I started to add a daily coping tip to the SQLServerCentral newsletter and to the Community Circle, which is helping me deal with the issues in the world. I’m adding my responses for each day here. All my coping tips are under this tag.
Today’s tip is to show your appreciation to people who are helping others.
I want to show my appreciation two people that are trying to make the world better. Ben Weissman and William Durkin are a part of the SQL Community and they are working hard to help other people in many ways.
They have the New Stars of Data coming this fall, along with DataMinutes. They’ve run DataiVerse as well, and host the annual DataGrillen, where I was lucky enough to attend this year.
They also built a speaker improvement library, trying to ensure we can train a new generation of speakers at a high level.
These two gentlemen have made an incredible impact on our community, always willing to help and support others, and come up with new ideas that make our community better.
I would urge you to send a note to them today, letting them know you appreciate their efforts.
