                <b>Liz McGlennen - Executive Director of TechFluent</b>
            </h2><p>Liz has been working with Dynamics &amp; the Microsoft stack over the past 12 years and has held roles in training, sales, delivery &amp; management for multiple Microsoft Partners. She has an MBA and a BS in Human Resource Development and has been passionate about training and development since graduating college. Since Liz became an independent consultant three years ago, she’s had more time to reflect and follow her passions, which has led to this point of starting a non-profit. She sees the demand for upskilling individuals in the Microsoft Tech industry. She knows that there are few formal avenues to enter the industry. Her goal is to bring career opportunities to communities that wouldn’t typically have access to them.</p><h2>Finding Balance</h2><p>According to a 2021 Gallup poll only 36% of the American workforce is engaged. We’ll explore the idea of being more focused and present in work and other areas of your life. Liz will cover tools and resources to help you in your ongoing engagement journey. Do you ever feel distracted or unproductive? Managing your energy rather than your time may be the key to unlocking your potential. Technology can play a dual role as you strive towards your goals.</p>

M365 Philly Virtual 2022

The term 'digital ink' is becoming a new concept with communication and Microsoft's Whiteboard is the perfect tool to enhance engaging communication.   Everyone is a visual person, yet we communicate with straight text and clip art in meetings. 

Recent studies have found that the use of handwriting in presentations and communications is 90% more effective than traditional PowerPoint slides and other studies have shown that an audience goes brain dead with traditional PowerPoint communication platforms. 

Peter Ward, MVP, adds an engagement WOW factor with the Surface Pen and Whiteboard with Teams to explain the lost art of handwriting to communicate.  Yes your history teacher at school had something with their handwriting on the blackboard -  You can remember key points, yet you half paid attention.  Go figure, there's something to be said with handwriting.

Other topics covered include: 

-How people engage with content 

-Why do people zone out 

-How to get your message across with Message Board 

-The must-have features to use with Whiteboard and Teams 

-Digital ink - How to turn what you have just heard into reality- Next Steps 

Peter reveals that everyone is born with a talent for visual thinking, even those who swear they can't draw. And he shows how thinking with the whiteboard can help teams collaborate, discover and develop new ideas, solve problems in unexpected ways, and dramatically improve your ability to share your insights.

Microsoft Teams is truly a cloud-based application--there are parts of it all through Microsoft 365! From an administration perspective, this can be confusing. This session covers the basic Teams architecture in the cloud, from a layman's perspective (not a cloud architect)--what you need to know as a Teams Owner or an Admin to find & protect your data.

Teams Architecture for Teams Owners

Microsoft Teams is constantly extending its reach into more and more facets of business collaboration. Shared Channels was one of the most exciting announcements from Ignite 2021 - seemingly promising to resolve the friction involved with cross-tenant collaboration (collaborating with other organizations using Microsoft365).

The idea of Shared Channels was simple, yet powerful. Instead of moving between Tenants to access information, allow for that same information to be available within your home tenant! Now that we’ve been able to see it in action in the Public Preview, what do we think? Has it realized the hype from last year? What are the potential scenarios where an organization may see benefit from Shared Channels (even if used for internal purposes only 🤯), and what are the potential 'gotchas' that you may encounter trying to set it up. 

Join us to see how your organization can leverage Shared Channels, even if privacy and security are paramount.

Citizen Developers can be some of the best product and change champions your organization will ever have - if motivated and managed correctly. In this session, we'll show how many of the tools and techniques we have used in Champion programs in the past should be tailored to motivate and educate citizen developers. We'll also discuss how to help Citizen Devs accept and stay within your governance guardrails. You'll leave with an step-by-step 8 week program, including meeting agendas and a Citizen Developer Guide to make your own.

- Structure your Teams consistently across your organization to ensure consistency and adoption
- Organize your Microsoft teams so that they can be used in a way that leverages all of Microsoft 365 and drives collaboration.

Join Michal from his experience in managing over 500,000 Teams across hundreds of customers to find out what actually works and what doesn't.
