You Lost Me At Hello?
Ever had such bad service right at the start that they had lost you from that moment on? Or perhaps it wasn’t bad service, perhaps it was bad planning? Experience planning isn’t a simple task, because if it was, everyone would be getting it right. I think it actually takes a lot of thought to [...]

In A Year…
I started this blog of ours a year ago today. Since then, well, awesome things have happened. A year ago I never thought I’d be running an event in Helsinki today, or meeting the incredible people I’ve got to meet, or spend a day consulting Finland on their Social Media strategy.

Building The Kingdom: Generalists and Specialists
We’ve been discussing the mini-series of “Building the Kingdom”, which has been a very insightful time for us to hear from one another on what it takes to build something that is strong, influential and significant. Notice I don’t say successful, which has personal and financial nuances, but rather I say significant, which instead speaks of [...]
