This week, I shared with Vanessa that during my time offline for the holidays, I found myself reflecting on just how many different frustrations I feel people in this sector have voiced over 2010 – to the point that I, honestly, feel really overwhelmed by the “sick and tired&# state of nptechers world wide.

Amy Sample Ward — CEO, NTEN. Voice over IP phones are probably the most important (and least utilized) technology for that purpose. And when you're offline, you have access to all the Box documents because the documents cache offline." We currently use Google Voice for this. Have a plan, of course!

Even if someone posts something negative or critical, assume they are coming from a good place, agree with and support your mission and view of a better world, and are voicing a concern that may be felt by others; take a breath and then reread their comment without taking it personally.

Lesson #1: Voice. “Social media is a storytelling tool, it’s let voices effected by climate change be heard around the world&# (@ amysampleward ).

Can we take that topic offline and talk about that outside of the Board meeting?” Inviting a guest speaker can invigorate your Board members and introduce new ideas from a new voice that may resonate with them. Interrupt if you have to. David, we’re going to go ahead and move on because time is short, and we have a lot to cover.”

The climate change movement has shown a lot of focus on helping people effected by climate change (everyone) share their story, voice their concerns. We need to couple real voices, with real opportunities to take action and get involved. This is a great example of providing a real, authentic voice to a global issue.
