Free learning can come from groups like Work Literacy that provided a large online learning experience for free, or from LearnTrends that produces amazing content like LearnTrends 2009 for free. Free Learning may not be as high a quality – although I would claim that LearnTrends and WorkLiteracy filled niches.

After LearnTrends 2009 , I received a note from a person I know and highly respect that said, “I dropped in on several sessions over the last three days and wanted to thank you for your good facilitation skills …” It’s great to get that positive feedback, but this was actually a bit of a surprise. Please comment or post with ideas.

I was surprised by the fear and loathing expressed around SharePoint yesterday at LearnTrends 2009. And I’ll continue to collect examples of how organizations are Using SharePoint. I don’t think it’s the best tool out there, but it likely is the best tool being adopted by your IT department and is part of the Enterprise 2.0

He has an amazing grasp of what people want in the world and the best way to shape it to get through to them. He brokers wisdom. I love the guy. I think it’s in his blood.
