Last week we unleashed the power of the story.
Next week we'll find out about a story in the correct place and time.
This week, be it painful or blissful, stories are only effective when received.

Believe it or not, your business tells a story, and we don’t mean to your customers. We mean to you. Are you listening? Do you even know what to listen for? To do what? MORE, right? Well, what does that actually mean?

This week Jessica Dewell and Scott Scowcroft will explore what your business can tell you, and if you don’t like the storyline? Well, that’s part of this week’s show too.

Who better to help us explore and dig into this topic than Jason Frasca? He loves solving technical, operational and business inefficiencies using my unique ability to deconstruct complex problems, and leveraging technology to optimize business performance.

Whether looking for new opportunities, ways to grow, building processes, acquiring expertise…first, check in with the business. It gladly gives us information, clues, and areas to explore. Yet, we overlook this attention our business shines on us.

Receiving, or active listening, to the business will help identify low hanging fruit (easy to implement ideas), cost savings and time savings.

Let’s give our business a bit of love back through active listening - and see how we can tune in and magnify the things that could hold us back or propel us forward by learning how to listen and receive important information.

Spoiler Alert: Jason’s in depth knowledge of the how and why of Evernote  allows him to share how operational competency and narrative can touch at the deepest level to create great stories.This is one episode of the JSY! show you’ll not want to miss.

YOU (the Y in JSY) matter - come and explore this topic with us. Start the conversation now.

(We are a LATE show. Responding Yes or Maybe will set a reminder so you can catch the replay if it isn't a time you can join us live.)

*Hashtag: #JSY *

Like the topic? Know someone that will enjoy it? Invite your friends to watch too - right below these words you’ll see an Invite More button.

I am not sure if this is the way I am supposed to ask a question(s) of this fine group of people?

I am not sure if this is the way I am supposed to ask a question(s) of this fine group of people?

I have a few questions regarding Gmail or google calendar and contacts and how to effectively use them.

First question, I have set up a group within gmail but do not want the other recipients to see the email addresses or names of the others in my group. Is there a way to do this?

2. Is there a way I can have Gmail access the contacts I have on my iPhone 4S without me having to re enter each contact within gmail when I want to send an email using one of my gmail email addresses? In other words, can gmail easily access my existing iphone contacts?

I would like to use Google calendar on all of my i Devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac, MacBook Air) instead of the built in calendar used by all of these devices since I use ONLY G+ as my social platform.

This came up recently when Heather Kraafter sent me an event invite for a personal hangout we have scheduled. I had to manually take her invite and enter onto my iPhone since I don't regularly use the Google Calendar function. I would be open to it but don't understand how it all integrates and it is essential that any calendar items I enter onto one device automatically flow to the others. I assume Google can do this but don't know for sure.

Question:

Question:
I had my first Business-Hangout yesterday
I wanted to change the upper right quadrant to a logo I made. I uploaded it to my Google drive, when I clicked on the button to change it, then entered the address of it's place in the google drive it showed it, but also showed the editing tools with it. It did not show just the image...why?

Also, do I have to use an "HTTPS" to show something in that area or is it possible to show/use an "HTTP", like if I wanted to show a standard webpage to my group?

Then, I promoted a viewer to a participants it didn't show up, he also disappeared from the auditorium. He was still in the filmstrip, but was showing in the participant, viewers, or the map.

These are just a few of many questions I have, I am so lost and I am sorry for needing so much help, but I just can't seem to grasp the concepts I guess.

Testing CRSI Guest Settings

http://youtu.be/PcjwL1SIVps

Hi guys!

Hi guys!  Tested  my concept of creating a guest account on Google Plus for use by people who have no Google Plus account of their own.  In my short video, I logged in via a laptop using the "guest" account.  I invited the guest account into the hangout, and when the invitation was accepted the guest camera picked up the "pre designated" custom overlay for use as a lower third.  That concept seemed to work well.  Now I have a question. If I wanted to provide a custom overlay to my guest while we were in the "green room" could I use Google Drive for that purpose?  I've toyed a little with trying to run slide presentations from Google Drive (which seems to be recommended elsewhere) but confess to having no success.  Any thoughts?

I have SO many questions after holding my first Business Hang Out event yesterday. YIKES!

I have SO many questions after holding my first Business Hang Out event yesterday. YIKES!

QUESTION #1: During the hang-out I clicked on the chat button in the upper left hand corner and the chat displayed on the right side of the screen. I "thought" that was the way to get the chat to show up on the attendee's screens, but when I asked, none of the attendees could see the chat screen. How do I get the chat screen to show up for my attendees?
