Across a plethora of industries, we are all united by one commonly held belief: conference calls are an immensely valuable tool. But there are fields which have to operate with a certain degree of caution when it comes to telecommunication. If you’re dealing with highly sensitive, confidential information which can have the power to completely alter a case – indeed, a life – then you can’t play fast and loose with how you communicate.

Generally, phones and education aren’t too closely paired in our minds. In fact, there are even debates raging about whether mobiles should be altogether banned from schools, as some teachers feel they introduce too much distraction and even potential conflict into the classroom.

You may have seen in the news this week that the Turkish government has been tackling some serious monetary issues. Turkey’s currency, the lira, has been falling dramatically and is reportedly almost 6% weaker for the session and has lost almost a third of its value since January, sparking concerns of a full-blown currency crisis.
It comes amidst economic sanctioning issues by the USA in response to the Turkish government’s refusal to free an American pastor who has been detained in Turkey for nearly two years, due to his suspected association with illegal political organisations.

Maybe we’ve just spent a little too much of our spare time scrolling through social media (it’s been too hot for activities!), but here at Call Collective, we’re getting seriously on board with the idea that seemingly trivial details can reveal deep truths about us. Whilst we won’t go as far as basing anything on astrology, or on which ingredients you’d use to build a smoothie bowl, we do think your favourite teleconferencing tool can actually be a great indicator of how we’re best suited to learning and working. In the wake of that personality quiz scandal, the one which just keeps getting worse, we’ll steer well clear of presenting this as anything which requires you to input selections or personal details. Just scroll down to see what your chosen feature, all of which are provided on our Call.Group service, says about you!

Anybody who has ever had a hand in (or even a window into) running a business knows that there are a lot of plates to keep spinning. To complicate matters, each of these spinning plates could be said to be moving of its own accord, constantly shifting as our priorities change and as each project develops. It can be difficult to constantly assess what our next steps should be, and what the best approach is when tackling different areas of business, whether it’s marketing, budgeting, or interpersonal relationships in the office.
