Simple.
Hi, I'm Kia. Lover of all things simple. After my career in tech for the past 35 years, I’ve noticed a trend where ‘leaders’ and ‘managers’ shoe horn technology where it’s not needed. I decided to leave the bubble to live a simpler life. And share my experience so maybe you can achieve the same level of calm I’ve come to enjoy. The transition for me hasn’t been easy. It’s been one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. But I was willing to sacrifice.https://kiakamgar.com

It's not working 16.04.2021 2:20
We all get into a position where we think nothing's working. I've been changing the way I work, and in the coming few months, I'm moving out of my comfort zone. So I reached out to find who can help me. It's ok to ask for help!

Evolve the way you work 15.04.2021 2:50
Moving away from something you know can be challenging. But without trying something new, we fester and get annoyed with everything around us. So why not change your surroundings or the way you work?

Conversation with Elizabeth Pampalone 14.04.2021 1:20:53
Elizabeth is one of those rare finds. She's a marketing expert that knows exactly where the clients need to be and how to get here. She has been a client of mine in the past and has implemented Tech Minimalism into her email workflow, but what struck me was how knowledgeable she is and how she likes to share that knowledge. Our Conversation here took us on a journey through how one can make use of...
Practicality not Hope 13.04.2021 2:08
You’ll never win the fight that marketers and salespeople are waging. So it would be best if you were more practical when you’re searching for that product or service. Because if you’re not practical, you’re just hoping something will stick.

Keep on going 12.04.2021 2:11
It's not easy to make content if you have no audience. And it's definitely not easy if there's no feedback, good or bad. But we make it because we enjoy it but mainly because we hope that someone out there benefits somehow.

Put your own mask on first 09.04.2021 1:53
As business professionals and humans, we always have the urge to help someone, and that's never a bad thing. However, there's a reason why on planes, they tell you to put on your own mask first before helping someone else.

Choose process over tools 08.04.2021 2:02

Conversation with Sebestian Ong 07.04.2021 2:06:47
Sebestian is a digital and social marketer and strategist as well as a LinkedIn expert who I’ve been getting a bunch of great nuggets of information from via his LinkedIn posts and interactions. We met on Clubhouse about a week or so ago, but his insight on marketing strategies really made me realise how I could better my efforts to help my business. We set this conversation up after talking on Li...
Take time to absorb 06.04.2021 2:43
There is too much information out there, and all we seem to do is scan, skip and glaze at information. We need to take time to read, absorb and learn from what we're consuming. Otherwise, we're just wasting time. Watch the video: https://kiakamgar.com/take-time-to-absorb Join the newsletter: https://kiakamgar.com/newsletter Support the podcast: https://kiakamgar.com/support
Milestones matter more 05.04.2021 2:46
Looking at a list of tasks for a project with no context can cause a lot of anxiety. So why would anyone create all the tasks before a project has even started? Wouldn't it be best to make them as you work on the project?

Multitasking isn’t good for anyone 31.03.2021 2:46
We all love to be able to get a bunch of work done on any given day, but have you thought about how much of an energy suck multitasking is? And do you really get more done?

Remote work is just a fad 30.03.2021 4:04
The ability to work remotely isn't just for the employees to drink margaritas on the beach. It's for your business to offer work to the most talented from all over the world. So if your tech isn't ready, your business is going to lose out.

They can't fix every problem 29.03.2021 3:14
Over the weekend, I pondered the claim "We're here to fix the problem of…" that some SaaS/software companies try to peddle. I don't buy it, because they don't know MY problem as they haven't worked with me.

Stop paying for nothing 26.03.2021 3:08
More often than not, I find many paying for software and services they don't use or make use of. They're simply too 'busy' worrying about choosing 'the right one' due to FOMO that nothing fits their workflow and wasting money in the process.

Life shouldn't be incidental 25.03.2021 2:46
Enjoying life is what it's all about, right? Well, if you make life more of a priority than your work, then yes. However, I've found that many make their life incidental to their work. And that, to me, is a wasted life.

Simplicity isn't for everyone 24.03.2021 2:25
Do you crave simplicity? It's one of those questions that's replied with a 'yes', but often, the actual answer is 'no'. As strange as that sounds, this is precisely how some prospective clients see it when it comes to simplifying their tech and IT.

Do you value your time? 23.03.2021 3:02
Time is something we all don’t have much of, even though we think we do. So why would you not value your time?

The right tools for success 22.03.2021 3:00
Having data and communication all over the place can make you feel unproductive and, at times, anxious.

More tech isn't the answer 18.03.2021 2:47

How much data do you need? 17.03.2021 5:17
We collect, gather and hoard way too much data that we need to. Have you thought about the impact it’s having on our mental state? And the energy we use to keep data that we will probably never need or use?
