During my tenure leading Corporate Marketing at Highfive, the first company that introduced #WebRTC cloud-based #videoconferencing, we found ourselves in direct competition with Zoom. From my perspective, having hands-on experience with a variety of platforms like Zoom, Webex, GoTo Meeting, Skype for Business & Microsoft Teams), and Google Meet, Highfive at the time delivered a more elegant and user-friendly experience. However, what Highfive didn’t offer was something that Zoom did—“a freemium model," coupled with the ability to scale globally almost overnight, particularly in the education vertical—which would come into play during the pandemic. I vividly recall March 16, 2020. I was sitting in Highfive CEO Joe Manuele’s office when we decided to shut down the office and send everyone home due to the escalating COVID-19 outbreak. At that moment, it felt like the end of an era for Highfive. Fast forward to today, and it’s clear that Zoom has emerged as the definitive leader in the video conferencing space. Reading Zoom’s announcement on LinkedIn, I’m reminded of something analyst Dave Michels said to me years ago: “Zoom’s secret sauce is their ability to move quickly.” And once again, Dave hits the nail on the head. With Zoom's latest announcement—offering the capability to host up to 1 million attendees in a single webinar—it begs the question: Is it game over for competing webinar solutions like Adobe Connect, GoToWebinar, Webex Webinars, ON24, and BrightTALK? I’m curious to hear what Dave and other leading analysts Zeus Kerravala, Roopam Jain, Denise Lund, and Jim Lundy have to say? Zoom’s relentless pace of innovation and adaptation has kept it at the forefront of the industry, continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in UC&C (and now #AI-based #ContactCenter and #RevenueIntelligence). As we look ahead, the question isn’t just whether other platforms can keep up Zoom's pace of innovation—but whether they can even compete long term. Zoom’s partnership with Anthropic, bolstered by the recent announcement of OpenAI co-founder John Schulman joining the Anthropic team, may have just put Zoom in the proverbial catbird's seat. I have to believe the Anthropic-Zoom partnership will only accelerate Zoom's future innovations. Amazing work, Eric S. Yuan (he / him / his)!

Had an absolute blast leading the Salary Negotiation 101 masterclass for The Color Connect last week! I dropped some serious gems from my 15-year career in corporate—and trust me, there was A LOT to discuss. Here’s the key: ASK! Ask for more money. Ask for a signing bonus. Ask for more PTO. Ask for that later start date. You WILL get more when you simply ask for what you want. Will they always say yes? Nope. But if you don’t ask, the answer is 100% no. So why not take your shot? Let me tell you—negotiation skills are a game changer. Not just for securing a higher salary, but for showing up confidently in every area of your life. It’s about owning your worth and setting yourself up for success, personally and professionally. If you KNOW you need help asking for what you’re worth, send a DM to get some 1:1 time with me and I’ll share everything I know. Big thanks to Mia Williams & The Colors of Her Success for having me!

Zoom has the fastest pace of innovation I've ever seen. Hence, the market for extremely large one-time webinars is satisfied less than 3.5 weeks after the need was identified when the "White Women: Answer The Call! Show up for Kamala Harris" fundraiser put Zoom's capacity to the test. I love living in the future, especially since I'm a Zoomie. #zoominnovation #zoomwebinars #zoomielife
