Collaboration

On the plane ride home from Dallas, our team was talking and spending some time doing an informal debrief of our week together at the 2013 HTG Summit. I thought it would be good to review some of the great events and activities of the week we just experienced.  So over the next few posts, I'll summarize the view from where I sit.

Now being three months post sale of HTS, I’ve been thinking a lot about finishing strong.  The reality is that making it all the way to the end running hard and right is rare.  Many folks tend to flame out at some point along the journey.  Even in the Bible, it is filled with examples over and over of people who were living large for God and then just fall apart at the end, or later on the journey through life.  In today’s world, there are lots of examples of folks that have been leading well and then fall apart as they begin to wind down.

Open a PDF in Word and make changes! Simply awesome. All you have to do is File–>Open and browse to find your PDF doc. Word 2013 attempts to place the text and graphics in place but there may be some formatting layout adoptions that don’t work out so well. But anyway, it is worth the time it takes to make a try. Once opened be sure to double check each page for layout changes.  After edits save the file as a .docx or .pdf or both. Below is a screen shot of 3 of my recent PDFs that I have had opened in Word.

You can visualize with blue tracing arrows where you are getting your answers from in Excel. From the Formulas tab–>Formula Auditing group–>click Trace Precedents. Arrows will point to the cells that the formula is using.

Teaming up OneNote and SkyDrive is an awesome way to communicate my goals to myself. As Zig Ziglar said, how can you hit a target you don’t have. I created a list at the beginning of the year on my OneNote SkyDrive account. I can easily view my list from my Windows phone anytime I want to. One of my personal family goals is to read books to my boys as they go to bed.
