I Never Dreamed . . . Bloggers at the Nexus

I want to acknowledge the other bloggers I met at the Nexus. It was such fun to walk up to someone whom I had never met before and say, "Hi! I'm Tina, and I read your blog!"

In no particular order, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting or talking with these bloggers:

• Gabriel Shirley, key conference convener and a guy who teaches fish to dance
• Zach Smith, who blogs from Japan and embodies quiet leadership
• Keith Instone, a user experience guy who demonstrated unbelievable courage by spending two days with a group of "touchy-feely" process consultants
• Mario Gastaldi, who blogs brilliantly and bilingually in Italian and English
• Nancy White, who manages to be creative every second of every day (and maybe even while she's sleeping! - she told me she dreams blog posts . . . )
• John Abbe, an old school geek who is far ahead of his time
• Myriam Laberge, who is as composed and elegant as she appears in her photo
• Loretta Donovan, who group blogs at Appreciative Inquiry Annotations, and . . .
• Ivan Overton, a South African change agent who participated in the group Change Management Blog (alas, I didn't meet his fellow blogger Holger Nauheimer)

Other bloggers who were there, but whom I did not meet or perhaps met but did not know were bloggers . . .

• Jon Kennedy, who supported the whole conference platform on his GroupMind software (thank you so much, Jon!)
• Brian Childs, who was blogging for the host college, Bowling Green State University
• Doug Germann, who I think I may have met in a World Cafe conversation, but did not know was a blogger at the time, and . . .
• Kaliya Hamlin, who patiently tolerated my fumbling attempts at literally stepping through change during the Leadership Dojo

There's so much from the conference to share, and I know I'll never be able to document it all. Be sure to check out these other bloggers and the del.icio.us or Technorati tag "nexusforchange" for more reflections.
