Description
Sherman set the wayback machine to 1984. How was information communicated in your school? Notes in your mailbox? The school intercom system? Maybe you were one of the lucky ones to actually have a phone on the wall in your room. Today things are just a bit different - email, WhatsApp, WeChat, and more. How we communicate and the tools we choose really impact the effectiveness of our teams. Join us as we discuss ways to get people in your organization sharing some common protocols around communication.
Lessons Learned
Dennis - Efficiency is intelligent laziness. Sometimes a simple thing (click, keyboard shortcut, etc.) can save you time and make your life SO much easier.
Chris - We underestimate the amount of work everyone else has to do. The flipside of that statement is also true. So, be kind, be generous, and be understanding. You’ll want that treatment too, guaranteed.
Daniel - Take really good care of external hard drives. I had one crash this week. Not giving up though.
Fun Fact
The average human body carries ten times more bacterial cells than human cells
