Leilani Garrett's Linkedin Analytics

I'm a writer, having loved words for as long as I can remember. I learned them wherever and whenever I could, jotting down new ones and looking them up in my fat, desktop Webster's dictionary. Then I would use them in sentences to lock them down in my brain for the long haul. Still, when IBM called during my final year of college, I said yes! Where I'm from you don't walk away from that kind of offer. My goal was to succeed in tech sales while finding avenues to continue writing. It wasn't easy because the focus was on metrics, pipeline and quota. Still, I found a way to put pen to page whenever I could. That said, my decades of experience contributing revenue to some of the world's most lauded technology companies has been a godsend. As a result, I love technology! *The mysteries around how it works known only to the deep tech nerds (much respect!) *The ability to infiltrate our lives with such dominance. *The impact it has, can have and will have on our ultimate existence. And I love to write about it. Not in the usual, stiff, bits and bytes way. Rather in ways that illuminate the value of the tech by building a narrative that engages the reader and promotes deeper understanding. I'm proud to say some of the world's most respected tech firms (including IBM, Microsoft and LinkedIn) have engaged me to weave stories that inspired their prospects and customers along the way. Our small, but mighty, team of experienced writers can do the same for your organization. While our work is a way for us to grow and thrive, it's only a piece of the journey. Life is the thing that carries us from our inception to the next adventure, whatever that might be. In Life, my intention is to SEE my fellow human beings. To offer them my humanness and to fully embrace theirs. Bottom line here is, we are all "in it together." Thanks to LinkedIn for that tagline! No human being is an island, regardless of wealth, social or political status, ethnicity, skin color, gender identity or sexual orientation. We are ALL simply human, and we should act accordingly. Treating each other with grace, empathy, and care.
