  • A comment on Talk: Ian Goldin: Navigating our global future

    Oct 26 2009: I recently came across this post on Kevin Roberts' blog from the World Business Forum that seemed relevant to this talk:

    Bill Clinton%u2019s star power was evident, as thinker, performer, storyteller and man of action. His framework for seeing the world is interdependence, not globalization. The three persistent challenges he framed were inequality, instability, and sustainability. The President closed it out this way: %u201CWe have to find a world where we can all win, otherwise, none of us will.

    A comment on Talk: John Gerzema: The post-crisis consumer

    Oct 24 2009: This talk grabbed my interest at the 5:35 mark, where it became more relevant to me as part of the global audience. Although it was obviously aimed at Americans, there are global trends that are interesting to other parts of the world.

    I love the thought that the people (rather than corporates) are taking control of our world and I believe the corporates that embrace and work with its community of stakeholders will create symbiotic relationships that benefit everyone!
  • A comment on Talk: Chimamanda Adichie: The danger of a single story

    Oct 22 2009: Thank you for sharing your story. I enjoyed the carefully crafted words. I believe that as we understand and learn, explore and question our stories become richer and more meaningful.

    A comment on Talk: Rory Sutherland: Life lessons from an ad man

    Oct 17 2009: Humour is a great way to convey messages & Rory used the best of British humour that made the message even more effective.

    The new economy belongs to the new thinkers - but I guess it always has!

    A comment on Talk: Julian Treasure: The 4 ways sound affects us

    Oct 16 2009: Loved the talk & the roller coaster of feelings it generated inside me. The stats were persuasive.

    Maybe that's why I love my Ipod so much... it connects me with the music I love!
