A1.
As much as I’ve loved the ones focused on social and strategy (they’ve made me so much better at my job!), my real favorites were ones focused on balance, stress relief, time management, and gratitude. #bufferchat pic.twitter.com/bliSbcDWBs

A1: My favorite #bufferchat topic has been the year in reviews. Because it allows me to reflect on the accomplishments and goals that I have completed over the year and plan new goals for next year.

— Arielle Tannenbaum (@ariellemargot) June 13, 2018
A6: it brought me out of my professional shell! Utilizing #bufferchat showed me that my marketing opinions are valid and good ideas. I was in a weird place personally and professionally, and was v unsure of my ideas. Bufferchat literally made me feel validated as a marketer!
— Lauren Blake (@_lblake) June 13, 2018
A6: The back-and-forths between peers and the amazing folks from @buffer. Sharing ideas, tips, jokes-that-became-inside-jokes, virtual hugs….now I’m crying ???#BufferChat
