I will participate on a featured panel during the Summit alongside respected leaders such as Marianne Williamson, Christiane Northrup, Jehmu Greene, Deva Premal, Joan Borysenko, and Marci Shimoff (full list below).

The 8-day program will explore many facets of being an inspired woman including: feminine leadership, entrepreneurship, women’s health, communication, relationships, manifestation skills, sensuality, community organizing, spirituality, and much more. Panel dialogues will focus on questions of importance to women, which will then seed your conversation with other participants.

Each day will also include networking opportunities to advance your work.

Never before have so many top women leaders gathered on the phone to offer their secrets, stories, advice, and encouragement to other women. It promises to be a dynamic week of personal transformation, powerful dialogues, and inspiring circles – all without expense or travel. This event is not like other teleseminar series – you will be an active co-creator and collaborator through breakout groups, collaboration circles, and more.

You can participate live on as many calls as you like and interact with both the leaders and other participants via a state-of-the-art MaestroConference platform.  Or you can just listen to the recordings later at your convenience since all will be taped.

The Summit runs from May 1st to May 8th and is completely free. Please do share this invitation with friends and allies – all are warmly welcomed to participate. While the event is geared towards women, men may participate as well.

Third Mind Think Tank: Visionary Thought Leadership (Or The Art of Original Thinking)

A Twitter conversation sparked this post a while ago, and I wanted to revisit today (thanks @JDeragon)

Jan Phillips wrote this white paper in 2006, using Michael Stelzner’s white paper on… “How to Write a White Paper” (thanks Michael …designed to help market the book she was writing for 9th Element Group, our angel-funded, short-lived “business of thought leadership” consulting company.

You can download it RIGHT here:

Visionary Thought Leadership. (PDF, opens new window, no registration required)

I think it’s time we revived it, let me know what you think when you read it,  it’s obvious to me now that we were way ahead of our time.

Enjoy the read, and if you like it…
You’ll LOVE the award-winning book companion book we published titled “The Art of Original Thinking: The Making of a Thought Leader”
(Amazon.com and in bookstores too)

Also, go check out Jan Phillips and tell her what an amazing predictor she is… (well, I guess we all were – we all added content and insight).  You’ll love her site.  Tell her Michelle Price sent you.

Online Thought Leadership: Can Twitter Put You in a Trance?

Do people who know how  NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)  or hypnosis works have an unfair advantage  on Twitter & Facebook, among other social networks?

I think they DO.  (Ummm…I KNOW they do. Some of my best friends are master NLP and persuasion artists and they have LOTS of Twitter followers who do what-ever-they-tell-them-to-do .

If there was anyone who would know for sure, it’s Richard Bandler.

You know, THAT Richard Bandler. The one considered the “Grandfather” of NLP. And a REALLY great hypnotist.

I was talking with a colleague and she happened to mention his new book, Richard Bandler’s Guide to Trance-Formation (she’s his publicist). I mentioned how fascinated I’ve always been with NLP and the ability to understand someone’s mental map and how they think. And how cool it would be to actually meet Richard Bandler.

What I told her I didn’t have was a simple explanation for what NLP actually is, and how it works.

I’ve read a lot of books that went into laborious details about it, gave all these long drawn out explanations on all of the terms, complete with illustrations of eyes looking up, looking down, looking left and down, looking right and up (reminding me of that rhyme we used to say in elementary school “Look UP, Look DOWN, Look at my THUMB, Gee You’re DUMB…LOL!).  I think they called them “accessing cues”…

All it did was make me dizzy and not want to think about it. So many unread pages….

So she sent me an email one day not long after and asked if I would be interested in interviewing him.  (umm..YES!!)

I got a copy of the book, and I must say that in the first 3 short chapters, I actually GOT what NLP is. Forever.

If you’re interested, it’s how we represent the world in our own mind – the map or model we create to make sense of and navigate around the world AND the distinct way we each process our experiences.

Does understanding how you process experience give someone an unfair advantage on Twitter when they want to persuade you to “click here” to “see”, or “listen” to or “download and read”?

Does knowing how to use certain words that are more hypnotic and trance-inducing than others make a difference in whether you actually take any action at all?

Good questions.  Listen to my interview on The Business of Online Thought Leadership Radio with Richard Bandler and hear what he has to say about social media, hypnosis, trance and NLP.

The New Language of Marketing 2.0:How to Use ANGELS to Energize Your Market

Today on The Business of Online Thought Leadership talk radio, I snagged an interview with leading thinker Sandy Carter, IBM’s Hippest Marketing 2.0 Chick, and Vice President, SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and WebSphere Marketing, Strategy, and Channels.

Sandy is also the new author of the book “The New Language of Marketing 2.0: How to Use ANGELS to Energize Your Market”. She is responsible for IBM’s cross-company, worldwide SOA initiatives and is in charge of one of IBM’s premier brands, IBM WebSphere.

She is known for her innovative Marketing 2.0;  she’s led the brand to win 14 industry marketing awards in the past year!

Listen in and learn what Big Blue is up to – how they are using the tools of Web 2.0 and social media to open and sustain conversations with their customers and prospects.  You’ll learn how they got over 50,000 customers to give them input on a new product, and how they used Twitter to increase the attendance at a series of Road Show LIVE events.  In fact, they attributed at least 5,000 attendees overall to Twitter!

Here you go, enjoy:

Connectivity is the New Currency(tm)…The Business of Online Thought Leadership

For some reason, I’ve always been fascinated with the topic of thought leadership. Maybe because I like to think a lot .  

In fact, in 2005 I was a partner in a start-up consulting firm with 5 other dynamic women – we named our company 9th Element Group, (the ninth element is Flourine, it’s the most powerful element in the known universe and has been tested as rocket fuel…literally).  and we decided our niche was going to be The Business of Thought Leadership.  We would position, package and propel thought leaders into their marketplace! 

Part of the business of thought leadership is that you publish thought-provoking information. And we knew we’d need to write a book to be taken seriously. Luckily, one of the partners was an award-winning author, Jan Phillips. Jan wrote the book over the summer of 2005 (literally).  The Art of Original Thinking: The Making of a Thought Leader was published in 2006 and won awards.

Unfortunately, the company ran out of funding before we could really get traction so we all went off to other things.   

My intrique with the topic has remained, and in particular, I’m finding that there are a lot of women who demonstrate thought leadership with blogging, podcasting, social networking, social media and other areas – PR, business, technology…but aren’t necessarily recognized for their leading-edge thinking.

So I’m starting an internet talk radio show “The Business of Online Thought Leadership” and it’s going to profile many of the brave new entrepreneurs leading the field who you may not necessarily know but probably should.  

This week starts with my good friend Rob Schultz of www.AudaciousAudio.com and the reason I started with him is that he’s done some really cool innovative things with online media, like creating flash movies for big name coaches, and created a Larry King-style split screen interview using Skype and a web-cam (who knew? Traditional media is probably about to lose their MIND because of innovations like this …they can’t compete!)

Why Rob first? Well, when we reconnected recently, he happens to have just created the Online Radio Challenge – a 50 day program to creating your online radio show using Blog Talk Radio (how about that for timing?? The Universe is always at work, right?)

You can watch the split-screen program below:

You can listen to our first show here: The Business of Online Thought Leadership

And, I’ll be on the air every Wednesday at www.BlogTalkRadio.com/onlinethoughtleadership at high noon to inspire and empower you to build your online presence using social media and social networking, build your platform and get up close and personal with some of today’s most innovative thought leaders in social media.

Hope you can join me!
