Houses and phones

It appears we're making tremendous progress with regard to selling our house in the states, and renting one in the UK. I enjoy the negotiations and there really are quite helpful people out there to help things go smoothly.

After picking up a SIM card for my phone this morning, I was able to receive texts, but the internet didn't work otherwise. I rushed back to the store, after trying to call them, and minutes before they closed. Under cellular settings there's a server that it connects to, and for some odd reason it autopopulates an incorrect address. It's an easy fix and I'm up and running on pay as you go, great!

I'm presenting to an all English audience tomorrow. I believe it's a group of approximately 90 aspiring leaders. Let's see if I can successfully adjust my approach to what I think might be more successful. Later in the day, I'm part of an online panel to a global audience, not sure how many folks, but quite substantial I think. Should be interesting to prepare and present to these different groups. 

The tie to knowledge management today is that anyone can do anything they put their heart into. We have to remember that each person practices something different, and therefore gains expertise. Our challenge is to know when to follow expertise and when to push back, or negotiate, using what you believe to be your own experience and expertise. Not an easy balance to find between trusting others and trusting yourself. Open transparent communication is critical.
