How did Dropbox go from 5,000 to 75,000 users overnight? They changed from describing their solution to empathetic alignment with their customers problem. Watch the video and within 40 seconds you can feel you are both engaged with the problem and see their solution. https://lnkd.in/eU3g-VpQ Thanks to Guy Manzur for originally posting the video!

Here's good news from the Tennessee Arts Commission for those of us who are fortunate enough to work with children of all ages and abilities! As life-long learners, our skills can always be enhanced when we take advantages of resources that will allow us to be better at our jobs. I recommend this training for all arts educators. Accessibility Webinar entitled - Disability Etiquette: How to include people with Disabilities in Your Arts Programming!

Back from an inspiring team week in Seattle, I am grateful to be part of a company that values culture and teamwork. Here are some key takeaways: 1. Reflecting on roots: Being on campus reminded us of Microsoft’s beginnings, highlighting the consistency and perseverance - skills that are important to carry every day. 2. Giving Back: “Microsoft Give”, a company program filled with initiatives to support various social causes through fundraising and volunteering. This is a reminder that giving back is my a human responsibility, that should continue year-round. 3. Team Spirit: We engaged in different activities, reinforcing that work is a team game and an opportunity to serve. 4. Pure Joy: Starting the day with rehabilitated foster ponies—pure serotonin! #microsoft #microsoftgive

Hey, all. Today’s good read is a little bit different from what I usually share. It’s a course in accessibility fundamentals offered, free, by Microsoft. It contains 7 modules, and should take you less than 3 hours to complete. At Amazon, we celebrate May as Global Accessibility Awareness Month - so I think May is a great time for you (and maybe your whole team!) to do a couple of modules a week, and learn more about accessibility. Make it happen! #accessibility #A11yGoodReads https://lnkd.in/gDKwfYeS
