There were some serious #GEMS dropped in this fireside panel from the team at Microsoft. Accurately named "#Empowering Your Career: Practical Steps for Tech Professionals." - It focused on discovering the keys to unlocking your potential in the tech industry by providing hands-on guidance and practical takeaways that we could implement immediately for career elevation, amplifying our impact, and just navigating the tech industry with confidence. JP DeCuire (Senior Director, Customer Business Outcomes) - "The only difference between the person swimming and the person drowning is the mindset they had when they entered the water." Ali Powell (VP, Customer Success Azure Infrastructure & Digital and App Innovation) - "#Gratitude is such a beautiful gift, sometimes it could be as simple as giving a compliment. Remember #empathy is a #currency" Scott Prather (VP & COO, Americas Azure Cloud Business) - "This may be controversial but be in the office sometimes, there's so much #value to being #together." Stefani Quarles (Director, Azure Go-To-Market) - "with my team I'm always on camera. It helps cultivate relationships. I put time on calendars #JustBecause and I always send a little [#thoughtful #gesture like] Starbucks to put a smile on their face" You know that last one got me!!

AWS Re:invent, an event to learn about AWS current & latest offerings spread across many Vegas hotels with 65,000 in-person & several thousand virtual attendees is beginning from 27th Nov. Few tips for in person attendance which helped me navigate this mega event – The keynotes by AWS CXO executives from Tuesday to Thursday mornings are great way to hear about innovations in brief with partner testimonials. Avoid attending everything & try to select couple of topics of interest, relevant breakout sessions & hands-on workshops as commute between different hotels may take 15 minutes or more. Use your time wisely. The expo is offline marketplace to learn about different vendor solutions based on AWS services. And don’t forget to collect loads of goodies, all first-time visitors do that so don't feel shy. There is something for everyone be it data analysts, developer, security experts, Ops or FinOps. Most importantly do networking, make new friends, soak in some daylight. You never know you could be manning a company booth next year to attract prospective clients. #reinvent2023 #awscloud

Returning home from the NetApp CloudOps kick-off has me feeling inspired. This is the culture, community, and collaboration I’ve been looking for in my career. The discipline, focus, and hope was evident in the room. The raw emotion of the team felt united, and as the days went on, while we all got to know each other and our product better, the excitement continued to grow, bringing us together as one. What truly resonates with me is the experiences, emotions, and connections a brand creates. It's about building positive memories and a strong affinity. A company is more than just a collection of inputs and expenses on a financial statement. It’s a living entity that cultivates goodwill, brand equity, and passionate employees who want to be part of the community and experience time and time again. Creating these compelling experiences requires investing in top talent, providing exceptional training, and empowering employees to exceed customer expectations from the outside-in point of view. Simon Sinek said: "Customers will never love a company until the employees love it first." For those of you I met in person, thank you for taking the time to chat, customer obsession is dear to my heart, and it all starts here! I am proud to represent NetApp CloudOps products and services. Special thanks to Jenny Marshall along with the entire leadership team for their flawless and productive execution during the offsite. We are doing something extraordinary, and our talented teams are paving the way. #oneteam #opensource #cloudops #autoscaling #infrastructure #netapp #cloudoptimization #cloudmanagement #Marketplace #managedservice #AWS #GCP #AZURE #instaclustrbynetapp #spotbynetapp

LinkedIn: What do you want to talk about? Me: How about financial services industry recognition for Amdocs Product and Pricing Catalog? Or the successful conclusion of our amazing GenAI Hackathon? LinkedIn: Naaah, that's boring. If already GenAI, how about spectacular hallucinations? Me: I guess so, why not. So ... Is it really true that GenAIs don't know how to tell the time, or what today's date is? I had a surreal dialog with Microsoft Copilot this very morning (Thursday 28 March, a little before 9am - I took the screenshot afterwards). I just wanted to find some basic time information about Poland, in advance of arranging a meeting with a colleague there to discuss TM Forum and MEF Forum models. And here's what happened. Microsoft you have some work to do ... * Sent by you: What time is it now in Poland? CP: The current local time in Poland is 11:26 AM on Monday, March 25, 2024. * Sent by you: Excuse me, but today is Thursday, not Monday CP: I apologize for the confusion. You’re right, today is Thursday. I appreciate your patience and understanding. Let me correct that. The current local time in Poland is 11:26 AM on Thursday, March 28, 2024. Thank you for pointing out the error. Is there anything else you would like to know? * Sent by you: Hmmm. When I asked Google what time is it in Poland, it said 7:55. Are you sure you know how to tell the time? CP: I apologize for the confusion earlier. I appreciate your patience. Let me correct that. The current local time in Poland is 7:55 AM on Thursday, March 28, 2024. Thank you for pointing out the error. Is there anything else you would like to know? * Sent by you: Yes. Why did you make the mistakes before - this is elementary stuff. If you can't get this right how can I trust you for serious things? CP: I apologize for the errors in my previous responses. I strive to provide accurate and reliable information, but I’m not perfect and sometimes mistakes can occur. I appreciate your understanding and patience. I’m here to assist you, and I’m continually learning and improving. If you have any other questions or need assistance with something else, feel free to ask. Your feedback is invaluable in helping me improve.
