Todays post from CC was one of those ask your friends what they like. So I thought I would answer them and send them off to folks I am interested in finding out what they are reading. If you are not on this list and are reading the blog. I would love to hear what your read! I am always looking for new books. The art of War seems to be coming up.

Conference Rolling Meetings

firstpage 47 Conference Rolling Meetings

I saw this post on Sue Pelletiers blog face 2 face. I had to steal it and show our readers. I love creative ideas to get people communicating. Plus its just plain nutty. Thanks Sue!

When it comes to staff meetings, I’m a big fan of movement. For example, I love a good “walking meeting,” where I can stroll with my colleagues and get some exercise for the bod while working out the brain. Who wants to sit in a conference room staring at the walls, when there’s so much in the world around us that can spark new ideas? Plus, spring’s finally here and, well, I get restless. So naturally I got all stoked when I heard about the Conference Bike (one of Alexander’s many interesting ideas on his Pimp Your Office post).
