    Liz,

    VERY cool stuff! Major props out to all of the great bloggers who hosted as well as participated in the discussions. It was a great idea that I’m sure a lot of people would like to see more of.

    Special thanks to YOU, Liz! I know you must have been bouncing off the walls trying to keep up with everything, so major appreciation to you for the effort! :)

    Thanks for inviting us all Liz, I had a great time, it was just a shame I had an early start today so couldn’t stay up for the late night (in London) sessions.

    That was a fantastic day of sharing! I wish I could have been there live for all the sessions. You should do it again - once you recover from this one.

    Hi Aaron,
    Thank you. You called it right. It was almost as if the day were live for all of the behind the scenes things to attend to. :)

    It was well worth every second!

    Hi Tariq,
    Like SOBCon will be . . . the exchange is what makes the day the questions take the discussion to a whole new level. Everyone wins and learns each other’s skills.

    Char,
    That could be the coolest accolade of all! Thank you! But like I said you and the others made the content come alive and get real.

    Ellen Weber said

    Liz, you inspire us with far more than a mind alive to ideas, leadership, people and talent.

    You inspire us with your unique approaches to life and to learning. This fun-filled day proved it. For the parts I could get here for I have stored a treasure! Thanks for your gracious ways!

    Just stoppin’ in to add my “Thanks!” Only got to attend a brief portion, but I’ll be catching up on some of the discussions.

    It looks like it’s value-packed!

    Liz,
    This was such a great idea. I didn’t get a chance to participate but did read some of the questions/answers afterward. Do more of these forums! Wish I could attend the conference…maybe next year! Are you going to do a live blog from it?

  26. March 13th, 2007 at 9:59 pm
    ME Strauss said

    Hi Delaney,
    I wonder whether I could contain myself long enough to do a life blog from it. probably.

    We want to make it so that folks can write in on the LIVE open comment night. :)
