As we shift now with increasing momentum into the new year, I am reminded how much about this site I neglected to update, as I promised myself I would. We’ll see if I can imperove to meet my self set goals. Hopefully that’ll be useful [entertaining??] for you!!

This service, Fuze Meeting, will allow recording, video & audio, which many of you have asked for, if you miss a call. It also allows access from any device [ hand-helds, etc.], and has a simple one step sign-on process, using multiple methods. Also, more than one presenter can be shown live, via web-cams. Plus, most importantly, its much less expensive, so I’ve been able to lower the cost to participants significantly, to a token amount. Finally, it’s much more collaborative, supporting real dialogue, which is the way I’m now running these virtual calls [ c.30 so far].
Join us to contribute and gain, both personally/professionally. We [ i.e.,anyone knowledgeable of the Forum Process] is growing and being re-energized together!!

Barbara and I just returned from the 44th annual Conference of the Society of Information Management [SIM]. As one of the 11 founders, I have attended 42 so far, and hope to make the 5oth!
It was very rewarding to be approached by scores of attendees, offering thanks for helping start the Society and especially for founding and guiding the development of The Regional Leadership[RLF] progam!
Having just finished choosing, & updating, for my clients, the 50 basic documents, in my prespective, of the Forum process, and it’s “Magic”, it is very powerful for me to see others absorbing this in their own way, and doing internal self- sustaining leadership development progams inside their organizations! It’s wonderful for them ….and surely so for me!!

Barbara and I spent the weekend @ The College of the Holy Cross, attending the President’s Council with many other leaders. 6 special Classmates there. And lots of memories……. a wonderful time and process!! I was provoked to recall how huge an impact Holy Cross had on me in those four years [i.e., in addition to shaping my character & value set, & training my thinking habits, I had my eye removed because of cancer...... I learned how to lead/run all kinds of groups and meetings..... etc., etc.]
So I’ve been more broadly examining how the perspectives and imprints of that period of growth in my life, and the near term years after it, applies today, here on Cape Cod, with 5 Children ,8 grandchildren, many friends, and multiple clients, all over the country, and how will it shape me in the coming years…….
Very provocative

Our LLF @ Cantigny 10/4-5/11 was spectacularly successful for every one of the 27 attendees/speakers/facilitators. Their feedback was extraordinarily positive, & appreciative. That’s always been the case@ Cantigny though every session is different. Go to the tab above for more detail. I’ll put up some of the attendees comments re. value.We plan to return next October 2-4, 2012. Pencil it in, please. And make your own comments please to this blog if you were there
