It was a pleasure to hear your presentation with Gil at the Social media seminar last week. I certainly didn’t know what to expect but I was delighted by the very indepth information you gave about LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Blogging. It was not only very helpful but also presented in an interactive, fun and inspiring way.
Thank you,
Asa

We inspired the desire, provided a conceptual framework, created some options and easy wins, suggested next steps, answered their questions, gained commitment… and then we got out of their way!

Re: Weak in the knees: One thing that got *me* was seeing all those very talented, experienced people in one room, many of them recently shed from the big companies that had been employing them for years or decades. For the past 18 months working with people on the front lines of this global financial crisis (sometimes the survivors, sometimes the soon-to-be-let-go), it’s always been humbling to realize how behind all the big corporate brands (or even “personal brands”) , we’re all just people, doing the best we can as individuals, swimming with the currents and trying to achieve our goals, feed our families, put our kids through school, etc. etc. There, now I’ve gone sappy on you, Stephen. How’s that for your nausea?
