Gave a speech at the SEA Conference on Drury Campus . Bunch of great folks, who were so engaged and played wonderfully with my presentation. If you could work with people like this on a consistent basis you’d never feel like you were putting in work.
Giving a talk tomorrow night about how to react in this economy to Strategic Inflection Points that are facing us in the marketplace. But, instead of taking the point of view of what business should be doing to solve “What’s Next” in their world I am presenting my ideas from what YOU should do to answer what’s next.
The more time I spend working with companies the more I realize that companies don’t do jack! People, however do revolutionize our world and the marketplace with it. My talk will be aimed at people who can change themselves and the companies they decide to align themselves with.
The entire presentation will be online tonight or in the AM via my Slideshare
My four year old asked me for a scary story the other night, so I made up one about a gorilla that becomes a ghost after passing from a broken heart. His name was Ed, this is his tale. For effect, do your best Vincent Price voice toward the end.
It’s not really scary, not well written, and certainly not illustrated properly – but it made us laugh. Probably not worth a dedication, but since my Mama encouraged me to tell stories as a kid, and the Mother of my children encourages me still to tell stories to the kids – I wish them both Happy Mother’s Day! I’d be broken-hearted without you.
My Version of Homo Evolutis - completely original? NO?
Impossible as it may sound, here is a version of TED 2009 if you only had one hour to spark conversation and were recapping it to a creative bunch of people who wanted to hear about the highlights – but lacked the 4 days to recreate the event. By the way…I would have liked to discuss more and more of the content and the people that I met there but we’ll save those discussions as we move along through the year, and keep them personal and offline. Anymore content you need go to TED.com for the official skinny.
