    If I could become an instant expert in one thing, it would be Smartsheet solutioning. It would be an invaluable skill, particularly in my current role. I'm tasked with migrating many processes for other areas into Smartsheet and often the learning curve is too steep. There are so many things that I know can be done, I just don't know how to do it…YET.

  • If you could become an instant expert in one topic, what would it be?

    Cooking and Nutrition. With our current society focusing more on health and wellness, I'd like to become an expert. Food is more than just fuel for the body, but also for the mind which leads to overall wellness. I enjoy making simple no-nonsense food that provides my body and mind with what it needs to be successful. Certain foods can even promote my ability to learn and become more proficient in Smartsheet!

    Languages would be my pick too, i am starting to work on speaking Spanish, and I am determined to be fluent by the end of 2025.

  • If I could become an instant expert in one topic it would be anthropology. I would love to have studied humanity and the many different cultures and languages followed closely by always dreamt of being a third grade teacher.

    Echoing others, I would love to be an immediate expert in all world languages to make world travel easier and more rewarding.

    There are many things I would like to learn in the blink of an eye (like in the movie Matrix), but probably the most useful would be 1) be an expert in communication and 2) be an expert in coding !

    Interesting question, for me it would be health and nutrition. I am constantly learning and most times it seems like too late about what I shpould and should not eat. To be an expert at it would prolong life and make life healthier which makes it the most important outcome of all the different options I could choose.

    How to ensure the entire world quickly obtains world peace. Straight to the right answer! Yep, I know this was intended for IT topics but if there is some magic genie behind it all, I want to be sure someone said it.

    There is no wrong answer to this one, and so many good answers. I would say:

    1. Communication (written AND verbal)
    2. All things Smartsheet (I have my core certification, but have so much more to learn!)
    3. Memory retention. I read and study, but retaining that knowledge is often difficult. Can someone wave a magic wand and give me a photographic memory.

    I would be an expert of Marine Life. I feel like there are so much ocean facts that we do not know and considering water occupies most of Earth's face, we need to learn and know how to "work" together. And also I just love the ocean :)

    If you could become an instant expert in one topic, what would it be?

    I would want to become an expert in photography. I take pictures as a hobby, but I am far from being an expert at it. I don't know how to use a "Flash" or some of the advanced editing features. I try to take the picture that I want right from the start, but know that it could be SOOO much more.

    oh an expert or maybe a way that I could focus more of my time on would be animal care and raising a farm that would be so peaceful and enjoyable! Nothing to technical more personal enjoyment 😍😊

    If I could become an instant expert in one topic, it would be Medicine. I've dreamed of being a doctor since I was a child, likely because of the challenges I faced both mentally and physically growing up. The thought of changing someone’s life for the better—helping them improve their health and live their best life—feels incredibly meaningful to me.

    Unfortunately, becoming a doctor wasn’t in the cards for me, and I’ve come to terms with that. But I strive to make a positive impact every day, brightening someone’s day whenever I can.

    I always tell my spouse: if we win the lottery, I’m going to med school—no matter how old I am.
