Comment on Group Projects & Team Work / Team Player by Cleo Parker

Cleo Parker — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 19:30:38 +0000

Reminds me of some choices I made in college. I was in a program where I could design my own major, and despite designing a major in marketing research, I did not take marketing because everyone said it was so hard. When I got to grad school I HAD to take marketing, they were some of the easiest, most intuitive classes I ever had. In retrospect, I think people said the first undergrad class was so hard was because it required a team project and people always got (at least) one slacker on their team.

Comment on Freemium Models: Must Read by John Greathouse

Jason,

Thanks for your kind words. BuddyHelp was a hard lesson to learn at the time, as it created a lot of tension. However, I am glad others can learn from BuddyHelp many years later, without the emotional strife!

Per your comment, BuddyHelp was the precursor to GoToMyPC, which led to GoToMeeting and eventually GoToWebinar.

Thanks again for sharing my thoughts with your readers.

Keep truckin Jason. As long as you keep connected to your clients you will continue to navigate towards their needs and change your approach to best grow and develop. The others will continue to come and go maybe even have a few stay. The short of it is, you’ll be in the front and the innovator and will keep this new career management landscape yours.

It certainly wasn’t a good start… but they continue to #fail by the way the are pursuing it… threatening the city, not settling quickly so it goes away…

GRAMA is the basically Utah’s state level freedom of information act.

Firing these employees seems like the worst possible thing that Wal-Mart could have done in this case.

Comment on On Parenting: Do You See Roots or Fruits? by Becky

That was beautiful! My friend shared it with me. I think you should DEFINITELY make it into a parents’ book that reads like a childrens’ book. It made me cry. And feel proud of my labor and my children! Thank you, we all need to be reminded.
