Age of Conversation Revisited

Many of my wonderful American friends are celebrating Thanksgiving, a time when friends and family come together, much like a project that I contributed to earlier in the year.
The Age of Conversation was a book that 103 authors gave their time and content free of charge to create a wonderful book that has raised over $11,000 raised for Variety the Children's Charity. Fantastic...and tribute should be paid to Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton for all their hard work.

We all want to raise even more money for charity - and therefore some news

As of November 30th...

  • The hard cover version of the book will be discontinued.  (You can still buy it in bulk)
  • The paperback version of the book will no longer be available directly through Lulu.com (again, can still be bought in bulk)
  • The e-book will remain on Lulu.com for the same price

All of that makes way for:

The paperback version will appear on Amazon and other book sellers throughout the world.  (at an increased price to cover the book sellers' commissions.)

If you want a great book and also help to raise more money for charity then consider Age of Conversation both for yourself and even a present for Xmas! The list of authors is impressive

Social Media is to business, as a canvas was to Picasso! Look you have been reading this blog for a while, you know my train of thought is odd! Today, I was thinking about branding and what we can learn from Picasso. Think of it....Picasso was a huge brand with many followers...so how did he create a world wide brand that continues to have brand evangelists even after his death. P= Paint a vision of what you are seeing in your mind so that others can see what you are thinking. I = It is not the medium that is important it is how you portray it, with your values...your character. C =Create a premium through talent. Picasso once charged 100's of pounds for a quick sketch of a dog..the lady complained and said it only took you 5 minutes...Picasso said 'No, that took me a lifetime to create' A= A canvas was needed to show the world. Ideas are great but unless you find a way to share the idea then no one will see it, no one will buy into it...social media is to business as a canvas was to Picasso! S= Strong definition of your style differentiates you from others...you may lose some potential followers but the ones who love your work will evangelise about it. S= Spot other talent than yourself...and cherish it. Picasso collected other artists like Matisse...he didn't ignore the competition he bought it! O= Only through the brush, the paint, the canvas, the easel coming together with Picasso was the painting born. No matter how talented you always need a diverse set of resources around you to bring the dream alive

Learning, the Roosevelt Way As many of you know, I love the sayings of Eleanor Roosevelt. I have just been reading You Learn by Living and here are some quotes to inspire the week ahead A leader must not get too far ahead or he will outdistance his followers; but he must move at least a step ahead. There is no human being from whom we cannot learn something if we are interested enough to dig deep. We can grow only as long as we are interested We cannot say "Nothing has changed," or "The old ways are best." The point is that the old conditions are gone and we are left confronting the new. Human relationships, like life itself, can never remain static. They grow or they diminish. Since everybody is an individual, nobody can be you. You are unique. No one can tell you how to use your time.It is yours.Your life is your own.You mold it.You make it. As I always say, for everything that changes...such a lot stays the same...these quotes are from 1960, almost 50 years ago..but as relevant now as they were then.
