Selling Brand Personality

I mapped this presentation using iThoughtsHD on my new iPad.  Still some personal reprogamming to do after years using ink on a Tablet PC.  The map created on the iPad has been past back to the Tablet PC for some polishing.  MindManager on the PC still leads the way for ease of adding links, formatting and publishing to the web. Publishing it is my next job!  Watch this space.

Choosing the Right Business Idea – Tom Ball at NRG London – 8 Nov

Monday, November 7th, 2011

Cabre will be there mapping the presentation. Tom is a leading visual entrepreneur. He created Cognac – the big picture company which he sold recently. I am sure we will hear about his new business Cognac Systems – Digital product design & development tomorrow.

I have known Tom for several years. He confused me at our first meeting by being a couple of decades older than the impression I got from his profile photo.
