Comment Prize for February (Oh.. and for January and December Too)

Posted: March 2nd, 2009 | Author: Barak Kassar | Filed under: blogservations | 3 Comments »

It has been fun to see response to this blog. Sadly.. I have been a little lax in awarding prizes. Sorry! But let me get caught up.

The February comment prize goes to Sean McPhetridge. He writes in response to a post about communicating to instill fear vs. communicating to instill calm.

The January prize goes to Jeb Buffinton writing in response to a post titled “The Hardest Part About Communicating: Listening.”

December’s prize goes to Heather Zenone writing in response to a post on the role of communications in creating culture.

The prize: each can choose from one of the the following books:

Made to Stick, Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die, by Chip Heath and Dan Heath
Outliers, The Story of Success, by Malcolm Gladwell
Inside Steve’s Brain, by Wired’s Leander Kahney

Barak – I’m thrilled! I’d like to thank the members of the Academy…
Glad to have contributed to the debate.
Just back from 2 weeks of head-clearing travel, have been giving our project some thought, and will shortly get an idea breakdown to you for discussion.
“Outliers” looks interesting.
Speak soon,
Best,
Jeb

Hi Barak,

Well, I don’t think I can beat Sean Penn’s award speech, but I AM looking forward to equal rights for all.

Now that I have the required political part out of the way, both “Made to Stick” and “Outliers” are on my reading list. So I’m happy with either.

Working on a new project. Miss UnaMesa. Hope you are happy, healthy, and well!
