Andy Gladstone Community Champion

@Monique vdB this is a very underrated and under-liked article! We need to promote this to the community.

@Brita Moorus all great selections! I am a big fan of film scores, and the LOTR and Hobbit scores are on my playlists. I especially love listening to scores that are in the order of the music in the film (I never understood why some are not) and 'watching' the movie through the music. Although I grew up in the Friends era,…

Television - The West Wing. I wish this is how the government operated. 

Music - Nirvana Unplugged in New York. I was in High School when this was filmed and dubbed a cassette tape from the audio off of the VCR, before they released this as an album. The conversations the band had between songs was hilarious and a window in to how they operated. @Sajit Nair - agree?

Here are my favorite of each genre! Movie - Star Wars Episode IV - The Empire Strikes Back The absolute best movie in the entire Star Wars canon. Have seen this at least 200 times.

@Kerli Suve as someone that watched you rise the ranks in the community I enjoyed reading this article. It makes me think about how much more work we have to do as Community Champions to raise awareness of the online forums and ACE events that users across the globe can benefit from. 

@Tomislav Tobijas reading about your gaming background gives me a greater appreciation of your ascension of the Kudos leaderboard in the Atlassian Community. When I first started to notice your name in posts last year I predicted you would become a Community Champion in no time - and I am glad the Community Managers…

@Nick Hustak I would encourage you to review the community Rules of engagement and the voice and tone guide to better understand how this community is structured and works. The behavior that you point out is certainly not in line with community standards, and you should feel free to report any violations of the community…

@Patrícia Montenegro so happy to have you back in the community! We missed you - and this post is evidence as to why! 💡 What keeps you going when things get busy? For me, it's knowing that I am making an impact on the lives of our employees and customers by being there to support them in all areas - professionally and…

I love these mega-badges. So much more than a single transaction - they drive meaningful participation by members of the community. Thanks for this update and coverage of how to achieve the badge!

I am one who already owns the badge. The review and quiz reminded exactly why I love being in this community. The like-mindedness of so many that are volunteering their time to help others, no competition, no elitism - just acceptance - is what makes us all feel so at home here. Connect as a Community This is my north star…

I was 16 when I got my learner's permit, took Driver's Ed the next semester and passed my road test so when I turned 17 I was already issued a full driver's license, bypassing the Junior License phase. It was a good thing that I achieved this so early, I lived 26 miles from my High School and most of my friends lived much…

While this is something that you generally don't send kids (or adults) to lessons for, I think knowing how to properly express appreciation is a life skill everyone should learn. The tone, inflection and body language when saying Thank You can be a spectrum of expression. And sometimes thank you alone is not enough and we…

@Hannah Fischbein 👋long time no speak! I am catching up on community posts and trying to access the webinar recording, but whenever I fill out the form at the link I receive the following error: There was an error on the server Can you assist? Thanks!

Perfect timing! My company is currently in a hiring phase and I have struggled with exactly how to scale onboarding and yet continue to keep it personal. Looking forward to reading the brief to see what I can learn from this.

Great hack @Kristian Klima! Thanks for sharing this! 

Like many others in this thread, I have been the interviewer and not the interviewee for most of my career. I have interviewed hundreds of candidates, but have only been interviewed myself (4) times - three when starting new jobs and once when being considered for internal promotion. I scored all four opportunities! But as…

Submitted! Organizing content effectively was also my vote.

Submitted. Hope my input helps.

Although I am not sure that a late submission will qualify, here is my Bingo card!

@Joe Dermody our spouses have that power, helping us discover our true selves!

@Barbara Szczesniak the undisputed mayor of the 100 acre wood. A classic!

@Laurie Sciutti that squirrel has the Marvel hero landing down pat!

@Brita Moorus they are wonderous. I hope you get to see on in real life soon!

Everyone needs one in their life! Thanks for sharing @Amanda Barber! 

And finally, as a kid that grew up outside of NYC, but spent a lot of time in Manhattan, I have always been mesmerized by the Gargoyle! Stone by day, alive at night, they protect the castles and their inhabitants from the forces of evil and darkness!

Also, anyone that has followed my posts in this community knows I am a committed Star Wars fan. My favorite animal? The Tauntaun! As Han Solo famously said "Ugh. And I thought they smelled bad on the outside."!

Here are some of my favorites! The Koala has always been my comfort animal. Not sure it's my spirit animal, but I can gaze deeply in to its eyes and find a sense of calm!
