two good presentations

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.10.25

Today I was slated to attend three presentations. That's too much in a single day, and I dropped the lunch time show in favour of the 07:30 and 18:45 events. The first was on risk management, and it's inspired me to turn my recent studies of risk management, at last, into a website so that I can share something of what I've learned. The second was on leadership. The speaker was brilliant. Rather than prescribe activities, he prescribed qualities. Which were:

1. Thinking of others

2. Curiosity

3. Enthusiasm

4. Attention to body language & "brand"

5. Authenticity

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
