Gladwell – A Master Intellectual Opportunist
Food for thought. Not concrete, not a statistically significant way to measure society, not a stab at telling us in any firm way how the world works, but food for thought.
Gladwell presents us with fresh perspective, either through novelty, or an unabashed free conscience. Either way, the man is truly affluent in his abilities with [...]
Ottawa Social Media Book Club
Yesterday I participated in a book club discussion centered around Social Media. The club, which meets about once every three months, met at the downtown Fox and Feather Pub and was discussing The Cluetrain Manifesto. The ‘Manifesto’ is a book by now 10 years old but not to be confused as outdated. It talks about [...]
Don’t be afraid to experiment!
Malcolm is a true inspiration for the Canadian people and especially last Thursday afternoon for the Ottawa Community. I really enjoyed the Q & A and many people in the audience had the chance to email or use twitter to send in their questions! Yes! Many of us had their crackberries and iPhone turned on [...]
TalentBridge: All About Highly Skilled Creative Talent
Talent, Creative Class, Knowledge Workers, Entrepreneurship … cool buzzwords (some would contend) that are (some would contend again) fast emerging as qualifications that almost anyone and everyone wants to be defined with. True, sometimes these terms … especially in their (over)use as prescription for curing most of our current economic woes … are indeed infuriatingly vague and lack any [...]

@RiahiSonia attends #Zone5
There is a lot of social media hype going around…. GET on the BANDWAGON, include it in your MARKETING STRATEGY, set up a BLOG, a TWITTER account, a LINKEDIN account, a FACEBOOK ….(all caps lock words heard as if on loud speaker). It’s exhausting and just confusing. Most of those I met during the networking [...]

Day 1 included a technology awareness reception at [...]
New Weekly Post on Tbridge: Startup Spotlight
Beginning this week I’ll be spearheading a new ‘column’ on the Tbridge blog focusing on bringing startups and up-and-coming companies into the public spotlight. While the initiative is geared primarily towards current young companies this is not restrictive – we’ll also be looking at past success stories, and I’ll even throw in the occasional tidbit [...]
A Day of Inspiration
First, zone5 at lunch and then Malcolm Gladwell this evening. If attending that combination of events doesn’t inspire or motivate you to get off your butt and start doing something to improve yourself, I am not sure what will.
Malcolm Gladwell, a revered writer for The New Yorker and famed author of multiple books, namely The [...]
