  1. @gawed I think (pre SM) that Napoleon said leadership is via the eyes. No way to over-estimate power of appropriately used eye contact.
  2. @nilofer @competia @carolynbuckluce @bethcomstock @dtapscott Don T is da man!
  3. @medtopicwriter @amyshoultzphd Is it okay to say: You go girl!!!!
  4. @gawed Pretty much, but that's definitely not something I recommend.
  5. @gawed YO works for me :-)
  6. @milguy23 @greenwichhp @paul_gerrard @wellsprings1 Disagree. Me: End game per se meaningless. Have something trying to do. Will die trying.
  7. @milguy23 @paul_gerrard @Wellsprings1 @greenwichhp I love minimalism--i.e., a minimum of 6 hours for a speech-seminar.
  8. @milguy23 @GreenwichHP @paul_gerrard @Wellsprings1 Content #1. Bedrock: Got to be absurdly knowledgeable-enthusiastic about SOMETHING.
  9. @gawed Clearly both. Helped by the garrulous mother gene--"polished" by 2,500-3,000 speeches.
  10. @GreenwichHP @milguy23 @paul_gerrard @Wellsprings1 Wow content + Assiduous relationship development + Thoughtfulness + Relentlessness.
  11. @milguy23 @paul_gerrard @Wellsprings1 @greenwichhp Disagree. You will get outed for content-less-ness, probably sooner rather than later.
  12. @TheGoodBeerGuy Started w/ local Baltimore rock gut ... National Bohemium. In long sojurn SF, Anchor Steam long before micro-brews "cool."
  13. @demingSoS @umairh Lots and lots od very talented, high integrity CEOs worldwide.
  14. @paul_gerrard @milguy23 @Wellsprings1 @greenwichhp Not to mention adults. (Absolutely no hidden message there; don't look for one.)
  15. @GreenwichHP @milguy23 @paul_gerrard @Wellsprings1 100% agree with your disagreement, Ted. Content first. PERIOD.
  16. @milguy23 @wellsprings1 Re my story, we had just landed ahead of schedule. Okay???
  17. @mpawlo As ex-McKinsey, the overwhelming appearance of impropriety, especially by ex-MD, is decisive factor rather than the trial's outcome.
  18. Totally absurd! Flight attendant w/ good voice sings goodbye love song to passengers! I LUV Southwest! (They screw up flying's crappy rep.)
  19. Watching Syrian footage airport CNN; shaking my head at how insanely lucky I/my family are.
