A Halloween collage: “You’ll float too”
The best holiday of the year is quickly approaching. If you’re like me and love scary movies, you might recognize the line “You’ll float too” from IT, a movie based on Stephen King's novel. In honor of Halloween I crafted a collage featuring the petrifying Pennywise. I first painted my 4” x 4” canvas bright yellow, then painted green and blue squiggly lines on top of that. The final layer brings together a collection of little things that caught my eye. A used postage stamp I'd saved from the mail, a design made with a rubber stamp, a New Jersey Transit ticket stub, and a sticker in the shape of a bow. While searching for tiny items to fit the collage I stumbled upon a sticker sheet filled with beach essentials - sunglasses, ear plugs, a towel, and a life preserver. When I spotted that, I knew I had to include it. Against the backdrop of IT, the donut shaped floatation device was too perfect to leave out. And then there's the sticker that ties it all together: “You'll float too.”
Designed a Knowledge Base Blueprint for Toastmasters Club Secretaries
Every July, a Toastmasters club hands its records to a new set of officers. Whether that handoff goes smoothly depends on one thing: whether anyone can find anything.
Keeping those records is the job of the Club Secretary, one of a club’s seven officers. The Secretary maintains files, handles correspondence, and takes minutes at club and Executive Committee meetings. I first served in the role at Pride Toastmasters Club, where I organized our records in Google Drive. I enjoyed the work enough to take it on again at the New York AI Toastmasters Club.
The Case for Knowledge Management
Why does great knowledge management rarely reach the C-suite? A look at the gap between what KM delivers and how leadership hears it.
AI won’t fix your knowledge management program
Most organizations invest in tools, systems, and documentation, and still watch knowledge walk out the door. The missing ingredient isn't a better platform or AI. It's conversation.
