Becoming a Master

MCM-brand

I just spent one of the longest three weeks of my life getting certified for Lync Masters.  It was long by two fold: the day to day grind of 12+ hour days (this isn’t a 5 day work week…) focusing on nothing but Lync and then the three weeks away from my family.  It was a great feeling that I came back on top!

I want to give a special shout out to my study group and fellow Masters (yes we were 100% in our group): Jeroen Reijling and Luke Kannel.  These guys are at the top of their game.  Also great on going conversations/contributions with the rest of Rotation 15.  It was definitely a team effort.

If you are thinking about Lync Masters, I will give you one piece of advice: do not come to class without being at least familiar with all the features of Lync.  This includes Enterprise Voice, Response Groups, CAC, Exchange UM, and even Group Chat.  Do not expect to learn them on the spot.  Also some bonus advice…do not come to Masters without first tying up loose ends with your company, projects, and family.  Distractions will be your downfall.

Here are a couple of good blog posts that I referred to during the process: Blog1 and Blog2.

Again, a big thanks to my family, study group, and my company Azaleos (as well as my colleague Chris Cook who held down the fort while I was gone) for allowing me the opportunity.

  3. Greetings to all who have also turned to this wonderful site for help, as I did. After some time of using this site called essaypro I decided to make a review and express my opinion about the services provided by the site. I ordered an essay here. I registered quickly, contacted the staff and left my order. Everything happened very quickly, which of course pleasantly surprised me. The cost of services is very low, and the quality of the service is awesome.

  5. Hi...
    Becoming a master at anything in life takes time. According to Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers, it takes 10,000 hours to achieve mastery. That means if you want to master anything at all, you need to put in the hours. You need to put in hours and hours and hours of practice.
