- The 21st Century Watercooler
- Social Networking
- Change Communication Strategy
- Learning, Mentoring, Growing
The funny thing is, most of these ideas came to me when I was driving home & no pen to write them down – doh!!! You will just have to wait & see what comes out of it.

Here are a couple of examples:
From there I exported the slides as PNG files and dropped them into PowerPoint. I have been reading Garr Reynolds new book Presentation Zen, and it helped me rethink how to design the slides.
