  • Celebration!

     

    It's meeting week here in North America, so we’ve officially kicked off Q4 2020. I don’t know about you but I’m ready to finish this quarter strong and then have a great plan to tackle 2021. Many of us could use the Psychological reset of a holiday season and turning the calendar into a new year.

    Are you ready for 2021? Do you have your business plan, strategy and goals for next year laid out with your leadership teams? Now is the time – we need to ensure we’re holding each other accountable in being accurate with where we’re at and in building plans to execute to be better next year.

    We are heads down delivering next week, but I want to make you aware of a couple of important videos you and your team should watch as you prepare for 2021:

    • The Microsoft 365 Training we did last week is recorded and posted here. Worthwhile to have your service people review that training.

    • The Operationalizing Your 2021 Business Plan workshop concluded last week and Mike has posted those workshops as well. A lot of good material on moving from 'Managing To What Good Looks Like' to 'Building Teams and Strategy.' I’d encourage you to check those out. The North America Workshop is posted here. The APAC Workshop is posted here.


    Also, in each geography for Q4 Community Day we’re “taking stock” of where we’re at and providing perspective on 2021. For the Evolve session, we’re going to Celebrate the combination of making it through 2020 and also talk with Arlin Sorensen about the 20 years of Evolve. Arlin was, deservedly so, voted the 2020 Circle of Excellence Leader of the Year for his leadership and dedication to creating business value for customers. We’re going to get his perspective on 20 years of helping many of us success in business and life. Then we’ll lay out some of what we have planned for 2021 in Evolve and how you can take advantage of your membership in the community.

    We sure appreciate you allowing us to walk with you – especially this year. If you’re in North American have a great meeting – EMEA and APAC your turn is coming, so get those plans ready!

    Stay healthy and lead strong!
