Note from Beth: I’m working in Dubai this week and have lined up some guest posts from some colleagues.

I am completely overwhelmed by the positive, kind, touching things that so many community members have shared about the work we have all done together during my time with NetSquared and TechSoup Global over the last two and a half years.

Last year, when I released The Art of Relevance , people asked if there was an audiobook version in the works. It honestly hadn't crossed my mind. Since then, I've learned how many people read books with their ears instead of their eyes. I knew if I wanted to make the book relevant and accessible, I should get on it.

As I reflect on the trip, the course specifically, and the conversations students and staff had with me, I am reminded in many ways of the event I helped with a few years ago in Romania. Whether in my workshops in Romania or in Saudi (or in NYC), I’m often asking myself, “haven’t we had this conversation before?

For example, some of new Romanian friends wanted to contribute, but couldn't because Romania wasn't on the list of accepted credit cards. I think it works. I'm not sure exactly how it would work, but a simple message to the Cause administrator that someone has set up a birthday cause would be great.

I shared them with the caveat "these examples are very "American" so let's try to translate what may work or not." .
