Reflection: The thing about being overlooked is this…

💭 People will underestimate you, undervalue you, and overlook you…until the day they can’t anymore.

And when that day comes, make sure you’re not standing at their feet hoping for their validation.

💡I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again; probably forever:

Your power lives in your ability to believe in yourself when no one else does.

And since it is Thanksgiving, I want to be honest while keeping gratitude at the center:

It’s not always easy to be thankful for the lessons that come wrapped in dismissal, rejection, or being underestimated.

📍Just this week, I had a conversation where someone completely dismissed and undermined me. Later, someone encouraged me to confront it; but all I could say was: “Hang on. I’m tired. I need a moment.”

Because advocating for yourself isn’t always easy. It’s draining. It’s emotional labor. It’s work.

But, here’s the part I am thankful for today:
The resilience to pause.
The strength to gather myself.
The gratitude for those who uplift.
And the courage to get back in there.

And even when people don’t see you, respect you, or understand you; do the work anyway. Stay committed to your growth, your evolution, your standard. Your consistency will speak long before some people ever choose to listen.

You are, now and always, your greatest champion. Give yourself grace. Hold gratitude for how far you’ve come. Appreciate those who do believe in you and root for you.

And remember:
The world may not see your value immediately… but that doesn’t dim your light. It just means they’re late.

This Thanksgiving: 🍁 
Here’s to honoring ourselves, and doing the work; whether anyone is watching or not.

Quinnie W. Collins

I keep noticing a pattern on LinkedIn.

People often begin a post with statements like:

“I don’t like to humblebrag, but”
“I never talk about this”
“I don’t usually share things like this”

And then they immediately share the exact thing they claim not to talk about.

💡The interesting part is not the contradiction itself. It is what it reveals about how we communicate online. These disclaimers are less about the content being shared and more about the fear of being perceived negatively.

In professional spaces, visibility matters. 

But, many people still worry about how their intentions will be interpreted. 

For example:
“I am not trying to brag.”
“I do not want to seem self-promotional.”
“I hope this is received the right way.”

Sharing an achievement does not automatically signal arrogance. So, here is a thought. 

What if we normalized simply sharing without the preemptive disclaimer?

👉🏿Sharing wins is not bragging.
👉🏿Sharing growth is not attention seeking.
👉🏿Sharing milestones is not arrogance.

It is communication. It is connection. And often, it is exactly the story someone else may need to hear.

Something for you to think about…

Can you tell I ‘make sheet happen’? 😌

POV: it’s been a month since you and Microsoft Excel’s birthday and you’re still both Libra baddies that have been “making sheet happen” since birth. *clock iiiiitttt* 🤏🏿😝

Currently at the Excel World Championship, and ICYMI, this esports competition is where top spreadsheet pros from around the world race to solve complex #MicrosoftExcel challenges live. 

Competitors build models, tackle logic puzzles, and use advanced formulas in a fast, high-energy format that’s surprisingly fun to watch.

#theBOLDjourney

At some point, you’ll be told putting yourself out there is cringe, it’s very important you keep going…

2018: how’re your little LinkedIn posts doing?

2025: IDK, but I just interviewed the LinkedIn CEO live on stage at the largest Microsoft event of the year (20K people in person, 250K+ people online)…

Exciting news y’all! 🤏🏿🙂‍↕️

OpenAI just released GPT-5.2, and it’s already rolling into the Microsoft ecosystem.

What makes this release interesting isn’t just the model, but where it shows up. The tools many of us use every day just got smarter.

GPT-5.2 comes in a few flavors. (we love to see it 🔥)

A fast option for everyday tasks, a deeper “thinking” version for longer documents, reasoning, coding, and data work, and a higher-accuracy option for more complex use cases. Most of the time, the tools pick the right one for you.

Under the hood, GPT-5.2 is better with long context, tougher problems, multi-step planning, and large codebases. Translation: less friction and more getting to real answers.

You’ll see this across Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Foundry.

Read more: https://lnkd.in/gg--DZZ7

Quick clarity moment for those who mix up “GPT and ChatGPT”. Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT are different products, but they both use GPT. GPT is the brain. The tools are just where you interact with that brain. 

In a wrap on what’s new and why 5.2? 

The bigger shift here is AI is becoming even “more useful” at work. And that’s the part worth paying attention to. 

Ugh yes, we love a release moment!! Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments below 👇🏿

#MicrosoftLife

I never thought I’d say this, but I just experienced one of the coolest things and it’s also probably the nerdiest things ever.

The Microsoft Excel World Championships just ended. We watched the pros compete in an intense competition with eliminations every 5 minutes (check out the video clip).

Y’all — when I tell you my teeth were clenched with anticipation 😬…

It’s really something you have to experience for yourself. I cannot explain truly what it’s like watching competitors build models, tackle logic puzzles, and use advanced formulas in a fast, high-energy format; it was surprisingly fun to watch.

Want to learn more about the Excel World Championships? https://excel-esports.com/ and follow @Excel and @Microsoft365.

Social media changed my life; not because of what I posted, but because of what people told me my posts did for them.

Sharing honestly and consistently taught me something unexpected: content isn’t one-way. The feedback reshaped how I see social media, how I communicate, and ultimately how I market.

It made me a better listener, creator, and #marketer.

Here’s why:

1. Feedback revealed my real strengths. I stopped guessing what worked and focused on what actually resonated; shaping how I think about and drive strategy for demand-gen, events, and creator programs.

2. Consistency forced clarity. Showing up regularly sharpened my message, positioning, and voice; the same fundamentals behind effective marketing, brand strategy and communication.

3. Impact built confidence. Creating to help and provide value to others as well as connect, and not to seek approval, leads to clearer and more authentic marketing.

After 10+ years of creating online (10 on LinkedIn and even more when we add Facebook lol), I’ve learned this: social media isn’t just a publishing tool. It’s a feedback loop, a mirror, and a teacher; and to be honest, it made me better at what I do.
