Andy Gladstone Community Champion

I am looking at three certs, all of which I should have already achieved but have not been able to set aside the right time for self-study. ACA * Atlassian Cloud Foundations * Confluence Essentials ACP Atlassian Cloud Organization Admin

@Dan Breyen excellent tips. Thanks for committing these to writing in this article, it will help so many along their journey in the community.

Confluence + Jira are the greatest power couple since Lucy & Desi! It's the PB&J in my daily work sandwich.

It's amazing how Confluence is the team player every team needs to make sure that the team works. 

Watching @Mindy Park and @John Hooper now, registered for @Matt Reiner _K15t_'s webinar already. Gonna brew a cup of joe and get this party started! 

Popping my 🍿and filling my 🥤. I'm ready. Let's do this!

OK, I admit it. Confluence is my favorite Atlassian application. Premium Week is may favorite week of the year. I missed you last year, but I'm going to enjoy every moment you give me now that you're back!

Day 1 done ✅ Looking forward to the rest of the week!

My favorite movie or TV show is... The West Wing. The dialogue and drama is the best 8 seasons I have ever experienced. I can binge watch entire seasons if I didn't have to take care of basic life needs like eating, drinking and sleeping. And so, the award for the Best (Anti)Drama Confluence Premium Feature is... Inspect…

I'm blown away by the dedication and creativity of the Community Leaders and Members that have been hosting these events. It is a labor of love and their 💙💙 shows through in these sessions!

My all time favorites, in order, are: * Star Wars Prequels (must be listened to in order!) * Lord of the Rings (again, in order) * Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End * 1917 These scores have recently been on repeat for me too: * The Queen (all seasons) * 13 Hours * Avengers: Endgame * Oppenheimer The secret is to…

Signed up and excited to learn more! Loom is a tool I use daily, but I know I am only looking at the tip of the iceberg.

@Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_ I can't believe that I am NOT using folders YET. But thanks for this publish, it's the push I needed to get my admin cap on, enable them and start some autumnal cleaning in our spaces!

Power packed update. Thanks @Avinoam! 

One of the highlights of the start to any month. Miss seeing you in the video version though! Thanks for the compilation of amazing information.

Looking forward to reading the content from this new cohort, and hopefully meeting some of you at ACE and Atlassian events in the near future!

Thanks! This article gave me some ideas on how to approach the launch of Loom subscriptions at my company by leveraging existing training modules on Atlassian University for learn and earn sessions at the CUG.

Looking forward to @Matt Reiner _K15t_'s class on new Confluence Admin experiences!

@Dave LIAO I'm feeling pretty in adequate reading this. I have not tried to learn a new language for over (30) years. I actually met my wife during a free period I had in High School after dropping out of Spanish Class! Maybe that's what my mental block on learning languages comes from. But I also know that it would…

Congrats @Bryan Guffey on assuming this massive responsibility for the community!

I record at least one Loom every two days or so. Almost all of them are micro-updates for the teams that report to me, but the odd one is a macro update that is applicable to the broader group and organization. I have not yet started this play, but I am looking forward to implementing it for my direct reports so we can…

A very worthy winner! Great submission @Manon Soubies-Camy And another great submission with your acceptance speech! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/manonsoubiescamy_atlassiancreator-confluenceawards-activity-7257059359929552896-Fxls?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

Here is your meme! Just to be clear, I have nothing against IT. I just don't think that possessing IT skills means someone has Atlassian Admin skills.

@Vronik I'll pencil you in. Just need to prepare a HP meme first!

@Kelvin Harrington welcome to the Atlassian Community! Have you checked out the JSM courses on Atlassian University yet? Those are a great place to start gaining knowledge of how-to and how-not-to. Here's a great starter learning…

I find that listening to music with words or podcasts when working is more distracting than helpful. I am an avid YouTube Music user and I que up playlists of movie score music. I have 'listened' to more movies than I have watched, and some movie franchises are brought to life in my imagination by the musical score. I've…

In my experience, there are (6) key points to providing effective feedback * Separate the people from the problem. Unless, of course, the person IS the problem. * Don't make it personal, keep it professional. * Make it clear how critical the feedback being provided is to the role or responsibility of the individual. *…

@Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_ AND @Rodney Nissen _Work Wranglers_ _TJL_ I was not able to join due to the holiday of Succos, but I caught the replay on YouTube the next Saturday night. You were both brilliant hosts! Great job - hopefully this will drive even more registrations for the next #AYSTACA with @Robert…

Excellent job on the editing - and thank you for the English subtitles!

I had two starts (actually three) in the Atlassian Community. #1 was early days when the platform was Questions for Confluence and my company was on Confluence Server. I created an account and started searching for answers to common issues that would come up. I don't think I ever actively participated, I was just a passive…
