Clippy had to walk, so Mico could bounce

@microsoft.com’s new Copilot character, #Mico, reacts to your voice, helps you learn, and remembers what matters to you.
It’s expressive, smart, and surprises (there’s an Easter egg 👀)

Now live in the US. #Copilot #Clippy

I believe in tech’s potential, but I’m adamantly against platforms that harm kids.

Study shows Snapchat’s algorithms recommended drug dealers to 13 year olds. We are naïve to think this isn’t happening in the 🇺🇸 too.

#Snapchat & others must do better!

Watched “I Like Me”, the John Candy doc on Prime by @vancityreynolds.bsky.social

Candy made us laugh, but also made a lasting impression. Battled anxiety & self-image, yet stayed kind, generous, & genuine.

Dan Aykroyd said it best: “He was a grand man.” This film proves it! #MustWatch #Legend
The most important Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) aren’t metrics, they’re mindsets:

✅ INFORMED
✅ INVOLVED
✅ INTERESTED
✅ INSPIRED

Forget the spreadsheets and remember that performance starts with people.

A GREAT TEAM isn’t where the loudest voice wins or where constant interjections take over.

Talking over one another isn’t passion. It’s a lack of discipline to listen & a lack of respect for the speaker.

Every voice matters. Listening carries as much weight as speaking.
Change is constant. Full Stop!🛑

Change doesn’t wait until we’re ready. It arrives sometimes as a ripple, sometimes as a tidal wave. 🌊

The difference between thriving and struggling isn’t the size of the wave, it’s the posture we take toward it.

Surf’s up, change agents. 🏄‍♂️
One of the healthiest habits: Don’t take anything personally.

It’s like installing a psychological firewall that protects your energy, your clarity, & your relationships.

Most people’s behavior reflects them, not you.

Stay grounded. Respond, don’t absorb.

A degree ≠ a job anymore.

Employers want proof of skills, not just credentials.

✅ Portfolios > Resumes
