Image credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/helico/404640681/ …I just don’t have time to do it. And the reasons are very straightforward: I’m juggling several projects on top of my regular job. Those that know me quite well know that I like to involved in projects that, by their nature and objectives, speak to my heart or that I find challenging … Continue reading

I = igniting, inspiring (part II)
The idea came from reading Linchpin by Seth Godin a few months ago. Some time after I wrote a post on this blog which would turn out to be the basis for the talk I delivered last week at The Hub in Oporto as part of the Ignite Portugal initiative. From my personal and professional … Continue reading
Sparkles, ignitions and lizards: the Ignite effect
“It’s the first day of spring and my life is starting over again…” This song, by Noah and the Whale, starts playing as I write this post and it kind of sets the mood for my writing. Every time I listen to the opening line I get a feeling of being reborn which was pretty … Continue reading
The art of explaining a blogger’s absence
Yesterday I was horrified to discover that it has been more than one month since I last posted on this blog. Since then I’ve been trying to figure out where the days have gone. The truth is that I’ve been rather busy trying to juggle several balls: the regular (paid) job, the communication strategy (including … Continue reading

Let me just start by saying that I had never heard of the event until a tweet from Lee Bryant caught my attention a couple of months ago. Knowing that Lee … Continue reading
Shi(f)t happens
I’m in Lisbon to attend the Shift 2010 conference. And I never thought that I would say this but a volcano (yes, a volcano) has affected the event. Simply explained: the flight chaos prevented some attendees and speakers from travelling, namely Lee Bryant from Headshift (and Lee was really one of the main reasons for … Continue reading
I = igniting, inspiring
Last month I decided to participate in an Ignite event. I must confess that I had never heard about Ignite until mid-February when a friend sent me a link saying “Ain’t this interesting?” and then just snapped “What if you delivered a talk about Enterprise 2.0?” [one of the topics I’m currently passionate about]. After … Continue reading
