I wanted the pink… but, the iPad Pro only comes in silver and space grey. Sigh. I wanted Pro not professional. 😔

I’ve been looking at this pink iPad all day.. 🥰💕

Well said.

“I don’t have time” is a poor excuse for treating people poorly. No one is too busy to be kind.

Managers who can't find a minute to be civil shouldn't be managing people. Making your team feel valued is core to the job.

It's always worth your time to show you care about others.

@CISAJen @AdamMGrant Great book! I’d also recommend @RobertIger memoir, The Ride of a Lifetime.

@neilmcrae @RunningBren Hahaha! @neilmcrae I’m looking for a social media manager to post the worst pictures of me possible… you’re in the running! 😆

The dissonance between today’s verdict and the Jetson-like world we live in is hard to wrap my head around. For me, this is more than simply a woman’s right to choose. It’s the first thread pulled in unraveling the fabric of civil liberties that binds a society together. 💔😞

.@Forbes this is an oversimplification of the challenge start-up’s face. The problem is multi-faceted, w/ shared culpability on the part of vendors, analysts, and customers. DM if you’d like to discuss more.

The challenge is getting the right combination of tools when the big players in the cybersecurity market are pushing bundled products comprised largely of mediocre solutions. https://t.co/L5M6DPrMke

Another great read by @HarvardBiz. Everyone in a leadership position should do a gut check. Are we truly being open and inquisitive, or are we just hearing an echo?

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Leaders with good judgment listen for what’s unsaid. They surround themselves with people who will tell them what they need to know — not what they want to hear. And they think carefully about the risks of implementation — even for small projects. https://t.co/v2XQfnTPjF

Wow, just wow! When opportunity knocks… answer!! If this article doesn’t remind you to never hesitate in life, just go for it! I’m so happy for this kid. I hope he becomes the rocker/ drummer he wants to be. #PearlJam https://t.co/kXaLK6DoKc

@chsjuniper You’re so right! We have to be better than that.

[Samantha Madrid @WebSecMaven]

I just read an article about “ZTNA 2.0” - citing that ZTNA 1.0 wasn’t secure enough, really? The Security industry needs to just stop with this nonsense. If you want to assert that your products are better, then prove it. Do 3rd party testing. Stop making up marketing terms.

[Samantha Madrid @WebSecMaven]

I read the actual article, w/ the full quote, & while it has been taken a bit out of context it was still rude. And, shows a lack of sportsmanship that says more about Helmut Marko (& Red Bull by extension), than it does about Hamilton or Max’s race day performance. SMH. #F1
