Essential PDF Requirements for Learning

Why do you need to know about the essential PDF requirements for learning? COVID-19 is affecting most major institutions and causing economic and supply chain upheaval. Almost every planned gathering has been cancelled or postponed to promote social distancing. The education industry is facing similar disruption. Many colleges are extending spring break, delaying classes, or cancelling the semester.

These changes are going to impact the way classes are taught, as many schools are switching to online learning to keep classes from being canceled. If you’re preparing to become an online student, you’ll want to make one tool a part of any plan for the coming months: a PDF reader.

Not all readers are created equal, and picking the right tool for yourself can make all the difference. We’re going to break down four key functions your PDF reader needs to perform to ensure a good e-learning experience. Continue reading “Essential PDF Requirements for Learning”

Start The 2020’s The S.M.A.R.T. Way!

The 2010’s are in the books, and it’s time to start thinking about how we can make the next decade even more successful than the last one!

A popular goal-setting technique is to set SMART Goals. What are S.M.A.R.T. goals? They are goals that are:

Specific–goals should have clear objectives for you and your team to strive for.
Measurable–to gauge the success of your team, there should be qualitative metrics.
Achievable–goals need to be reasonable, or else they will seem too far-fetched to even be attempted.
Relevant–clear, reasonable, and measurable goals mean nothing if they don’t serve to accomplish a specific business objective that will advance you, your team, and your organization.
Time-bound–deadlines are crucial because they hold you and your team accountable, and give you a chance to set new goals based on performance.

Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs: Visionary Leaders that Translate Ideas into Reality

November is one of our favorite times of the year at Kdan. It’s a month-long celebration of entrepreneurship, that culminates with #globalentrepreneurshipweek from Monday the 18th to Friday the 22nd.

Our U.S. Team had a unique opportunity to partner with two organizations that are dedicated to promoting entrepreneurship, the Juniata Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (JCEL) and Startup Alleghenies, to host a mini-series of events this month that share experiences and start conversations about starting a business. It was useful to learn about some top LLC companies and the best LLC services that will help with starting a business as well.

One of the big ideas discussed in both events is that you don’t have to be self-employed to be considered “entrepreneurial.” Intrapreneurs, or entrepreneurial people within an organization, are valuable assets to any team. We want to share some highlights from the two sessions and how these concepts relate to your career path, whether it’s for your own company or the one you’re working for!
