Omphaloskepsis

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.
