10:21:00 >> From  Amy Westbrook : I Live by Onenote

10:21:19 >> From  Angelo Pancho : @Marvin -Do you copy & paste (or export) the content from Talent Insights to OneNote tabs for the Battlecards?  Also, are you syncing your OneNote to a MS Teams Channel?

10:24:35 >> From  Amy Westbrook : Yes

10:24:43 >> From  Brandon Barber : Yes

10:28:44 >> From  Marvin Smith : @Angelo In the case of the insights I displayed came from SeekOut.  I have not tried to export from LinkedIn Insights.  Do you do that?

10:30:00 >> From  David Marr : Spreadsheets

10:30:06 >> From  Kim Joyce : We use Smart Sheet

10:30:09 >> From  Lori Davis : Trello

10:30:58 >> From  Kim Joyce : Avature is good for making a people list too

10:31:18 >> From  Sean Hanna : Talentwall.io we use is a combo of dashboard and Trello to show status by req/job

10:31:51 >> From  Le Nguyen : Another way to share information is use your Contacts. Your contacts do not need to be real people, but can be subjects. The notes section allows for attachments. So it’s an easy way to share spreadsheets, pdfs, links or texts

10:33:09 >> From  Angelo Pancho : @Marvin -Yes, it’s a simple export from LI Talent Insights…it’s a .pdf report.  I haven’t added the .pdfs to OneNote yet, but I will start doing it.

10:40:12 >> From  Brad Mumpower : @Catherine LI Learning has some great Excel courses, with first month free. Pluralsight is also a good option (if you work in tech, sometimes Engineering departments have extra seats so check with that dept first to avoid cost).

10:40:46 >> From  Sean Rehder : Yes, LinkedIn learning is good…Udemy is good too

10:41:06 >> From  Mike Haley   to   All panelists : any other one note best practices?
