One night, you woke up with an incredible epiphany – isn’t that fun!? After thinking about it for awhile, talking it over with a few trusted friends, you launched your new project. But now the realities of the situation have caught up to you. This is hard!

Well, you knew it would be hard when you started. You’re not an idiot. But you didn’t know it was going to be this hard. You’re not ready to give up…yet. The thought does cross your mind sometimes though.

You’ve probably already noticed that most of your friends do not make good mentors. They are smart, creative, and supportive, and they are great cheerleaders – but they don’t have the answers. What you need is a reliable conversation with someone who doesn’t always tell you what you want to hear.

That’s where we come in. With extensive experience in leadership, mentoring, coaching, and successful multi-disciplinary management, we can help you reach the next level. We can help you get past the plateau you’ve discovered.

Anyone can connect the dots when they are out in the open. It takes an intuitive, practical understanding of the current trends and opportunities to successfully chart a course in a dynamic world of change.

No matter your focus, we can offer various approaches to your situation. We specialize in analysis of the current situation, identifying potential solutions, and defining your best approaches to the future. In addition, we have the connections to the people who can best make this all happen. We will happily direct you to people who are better suited to your situation and issues.

If you would like some assistance connecting the dots – especially the invisible ones, contact us. We’re happy to meet with you at no charge to discuss your situation. Sometimes, that initial consultation is all you need – and we’re fine with that. We’ll never push more on you than your want or need.

Presented by Chris Messina (OpenID Foundation), David Recordon (Six Apart), Joseph Smarr (Plaxo). As evidenced by Barack Obama’s successful presidential campaign, we have clearly entered the age of the social web. This developer-oriented workshop will emphasize the use and application of free, open building blocks for enabling social networking features on your site or service, and provide illuminating insights from some of the key figures creating these technologies.
