@Kim Gaskill thank you!

@Keisha Armstrong This! Exactly! Too often we dismiss our ideas because “it already exists.” But true creativity isn’t always about inventing something brand new—it’s about reimagining what’s there and delivering it in a different, more meaningful way. That’s innovation too.

A couple of years ago, I came across the phrase “progress over perfection”—and it completely changed how I approach things. Too often, we get stuck chasing “perfect” and end up never launching at all. Your clip is such a great reminder to keep moving forward, even when things aren’t perfect. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, First, thank you @Noelle Russell for creating this community, and thanks to @Padmini Soni for introducing me to it. I’m a higher-Ed technology professional specializing in IT, Data Analytics, and Application Development. I’m particularly excited about the role AI can play in shaping the future of higher education—especially in the face of tight budgets and growing demands. My goal is to advance AI literacy in higher ed, helping faculty, staff, and students not only gain access to these tools but also use them to streamline processes and move beyond legacy systems that often hold institutions back. I look forward to learning from this community and contributing where I can. Best, Drashti
