Pros: One understands the intent of the software. It is to help one another. I really like the opportunity to connect with people in this way, to examine a challenge that some one else may have and try to hash out a solution.

Comments: As a training professional, I get great ideas on activities and materials to use in my sessions

Pros: I reach out to the Givitas community whenever I get stuck on finding the information I need from my direct contacts or from Google. I am always pleasantly surprised that there is always someone who has what I am looking for, or who can direct me to a place where I can find it. It is also great that all requests usually receive at least one response, which means that all participants are committed to helping without expecting anything in return, but the assurance that what they ask for eventually will also get answered.
