Official Leaders Dubai Blogger!

Posted on | October 9, 2008 | No Comments

I little more than a month from now LEADERS will be in Dubai once again!

And this year for the first time the event will have its own official blogger to tell the story behind the story from the floor!

That blogger is none other than me!

How did this happen? What training do you need? What is the payout?

The short and simple response to how it has all come about is I asked who was doing the blogging at the conference and when there was a pause I said I would… 2 seconds later I am the official blogger!

LESSON LEARNED #1 You have nothing to lose by asking!

LESSON LEARNED #1a Sometimes the obvious things are the most overlooked.

How do you train to blog? Just do it and think what is the value of the content!

LESSON LEARNED #2 Our everyday education, on the street, is as valuable as a Ph.D.

We spend a lot of time asking the simple question, “what is in it for me”, and too often the answer is some how linked to money.

What will I get out of the official blogger job for Leaders in Dubai? Simple, access to a cool event and an opportunity to experiment with WEB 2.0 with a bunch of corporates who probably spend too little time thinking about this type of communication tool.

LESSON LEARNED #3 Bragging rights are invaluable!
