It's my honor and pleasure to have been included as a member of the media covering the
2012 What's Next DC Conference.
I'd been covering it the morning of Monday's conference using Storify, but unfortunately had problems using the drag and drop interface to include tweets, pictures and videos on an iPad.

Vanessa French contacted me personally, it was just too good to pass up.
What was so great about this...

An Exercise Every Business Leader Needs to Do
Most business writing I read is awful—boring, verbose—and absolutely ignores the audience in any way other than to demonstrate how smart the author thinks he or she is.
There are exceptions, of course— those whose voice, personality and humanity jump out at you when you read. So how can you become one of the exceptional leaders whose message resonates with your followers?
What I believe differentiates you as a leader is your...
