Read this and rethink UV light for sanitizing, disinfecting and cleaning your surfaces.

[SOSChargingSolutions @TakeChargeSOS]

To UV or Not to UV, We Asked the Question! We were wondering what is most effective at disinfecting surfaces for our equipment and mobile devices, so we did a deep dive to find out. #cleancharging #eventprofs #events #meetingprofs https://t.co/Je4SpZdBRz

As I see almost every industry trend towards ZOOM and other tools for continuing business, I thought I'd write an article to help those who might be new to "virtual meetings". This isn't how to lead them, it's help on how to attend them with purpose! https://t.co/QkPLtULc2c

As a Canadian, I’m insulted by the Trump Administration’s attempt to stop vital medical supplies coming into Canada.

This is not in anyone’s best interest, and it’s not how friends and neighbours treat each other when things get tough.

As we all move into the video and audio conference world, I think a few of us could review this classic gem of a clip during these times. https://t.co/n2vluvYaMl

[Mike Metcalfe @techcalfe]

I agree here. If we can convert the events industry to virtual and live streaming, we can do the same to health care industry with some investment!

[Ryan Wilson @ryansdwilson]

I call upon our Ministry of Health to immediately advise physicians to offer outpatient care where appropriate virtually.
How many lives of seniors can we save with this easy change? What greater impetus do we need to get this done? Find me an objection we can not overcome.

May the force be with us 🤣

We all know how important it is to wash your hands in the face of #coronavirus but when was the last time you cleaned your mobile device? #chargedup @TakeChargeSOS

Finkle IS Einhorn! But no need to speak dolphin for this great article on how management IS change management.

Change management is management, and management is change management. https://t.co/IbJf84cIWY

Scary reality. Who knew cash was worth so much?

[MIT Technology Review @techreview]

Cash is on its way out. You might not think that’s anything to worry about but there’s a catch. When we lose cash, we lose our freedom. https://t.co/biGo0m7AOZ
