Finding my voice

Last week, I took part in a two-day workshop Performance Dynamite run by Steven Trister. It was a massive challenge for me but at the end of day two, I could not believe the change in what I believed I was capable of. I never knew I could do it.

First of all, I should say that it wasn’t my decision to sign up for this workshop. It was my boss who thought this would be good for me (thanks Phil, no really…thank you so much!).

Rapportive – the new plug-in for Gmail

Question 1: Do you have a Gmail?
Question 2: Do you hate ads?

If you answer to both of the above questions is YES, then a new Gmail plug-in – Rapportive - is going to make you a very happy person.

Rapportive replaces the annoying Google ads that appear on the right hand side for much more welcomed social media information about the senders. It helps you to get to know your contacts by showing you their picture, location, LinkedIn profile, and their Social Media activity.

I feel like if I’ve been waiting for something like this to arrive my whole life. Now I don’t need to search for my contacts’ names to find info on their job, location or whether they are on Twitter – I will see it when I open their emails.
