How can we improve our decision-making process? We could say that a decision is always a choice among possible alternatives. We like to believe that we are able to analyze a situation, then we understand it, then we know which alternatives are possible, and then we make a decision by choosing one of these alternatives.

However, when we analyze a situation, we actually derive from it our own personal interpretation. Different ..read more

During the last years I have been studying the fascinating discipline of Ontological Coaching. This is a learning modality aimed at transforming the type of observer we are.

When we approach a new goal of change or growth, our positioning as an observer may involve resistance or new transformational learning, and this will determine the results we obtain.

We live in a time of constant change and extremely rapid technological progress. Some professions are disappearing and new professions are being created. You will probably be forced to change professions during your lifetime. Most people will not retire in the same profession in which they started their career.

Introduction In recent years, generative models have transformed the landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Building upon this technology, companies can harness the potential of an Internal GPT: a generative model trained on their own proprietary data and internal documents ..read more

It is August 2023 and the hi-tech job market is very difficult. Here in Israel there are probably thousands of software developers, data scientists and QA engineers looking for a new job, but there are relatively very few open positions.

Most of them are looking for their first job as a programmer, and many of them didn’t even have the opportunity to do an internship. Israel also h ..read more
