Some days I feel like I'm on a crusade to teach people about Executive Functions. It really does help in personal life and the workplace. It's a positive journey, so I'm happy on this crusade. A bit of general info in my latest blog: www.meganstrant.com/how-educatin...

How educating clients about Executive Functions improves their daily life

I feel like I’ve been going on about Executive Functions for years. Probably because I have been a wee bit obsessed for quite a while. In fact it has been many years since I first did a confe…

Totes awks! #Microsoft365 #Copilot #Purview

Today's solution looking for a problem: hooked up Power BI to my #Ubiquiti network. As long as the items have some of naming convention in UniFi I can break things up into more visuals and graphs. Only works in desktop at this stage as the API isn't available to the web. #PowerBI #UniFi #BecauseICan

Dear Microsoft, when I open up "Microsoft 365 Copilot" (formerly the home screen of #Microsoft365) and press the Create button, images are not the first thing I want to see. The productivity app content should not be buried under "more". #Copilot #M365Copilot

Ah... #PowerBI... continuing to make errors when it comes to #OneDrive or #SharePoint

First, there was confusion between Copilot being for or in something. Now enters a new contender: OneNote *for* Windows vs OneNote *on* Windows.

I know that meetings in #MicrosoftTeams channels aren't perfect, but isn't it better to keep all the items together in context? Because realistically, a non-channel meeting is actually a group chat with voice & video. #PSA #StopGroupChats

For MVPs attending #MVPSummit this week, don't forget to keep www.letmecorrectthatforyou.com readily available just in case you need it while in a session. #MVPBuzz

Love these people so much, and am so appreciative of the opportunity to see them again! #MVPBuzz

Do any #PowerPlatform peeps know WTF is going on with the "Power Platform for Admins V2" connector? Documentation is light on (no surprise), but also the "Get App as Admin" fails, but there doesn't appear to be much discussion I can find about how to make it work.

Microsoft Teams combined Chats & Channels has been arriving in organisations after becoming generally available at the end of February. Top lesson learned? Focus on filters. youtu.be/ncbicr6YXIQ

Are you a #MicrosoftMVP who is attending Summit in-person this year? #MVPbuzz Would you like to know who else is coming from your category and/or country, or just in general? Well, now there's (kind of) a way, and it's entirely opt-in. However, as some may consider it private information... 1/2
