Use your network, is often said - this requires tthat you maintain it. Begin by defining what you hope to achieve through your networking efforts. Whether it’s finding new clients, learning about industry trends, or seeking mentorship, having clear goals will help you identify whom to reach out to and tailor your approach accordingly. When initiating contact, whether with new or existing connections, craft your messages to reflect your genuine interest in them and their work. Avoid generic messages. Instead, mention specific details that show you’ve done your homework and have a genuine reason for reaching out.

Listening to what a customer ACTUALLY says is super important in order to understand their needs. This can be hard in remote work due to the "noise" generated by the tools used. During video calls or virtual meetings, practice active listening by showing engagement through nodding, maintaining eye contact through the camera, and providing verbal affirmations. This signals that you are genuinely interested in what the other person has to say. Also always encourage dialogue by asking open-ended questions that require more than a yes or no answer. Inquire about the challenges they face, the projects they're excited about, or their professional aspirations. This opens up the dialogue for more meaningful exchanges.

I often use personal feedback after remote work sessions, this can by by sending personalized messages... for instance: After a successful client engagement, workshop, or any interaction, send an email to appreciate input or contributions. Acknowledge specific contributions or insights shared by individuals. This personal touch will make your gratitude feel more genuine and memorable. Public recognition is also often a great idea Use professional platforms like LinkedIn to publicly acknowledge the accomplishments of your peers, clients, or collaborators. Celebrating their successes not only shows your appreciation for their work but also helps in strengthening your relationship with them.

In my experience from numerous Skype for Business deployments, handling RPC in IIS, requires attention to detail, example. Handling Connection Limits and Timeouts. Connection Limits: IIS allows you to set limits on the number of concurrent connections to the server, here limits might need to be adjusted to ensure that the server can handle peak loads without refusing connections. Timeout Settings: IIS has various timeout settings that determine how long the server will wait for certain events before terminating. This includes settings like the idle timeout and request timeout. Properly configuring these timeouts is important to ensure that connections are not terminated, especially in scenarios where RPC calls might take longer to process.

Super important when assessing risk is to have a holistic approach to the identification of assets. Holistic Understanding of Assets: Meaning: Tangible Assets: This includes physical devices such as servers, computers, routers, and smartphones. Intangible Assets: This can be your proprietary software, intellectual property, business processes, or brand reputation. Data Classification: Not all data is of equal importance. Categorize data based on sensitivity, such as public, internal, confidential, and classified.
