TGIF 1/6/2023 - Edition 82

I am optimistic about what 2023 brings. The opportunity to publish my first book and continuing to lead an amazing team at Microsoft growing the Dynamics 365 ISV business, has me truly grateful.

As I read what is happening in other tech companies, I wanted to ensure that you are not alone and there are amazing opportunities to come. If you have been impacted at the start of the year, please shoot me a note on how I can help. My network is your network, including navigating Microsoft if this is a company you would consider working for. Please remember, someone else’s decision does not equal your worth!

I?hope you continue to find the insights valuable and welcome feedback on topics you would like to have included so please provide your feedback in the comments or via direct LinkedIn message. Please subscribe and share with your network. Also consider clicking on the subscribe "bell" ?? on my profile to receive notification of future posts.
