Been away too long - well not really away but we've had a press of business that has kept blogging too minimal. I'm delighted to be back, and next week we are going to the National Speakers Association convention, and will post some daily delights!
Recently I was with a delightful and impressive client - and loved his comment about "Blackberry Abuse" in meetings and speeches. (A post is coming soon on that too, and what to do about it.)
He said that when he goes to national meetings of his top Fortune 500 company, he knows when certain people are going to be long. And boring. So he puts his text message off regular and on "unlimited plan." Might as well get some work done.
True story. It would be great if we could have a metric that would measure how much texting, email checking, and IM's went on as a measure of the effectiveness of the communicator in a large audience setting.
