It’s finally that time of year where I head out ISA’s Marketing & Sales Summit with my partner Shari Worthington at Telesian Technology.   It’s our 3rd annual summit.  I was on the planning committee since the inception, and I’ve been working on this event (along with several others) since last March.  Let’s just say I’m glad it’s here.  It’s always good to get these things behind us.

This year I’ll be making a co-presentation with a nice guy from Jacobs Automation – Scott Summer.  We’re going to be talking about how marketers can do a better job in working with sales.  “Marketing Strategies that Enable Sales Success” is the title, I think.  A little bit buzzy, but it works.

I always enjoy the travel experience, and view each trip as a mini-science experiment.  I always enjoy discovering who, by LOA, is sitting next to me, or in line in front of me.   My Sensei Mike has shared some funny little tricks to do with energy while I’m on the road.  I’ll keep you posted on how I do, and if it actually worked.

But seriously, traveling always brings such interesting moments – moments of fun, laughter, amazement and also other less glamourous situations which I refuse to name so I don’t breathe energy into them…  I anticipate that this will be a pleasant experience, especially the mirco-brewery tour Thurs night.

I’ll also regularly post Twitter remarks as the conference goes on under #ISAMS3…

I’ll pop back in and let you know how the travels go.  Until next time…

I gotta get myself packed and buttoned up!

Well, I was fortunate to break away a little early for the long weekend holiday.  I’m up in Westmore, VT home of not many people – say 500 or so.  Anyway, it’s been great to be here, its a needed break from the daily chaos. 

This area is beautiful, we have a family house on Willoughby Lake.  Two mountains stand tall on either side of the lake, creating this feeling of deepness and inclusion.  The lake is pretty deep considering, I understand the diving is pretty decent here. But this has been my respite since I was ten years old.  I’ve been coming up here for the last 30 years, which is scary.  I met someone last week who has been coming up for 48 years, wow that’s a long time.

I was sitting out on the dock yesterday morning and the most excitement was 3 loons swimming by lazily.  They were cooing all the way down the lake, a mother talking to its children.  Then as they were floating by the dock I was sitting on, the little one raised its rear leg – almost like waving and I found myself thinking, Did he just wave at me? Nahhh… and then he did it again, so I waved back.  And then he did it again, this time toward my dog Sumo…so I waved again. Sometimes I think I’m nuts, but hey, it was a pleasant experience.  I’d like to believe that maybe, just maybe, he was waving at me.  It is possible, anything’s possible.

It must be that Vermont air.

Here’s a photo of where I’m at during a sunset. 

So, what does that really mean?  Well, it means that I am starting a new personal blog so I can bring together all the pieces in my life into one place.  I currently blog about B2B Marketing at blog.telesian.com, but that’s not all of who I am. And I Twitter @julianng among other things, which is fun as well as myspace and facebook.  But I have no place to bring it all my thoughts together, so here it is.

Welcome to my new blog . I hope you find it entertaining, humorous and insightful.  That’s the goal. 

I’ll be writing about my life in progress, with pauses for reflection, insanity and hilarity. I’ll also be poking fun at other’s lives, especially when they cross mine.  And because this is my personal blog, I can talk about whoever I want lol. 

Bum bye for now! Gotta do some consulting work.
