The (old) Alpha Mind

It’ll take me a couple of days more to finish evaluating BBS. What I can say before signing off for the night is that Rebecca Blood did a fine presentation. And for the sake of the whole conference, it was a shame she went last, because she made it so obvious how far most of the other presentations had been off the mark. She was on topic, she made every word count, she kept to her allotted time, she simply did what I wished every other speaker had done. If you follow the link to her site, you’ll even see she immediately posted a link that several people had asked for during her pres. Superb, a true pro.

She wan’t the only one who did us right. Sally Falkow was spot-on, too. John Cass and Laurie Mayers also delivered.

And Buzz Bruggeman was great, shamelessly hawking his product at every turn, and doing so in such a way as to show how it’s done–with charm, humor, and above all, great storytelling. One of the ways he gets you not to be turned off by his salesmanship is the beams of positive light he sheds on others, many others. For example, he did a good job of plugging his friend David Allen.
