SELF IMPROVEMENT

It's 3:28 AM on a Tuesday. You're wide awake, heart racing.

Replaying that moment in yesterday's meeting when you stumbled over your words like a hungry goat.

Utter emotional damage.

This severe case of feeling like a fraud has you questioning why you’re even here.

Can you relate?

If so, I want you to know something important:

You're not alone, and you're not an imposter.

We know what it's like to second-guess every decision.

To watch co-workers confidently share ideas, while you stay silent, convinced your contributions aren't valuable.

But somehow, despite your accomplishments, that nagging voice of self-doubt won't go away.

I get it.

I've seen a lot of talented young professionals like you trapped in this dark ditch of self-doubt…

Watching their potential slip away as imposter syndrome holds them back.

But…

What if you had a personal AI coach working 24/7 to share office tips just for you in real-time and validate your skills?

How much better would you feel overcoming imposter syndrome and maxing out your full potential?

Well, today is your lucky day cause Kin is exactly what you’re looking for.

Imagine having a personal career advisor, and confidence coach – all rolled into one powerhouse that fits in your pocket.

With Kin you can overcome imposter syndrome, speak up like a boss, take on high-visibility projects, and advance your career with confidence.

GOOGLE

Google is bringing its Gemini AI into the Workspace suite, making it available to many more users.

Starting in Q4, Gemini will be included in Workspace Business, Enterprise, and Frontline plans, so there’s no need to buy it separately.

Gemini will follow the same rules as Gmail and Docs, meaning it won’t use user data or prompts to train the AI.

Soon, administrators will also be able to control how long Gemini stores user prompts and responses, with more options for managing this coming soon.

Here’s the gist:

Gemini AI will be part of Workspace plans at no extra cost.

User data and prompts won’t be used to train the AI.

A new “Security Advisor” tool will offer extra protection for Workspace users.

No extra fees, just extra features

Google has also ensured Gemini meets top industry security and privacy standards, giving businesses confidence in using it.

In addition, Google is rolling out a new “Security Advisor” tool, which will send IT administrators important security insights.

This includes safe browsing and extra data protection for services like Chrome, Gmail, and Google Drive.

These features will be made available to paying Workspace customers over the next few weeks.

Their new ‘Security Advisor’ is like having a digital bodyguard that sends tips right to your inbox.
