TommyLog – Reverence for the Fallen

Having respect and a reverence for those who have put themselves before others is so important. A Facebook posting this week really hit home for me. The post was about how she had a body of a fallen solder on her plane and how the the body was deplaned before any of the passengers. That really hit me hard as a humbling experience.

Took me back to an experience I had visiting ground zero at the world trade center plaza just 5 weeks after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

TommyLog – Respecting Others Opinions

Emma and I talk about opinions and the difference between fact and opinion. We talk about how important it is to respect others opinions. You do not have to agree, but it need to be nice to those who have differing opinions than yourself.

She’s only in 1st grade yet she speaks years ahead of her time.

TommyLog TECH – Staying Organized With Evernote #vzwbuzz #AD

Staying organized in this day and age is so important! The one tool that I just love to use to keep myself digitally organized is Evernote. Using Evernote on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is just such a pleasure. One reason is the huge screen for taking down notes and making notations. Evernote is just so multi platform. You can find Evernote for your desktop machine, Mac or PC as well as ever smartphone flavor out there, Android, IOS, Windows Mobile as well as Blackberry.

One of my favorite Evernote features is the ability to OCR pictures. I love to take pictures of business cards and let Evernote OCR them for easy searching. That’s a free tip from Tommy ☺

Another tip is to set up an Evernote email address. Evernote has the ability to process emails and sort them to different notebooks. That way I can send emails or forward emails right into an Evernote notebook. All you need to do is add the “@notebooknamehere” to the subject line and the email will be sent to that particular notebook. LOVE that feature.

One huge hidden gem about purchasing the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Verizon is that fact you get a Evernote Premium upgrade with each phone. That’s about a $50 freebee. Bring a premium subscriber gets you more bandwidth and storage as well as a list of other features found here. http://evernote.com/premium/

Using Evernote to keep me organized on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is totally “Tommy Approved”!!

TommyLog – Upwards and Onward!

Well the cat is out of the bag. I have put in my 2 weeks notice at my current working place and now I’m off to bigger things. My time here has been amazing, but new opportunities come and this one was just too great to pass up.

It’s the hard to say goodbye, but the smile is just so wide on my face with the possibilities here.

I took part in the Cultivate Fox Cities Chamber event that took place yesterday and WOW what it a GREAT Event. One thing that stood out for me was how to wow the customer. The keynote speaker talked about the Ritz-Carlton hotel and how employees are empowered to make customers happy.

She talked about the difference between a satisfied customer and a  loyal customer.

Amazing day, amazing people!
