I had real-time conversations about Libya, liquor (and European trade shows), and CommentLuv the other day without leaving my desk or picking up a phone. Mickey Mouse and Gumby too.
Maybe it was the randomness of the topics. Or the serendipity of the connections. Or the fact that I can today talk so easily with people scattered from Tripoli to The Big Easy.
Heck, we all can.
Usually I take this immediacy for granted. But every now and then I have to catch my breath. It really is pretty remarkable how all of this is changing the way we can see, hear, touch, and understand our world.
Would you agree?

Why do workshifters “dare to be different”? And what implications might this have for innovation across the business landscape? For today’s food for thought, read my inaugural post for Workshifting.com.
And thanks to Justin Levy for inviting me to become a regulator contributor. I’m excited to be joining A.J. Leon, Melissa Leon, and the rest of the stellar Workshifting crew.

My latest IABC Independent Thinking business column is out, and the focus is on how we see ourselves and the shifting terminologies that we use to define ourselves and our businesses and the way we want our clients, customers and prospects to think of us.
There were several takeaways, but the real constant is that how you identify yourself may matter a great deal to someone else. So select your terminology with deliberation, recognize that perceptions differ, and be comfortable with your place in the business continuum.
Some really smart people weighed in on this topic, and it’s well worth the read. So go ahead, read it, and then tell me what term you use and why.
