Business details the ways in which personality assessments and predictions can be used to improve professional and interpersonal communications.
As the world has become hyper-connected, people have become hyper-skeptical, and communication has actually gotten much harder. As connected as we are, attention spans are shrinking, trust is dwindling, and growth is less guaranteed. An exciting new branch of artificial intelligence–Personality AI–is setting out to change that: marrying traditional machine learning, data analytics, and behavioral psychology, Personality AI helps professional communicators break through the noise with empathy and build trust with their audience, leveraging data to accelerate trust, build relationships, and win more customers.
The proposed title is the playbook for anyone whose livelihood or business is built on their ability to communicate effectively and build teams. Exploring the next generation of human communication, Crystal co-founder and CEO Drew D’Agostino exposes how businesses can reap the benefits of AI and machine learning today, not tomorrow. Readers will not only learn what Personality AI is and how it works, but direct applications in business, life, and how to understand personality types in context–sales, recruiting, coaching, and more. D’Agostino also presents important considerations that using Personality AI brings up in ethics and compliance conversations, plus guidelines for any company that wants to use their people data to learn and execute. This book provides practical guidelines for using this technology to accelerate growth, strengthen relationships, communicate more effectively, and win more business.

An inspirational and musical storyline
Axel, a young graphic artist and musician, dives into his hand drawn universe as he falls in love with the captivating Lei. Together they jet off on a fast-moving quest to retrieve the stolen light from the supervillain Vï. In this epic fantasy, graphic art and music intertwine to create the super charged world of AXEL. Spectacular ice skating, breath-taking acrobatics, pop-rock music and vibrant visuals create an energetic and immersive experience for the whole family.
In Cirque du Soleil AXEL, the music serves a narrative thread guiding our characters and our audiences as they journey with Axel and Lei to discover that true love shines even brighter that the most radiant star.
This newest Cirque du Soleil creation brings a new look to the world of ice skating by introducing us to the discipline of freestyle skating. This fresh take on skating combined with the skill and power of traditional pairs, solo, and adagio work allows Cirque du Soleil to set the stage for high calibre ice skating of all kinds. Striking visual projections draw us into the fantastic worlds Axel creates with just a pen, a sketchbook and a whole lot of imagination.

2020 Franktown Open Hearts Annual Dinner
2020-09-28 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual
FRANKTOWN OPEN HEARTS TO HOST “WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER” VIRTUAL FUNDRAISING DINNER ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 FROM 7:00- 8 PM CST
ONLINE SILENT AUCTION GOES LIVE ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2020
Franktown Open Hearts “We’re In This Together” Annual Fundraising Dinner goes virtual. Franktown serves approximately 170 school-age children, living in government-subsidized or low-income housing. They provide a nutritious meal, educational programming, and character-building activities to school-age children weekday afternoons/evenings during the school year; weekdays during the summer months; along with vocational training and experiences on Saturdays throughout the year. Since COVID-19 set in, Franktown has seen a tremendous increase in need – especially with food! We typically serve over 10,000 meals to our children each year.
When schools closed in March, Franktown stepped in to fill that gap, and served over 5,000 meals in that nine-week period alone! And during this time that demand was at an all-time high, Franktown experienced a decrease in budgeted income – including loss of individual, corporate, and church support.
Tuesday, September 29, 2020 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm CST . Silent Auction goes LIVE! on Tuesday, September 8, 2020.
ABOUT FRANKTOWN OPEN HEARTS
Founded in 2005, Franktown Open Hearts was originally established to serve children in the inner-city communities of Franklin, TN. Because Franklin and Williamson County are recognized as one of the most affluent areas in the state of Tennessee, most people don’t even realize public housing developments exist in this area. This results in the residents, and particularly the youth, being underserved with regards to social and academic resources.
Franktown Open Hearts provides a nutritious meal, educational programming, and character-building activities to school-age children weekday afternoons/evenings during the school year; weekdays during the summer months; along with vocational training and experiences on Saturdays throughout the year.

DO YOU WANT TO ATTEND THE WEEKEND FOR FREE?
HAVE YOU EVER RUN A HALF MARATHON or 5K?
ARE YOU A RUNNER? (No… You can walk the races too)…

For the last 5+ years Amy has hosted a few weeks of BAREFOOT REPUBLIC CAMP at her farm. It’s a summer camp program that focuses on cultivating Christ-centered relationships between individuals and families from diverse racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Every year Amy hosts BAREFOOT AT THE FARM and we want more and more students to be able to attend, who otherwise couldn’t. SOOOOOO… let’s do this together!
Last year one of Amy’s Team members, Derek, took part in a training program and ran a Half Marathon (prior to that he’d only run/walked some very slow 5ks) and with the help of several Friends-Of-Amy (FOA) members was able to raise over $10,000 toward the Barefoot Republic Scholarship fund – making it possible for over 40 kids to attend BAREFOOT AT THE FARM – who might otherwise not been able.
This year we want to do even more… So… we’ve decided to make a very special offer. Anyone who wants to participate in the Rock-N-Roll Music City Marathon with our team and can raise a minimum of $1,500 will get a FREE weekend pass.
And the best part is you can do the race anywhere, so even if you can’t make it to Nashville to participate with the team, you can do it in your own hometown.
If you are interested please email derek@themwsgroup.com – he will provide you with more details and will explain how this will work.
Fundraising / Training will begin November 1st and we will run on Saturday, April 25th.
Amy will not be able to do the run with us this year, but she is looking forward to cheering on all participants.
The minimum distance for participation on the team will be a 5K (3.1 miles)… Derek will run the half marathon here in Nashville (13.1 miles)… of course marathoners can do the full 26.2 mile course… but we may look at you like you’re a little crazy!
Again… email derek@themwsgroup.com to be added to the team.
ALL Persons who successfully complete their fundraising and a race, whether here in Nashville or “virtually” in their hometown will receive an autographed TEAM AMY / RUN BAREFOOT MEDAL (in addition to their TENNESSEE WEEKEND PASS FOR FREE.
