29. The Big Sail......(Well Tracy Edwards MBE might be) ......

30. The real harvest ......

32. Elevator PitchDead

33. Resist the temptation to dump your elevator pitch on people they are probably not looking to write a £2 million cheque for you today......

35. The freeprize inside is that when you make the effort of participating in a community you SAVE lots of energy and have a more sustainable life. So all those people pretending not to ‘pursue transactions’ when really they are actually getingin the way of community& the people that really do solve problems.

36. Vodafone Example......

37. Brave noble warrior of the corporate engagment world who attempt to build deep, high trust and relationships with people via their twitter feed, even when someone puts out a cheeky tweet. They survive gaffs better than Gordon Brown & Nestle. They get my vote!
