Greetings!
Major Change Management Conference
I just signed up for the Nexus for Change conference
being held at Bowling Green State University, Ohio on
March 21-23. If you are deeply interested in the
subject of change management, I urge you to look
into attending. Many of the people I have learned
from are going to be there: Peter Block, Marv
Weisbord, Dick and Emily Axelrod, Jake Jacobs, the
list goes on.
I expect to engage in a lot of great conversations,
learn a lot, and come back filled with ideas. . . And I
doubt that this conference will include a lot of
slick PowerPoint presentations. At least that’s my
hope.
It’s being run by a non-profit so the fee is $299 (US).
Really! When’s the last time you attended something
of any value for a price like that? www.nexusfo
rchange.com I hope that you can tell that I am
not a shill for them. I got excited about the write-up
and registered as quickly as I could.
I hope to see you there.
