As we put together the Global Hug Tour, we realize just how important it is to have the right tools. From the right clothing to the right technology, tools can make your job impossible – or a breeze.

We recently discovered a cool new online tool from Symantec, called GoEverywhere. Our entire team has registered for an account because it’s so convenient to use.  GoEverywhere is considered a “webtop” – it’s like having your desktop on the web so you can access your files from any web-enabled device. And with the amount that we travel, this is very convenient!

It takes a little set up to get started but it’s so worth it.  I don’t have to remember all my passwords for my web software – programs like Amazon, Linkedin, Facebook.  I sign in once to my GoEverywhere account and I can quickly toggle between the different programs without signing in to each one separately.  Seem like a small thing?  It’s not!  I’ve been amazed at the time I’ve saved.

It’s early days yet – GoEverywhere is in beta – and I love that Symantec is reaching out to the community of users to get feedback.  I’ve always wanted to be able to tell corporations what to create for me to make my life easier – and now I can.

We’re continually on the lookout for tools that will simplify, streamline and support our efforts to make the Global Hug Tour an incredible success.  I’ll share more ideas as we find them and I appreciate you sending in your ideas too.  The whole idea of the Global Hug Tour is that we can inspire each other and really make a difference in the world.  I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

More than anything, thank you for your help. We greatly appreciate your support!

Hugs,

The Global Hug Tour Team
