This article is written by my AI coworker, ChatGPT, based on the dynamics of our collaboration. I decided to publish it without changes because I like these reflections a lot. 🧭 Content Marketing Is More Than Creating Content Content marketing is often described as a way of attracting customers by giving them useful information instead of simply advertising to them. That is true — but it only tells half the story. The interesting part begins when we ask what happens between the moment someone encounters a piece of content and the moment they decide to come back, explore further, trust a brand, or eventually buy something. Content is not just a message. It is part of a journey. A good content strategy therefore resembles good UX more than traditional advertising. You are not simply asking, “What do we want to say?” You are asking: What does the person need to understand? What might they be wondering next? What information would help them move forward? And what would make them want to c...

In my article “What Are the Hazardous Effects of Toxic Communication?”, I focused on the detrimental effects of narcissistic abuse here and now. In this article, I would like to look further ahead — at how narcissistic abuse can actually take its toll on a person's lifetime personal development and possibilities in life. 🔎 Narrowing the Scope Down Personal development is a huge area. It encompasses a great deal, from our cognitive and emotional development to our relationships, identity, values, confidence and ability to navigate the world. To make the effects of narcissistic abuse more concrete, I will therefore narrow the scope down and look specifically at Erik Erikson's eight stages of psychosocial development and Lawrence Kohlberg's six stages of moral development. These two models offer different but complementary lenses. Erikson's model focuses on the psychosocial challenges we encounter as we develop our sense of self, our relationships with others and our plac...

Why does the dream job so often remain a dream? Why does it seem almost impossible to land one? In reality, the newly arrived talent is usually placed into one of the existing organisational functions and expected to move along with the other functions already in place. This article looks at what happens to talent inside organisational landscapes: how people who were hired for their abilities, potential and experience can gradually become reduced to the function they occupy — and eventually be left to rely largely on their own motivation to keep developing beyond it. It also raises a more fundamental ethical question: If companies hire people for their talent, is it ethically sound to treat them merely as functions once they arrive? 🌀 The Vicious Circle Companies search for talent. Organisations hire functions. So what happens to the person in between? Having invested enormous effort in landing a job that aligns with their dream tasks and overall professional goals, many newly recruit...

The theory defines Functionality as the UX layer responsible for task solving. In this article, however, I want to take a closer look at what task solving actually includes — and whether the other UX layers are, in fact, separate from the task, or whether they also contribute to solving it. 🧩 6 Layers of UX - A Framework for Design  In one of my latest articles, I discussed the UX pyramid — the six layers of UX. While being of great utility in the design process, it is essentially a checklist that helps us remember the different components of a good experience and their construction principles. But the framework is made for us to design from, not to experience. That is a great distinction. When designing interfaces, we should therefore remember that all these layers ultimately contribute to making a task possible, understandable, efficient and engaging: ⚙️ Functionality makes the task possible. 🛡️ Reliability makes successful task completion dependable. 🧭 Usability makes the ...
