I made a video about staying curious and sharing your knowledge with others.
That video inspired this idea… take your knowledge and make your own content. Build your own library and share it with your co-workers and the world.
Not only does it help your peers, but it makes you a more valuable employee at your company and externally.
This video walks through how and why to make content – and if you like it, please let me know and ask questions!

College students are heading back to campus for a new school year. They are thinking about dorms, classes, and their friends. They should also be thinking about securing an internship.
Approximately 70% of employers offer their interns full-time jobs upon graduation. Students who completed an internship are 15% less likely to be unemployed in the first years after college. Not having a strategy to get an internship could really impact a student’s life after school.
Now is the time to start prepping.
Internships give experience, create networking opportunities, and they help kids determine if they even like the job.
Job interviews can be intense and difficult.
Worrying about the questions hiring managers and HR teams will ask is stressful. While there are no magic bullets to make every interview perfect, there are some strategies you can deploy to have a better experience.
Preparation is certainly key, but it is important to remember to focus on the lasting impression you are leaving. This video gives some tips on how to do that.
For those that have been on the internet since the early 90’s, it is safe to assume that you amassed several email addresses from the service providers that sprung to life during the internet’s infancy.
AOL. Hotmail. Live.com are just a few.
If you continue to use these older email services, will it reflect poorly on you? Does it say something about your ability to change and adapt or embrace newer technologies?
This video ponders this idea and provides some suggestions to move ahead and was inspired by a Lifehacker.com article by Jeff Somers that can be read here.
I have been having conversations with friends and co-workers about the appropriate amount of time to respond to a manager’s email.
Some people say a week, others say 24-48 hours, and some say within a few hours. The urgency factor also comes into play as not all requests are created equal.
This video is about level-setting my own expectations and coming to terms with my management style. Do I have reasonable timelines or not?
I did some google research and even asked ChatGPT.
Watch the video and let me know your thoughts on what is a reasonable response window.
