| Orla @orlatheot #OTalk I am inspired by @theRCOT to say we should keep finding ways to help people live not exist https://t.co/0YcqVdRDFa |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Debraj_OT Definitely agree! #otalk |

| Candace Plouffe @CandacePlouffe @SuzanneRastrick @Kirstie_OT @OTalk_ Role emerging placements & building confidence in OTs to think and look wider than traditional roles is the future for the profession #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @BethjmOT: |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SophieMaynard8 @OTalk_ @Kirstie_OT Always- feel bummed that my next visit to you guys is 2019... lol! #otalk |
| Beth Reid @beth_reid105 @Kirstie_OT @OTalk_ you will make a huge impact on people, when they say positive things about you write them down and save them! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @Kirstie_OT @OTalk_ Same tip like when you go to restaurants- not a bad idea to ask for samplers if you don’t know you can take on full. #otalk |
| Beth Reid @beth_reid105 @Kirstie_OT @OTalk_ then you can look at them on the days that are a little more... challenging! 💚 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @Kirstie_OT @OTalk_ I think we have to try smarter, not harder. Offline and online avenues should be considered. #otalk |
