I thought that I knew Mike Ellsworth, probably because we were “linked” at the highest level on LinkedIn. I was wrong. I really did not know him, but now I have a much greater insight into who he is, what he does and his value as a network connection. I spent some time with him. We talked and I asked many questions, but I mainly listened, as Mike shared with me his insights and experiences with social media, personal branding and the importance of developing strategies before jumping in to unplanned and uncoordinated social media blitz campaigns. Mike is worth listening to! Get his book “Be A Person” and read it. Learn from it. Put his ideas into practice and get to know what you are doing and what you wish to accomplish. The book is light reading, but heavy on content; it makes you stop and think and reflect.

I find Ken Morris to be a significant voice in the areas of diversity enhancement and corporate leadership. In writing and speaking, he articulates well the need and value of embracing cultural and ethnic differences. In practice with corporate teams, Ken is truly impressive and inspiring. When asked for an expert in the field, Ken Morris is the name that first comes to mind.
