1. Joyful Jubilation

Last week I became an official contributor to Joyful Jubilant Learning, a really fun community learning blog you should check out if you’re not familiar with it. It was quite an honor and look forward to stretching my mind reading and writing. (A complete list of JJL community contributors appears at the bottom of this post.)

2. Word Sell Cartoon Appears in Magazine’s Premier Issue

The premiere issue of STRATEGY magazine hit the newsstand this month, and my cartoon appears on page 20 –

Supporting our conclusions

STRATEGY MagazineVery cool magazine and Web site, and I’m glad to be part of it, albeit a very small part! A few of the cover stories sound are quite intriguing –

  • The Islamic Republic of Finance
  • Immortal Sense of Technology
  • Will Cuba Rise Again?

Mavian Arocha, Editor-in-Chief of STRATEGY, described the magazine to me as follows — “STRATEGY is setting the agenda and charting the evolution of business through a unique focus in the marketplace. By uncovering the actionable approach, STRATEGY helps a new breed of leader work smarter and more effectively. In each issue of STRATEGY, we strive to keep business professionals current within their disciplines, but in a concise and holistic approach. Our synopses focus on the core business disciplines, such as real estate, management, finance, accounting, supply chain, information technology, entrepreneurial, and marketing.”

(The cartoon was originally created for Bill Welter at Adaptive Strategies.)
