Snacks and some words of wellness and encouragement from our team's Big Boss today😃COVID certainly hasn't been easy on P&C/TA teams, but sometimes it's little things that go a long way!

Something tells me my running shoe store isn't closing out their calls with "Thanks. Get money." But I appreciate the encouragement to keep up that hustle, crappy voice-to-text.

Oh man - important lesson re-learned. Sometimes, it's best just to not scan the comments section.

@rfortmeyer A haiku of appreciation:

With wings akimbo,
Oh, naked bird decanter! -
Take my damn money.

I am really not sure what my advertising algorithms think of me at the moment...😂

Ya'll this needs to be required watching. Rich, complex stories and reflection on media representation from an absolute knock-out cast and crew! Gogogo - watch it tonight.

"I think for a long time, the ways in which trans people have been represented on screen have suggested that we're not real...that we don't exist. And yet here I am. Yet here we are, and we've always been here." @Lavernecox

#DisclosureNetflix is now streaming worldwide.

There is a distinct possibility my newfound obsession with Gantt charts it's getting a little outta control over here😅

@Josh_Bersin Shares that learning has become a game changer for resilience today. What type of learning? Interesting enough, increasing one's soft skills, which is now defined as "hard" skills. Great webinar! @Ceridian

Tough day of defense against active attack efforts on the power button (and general typing motions).

Bets on which one will be first to make me look like an all caps idiot?

Tip: If you are relatively junior in your career, proclaiming you "have a vast depth of experience and have well and truly seen it all" won't impress people the way you think it will.

Lets talk essential leadership/humanity skills sets: Curiosity. Reflection. Empathy.

Updating your resume? Get them super vague buzzwords out of your resume objective statements! Everyone says they are a "team player." Now choppity chop, chop that fluff off.

[Carmen Drake (She / Her) @_CarmenDrake]

Oh, whoa - this was an eventful week to have casually picked up and dusted off the old twitter account...

[Carmen Drake (She / Her) @_CarmenDrake]

Friends, end your meeting when it’s over. Truly, your meeting need not always take the full 30 min / 60 min / 2 hours, if fully completed early! Give your people support, smiles, and some time to actually go to the bathroom.

[Carmen Drake (She / Her) @_CarmenDrake]

Feel hurt, feel confused, feel enraged. Figure out how you need to process this for yourself.

Then do something.

[Katrina Kibben @KatrinaKibben]

Read. Act. Repeat. You can't be silent.

Absolutely horrific.

Challenging myself and others to be better allies, and do more to de-systematize racial injustice (in the US and abroad).

This is serious. Happened today in Manhattan. As a public defender for over a decade, I have tried cases where the Manhattan DA uses a "hysterical 911 call" as categorical evidence of guilt. Usually there's no video like this to refute it. (1/4)
