1. General Colin Powell’s 13 Tips for Leadership: General Colin Powell, our featured keynoter at Learning 2012, has just published a book that focuses on leadership. My blog for Learning 2012 contains a list of 13 Tips from Colin Powell that I find intriguing, including:

* It ain’t as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.
* Get mad, then get over it.
* Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.

There are 10 more, plus comments from General Powell at http://www.learning2012.com .

2. Midtown Men - Original Jersey Boys Cast at Learning 2012: While on the topic of our Learning 2012 event, we have just signed four of the original “Jersey Boys” (The Midtown Men) to perform an incredible concert for participants and their families. Stars of the Broadway musical “Jersey Boys” - Michael Longoria, Christian Hoff, Daniel Reichard and J. Robert Spencer - will bring their harmonies and music to the thousands of Learning 2012 colleagues. Come join us for the music of the Four Seasons, Beatles, Mama’s & Papa’s and hits from Motown. Details at http://www.learning2012.com/midtown, including a video sampler of their talent.

3. Discretion on the Train Response Overwhelming: Every now and then, one of these Learning TRENDS notes seems to strike a chord in our field. On Tuesday, I shared a story about listening to 3 hours of employee interviews done by a passenger on my Amtrak train, who disclosed a great deal on his cell phone. I have received over 900 notes from colleagues around the world who resonate with the need for our organizations to be more specific and behavioral about sharing corporate communications from a digital device in public. Look 360 before conducting a high energy discussion from your phone! The original article is at http://tinyurl.com/borm9yo
