 As we look back over these last few months I've recognized that I did participate in some of these concepts over the course of my career, though using specific tools for each was not my typical method.  I've worked in the Food Industry as a Quality and Regulatory specialist for the past decade and so I've spent a lot of time looking through regulatory bodies' rules, however I haven't done much to engage beyond my immediate contacts. As much as I've avoided it, I think Twitter will now remain as a crucial point in gathering information from sources that actively posts materials here or respond to questions through here.  Even as someone who doesn't like to remain connected at all times, getting a daily summary or semi-daily summary when I want to check in on Twitter and responses is important as well.  It is also useful in keeping conversations short and sweet and avoiding conversations which go on too long and cover too much information for the reader.

 One of the major tools that's come to my attention is...   Both for work and school I have found this tool to be increasingly useful as an established method to allow classmates and coworkers alike to respond to question I have for them without causing them to lose time in their day. The free version of SurveyMonkey's "Basic" plan allows you to to create as many surveys as you would like, while limiting the amount of questions per survey to 10, easy enough if you're looking to just ask for some quick feedback on an issue or idea.  You can provide a web-link or a QR code for users to scan and respond to via PC or mobile devices and view up to 40 responses to your survey (you get more responses, but can only view them all buy buying in). While you do get a lot with the free package, upgrading also includes tools and features that better enhances your own experience and better shows off your survey to others.  It will also allow you to use SurveyMonkeys respondent...

There are two sides of us when we hold a job, one of the most recent analysis tools I've used is regarding a DISC assessment.  We can lead a natural and adapted style depending on our job and what is expected of us.  This is a tool that asks you a series of questions and related them into four categories: A free assessment can be found here:  https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/ODAT/ Dominance: How we act to express ourselves, by being outgoing in making our demands known to others. Influence: The ways we interact with others to gain approval or make ourselves known. Steadiness: Being calm in the face of stress, value of cooperation. Conscioentousness: How we follow regularity, order and adaption to changes. These are concepts we can use to identify ourselves and how others can be identified.  Using this assessment, my team recently was able to find out what they were doing from the perspective other than their own.  Much of the assessment was accurate to t...
