Hi, I'm Darrell as a Service, at your service. I am an independent consultant, helping organizations make the most of Microsoft 365. I blog and create videos and courses at Modern Work Mentor. I'm also co-host The 365 Message Center Show with Daniel Glenn, to help prepare organisations for changes coming on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap.
I like to help people tell their stories about work, life and the balance in between. I have a keen interest in mobile videography and live streaming.
In recognition of my contributions to the Microsoft 365 community, I have received a Microsoft MVP award since 2013.
