Late Show 2011 Blog - Are you soaring or boring? by @julie_hall #llbs

Last week, Bernie shared that he was tired of bland events about bland business issues with bland people selling bland global solutions.  And I feel his pain.  As we begin 2011 and the same old emails start hitting my inbox,  I truly want to weep with boredom.  Where is the interest, where is the new, where is the exciting?  As each day passes more people and companies are chasing an ever reducing pot of money to keep themselves going.  And most of appear to be falling into the trap of being

#TAGtribe Blog - Thank you Howard Mayes

Today we are inspired to offer a few words for our friend and TAGtribe member Howard Mayes. We have just got back from saying goodbye to Howard, over 300 people attended Howard's funeral, many had travelled from across the UK and postponed meetings and made time to pay their respects to this remarkable man.  Howard suddenly passed away over the Christmas period. The inspiration for this blog comes from the amount of poignant comments people have made on line and in person, e

#TAGtribe Blog by @jamespoulter A New Years Thought - Lets Get Real!

2 things prompted this little thought, which in it’s self has turned into a new years resolution for me that may be one of the hardest to keep out there.   It’s not got anything to do with quitting something, or starting up something new, but actually is about doing something that we need to overcome in ourselves. Not just me, but all of us. The two things that prompted this resolution are these: 1. This post from Bernie about being connected to people. 2. This video from Tony Porte

#TAGtribe Blog - Slow is Fast & Fast is Slow

Slow is fast and fast is slow You go to a 'networking event' and walk out with 10 new best mates. Or do you? You race home and hook up LinkedIn and they email you their 42 page PDF brochure suggesting it would be a good idea to 'keep in touch." Everything seems great. Then you receive a suspiciously chirpy follow up email a few days later. Office furniture salesmen (men not women) seem thrive lines like, "If you know anyone in a business that has an office I'd be happy to talk to them

#TAGtribe Blog - Germany and the Euro in 2011 by @mggruenert

Germany and the Euro   Over the last two weeks, many people have been asking me about the general mood in Germany at the moment. Many are wondering how much longer Germany will be part of the Euro and willing to help out Greece, Ireland, Portugal and so on. In the past, countries responded always in the same way to economic crises. They just printed lots of “new” money, the currency was devalued and their industries could compete again because of cheap prices. But since the Euro was i

Late Show 2011 Blog - Lesson Learned? by @lucyjpayne #llbs

Lesson Learned? As you start reading this post you are probably thinking - “who is she?” and you’d be very right in thinking that. In all honesty, I am no-one special. I am Lucy Payne, I work in Social Media Marketing, I have lived in London for 5 Months, and I am speaking at January’s Late Late Breakfast show. Why? Because apparently, I have something to say. Clearly I shoot my opinionated Welsh mouth off way too much, because for the second month in a row I’ve agreed to speak in public.
