I wanted to pass on my personal "thank you" for Belinda Yabsleys session with our Bank SA Key Branch Managers. Her session covered many points that are certainly "common sense" but in reality not "common practice" & giving them a different viewpoint, validated by your personal success stories made for a great session overall.

How many Daring Ideas are we planting?

At O2 Speakers we are very excited that Spring has arrived. It seems like a perfect time to start talking about topics like 'daring' and 'passion'. It also seems a fitting time to highlight that every great idea begins as a seed of inspiration - whether it's planted in a dorm room, an International disaster or Twitter - once sewn you have no idea of the size it might reach.

Chris Hughes

Chris Hughes believes that ‘sharing is daring’ - a philosophy that certainly worked for the Facebook founder who chats in the following video about the Power of Connectivity…

When O2 Speaker Chris Hughes helped hatch Facebook in his dorm room at Harvard, he hoped some friends might find a use for it.Facebook now has over 200 million users.

 Eager to connect like-minded communities to a greater good, Hughes then became the force behind My.BarackObama.com, the campaign apparatus that helped elect Obama and revolutionize the Web as a brand building tool.
