Well, let's share what we have/do use, and perhaps the experts will join in... I like Buddha Bar / Buddha Lounge, which are mixes. They are pleasant, upbeat, but don't take over. I like Feist for when people are walking in to a room - something l...

I too had the same observation-- the music adds a huge dimension! And I too lack a playlist

Hey Susan I too found the music portions a delight. I had learned about this way back in film school. Interaction with all the senses is a guaranty to success. I try and ask nicely for play list. ( some of the facilitators do not take kindly to t...

Mindcamp Music

At this year's MindCamp, I was once again struck by the wonderful use made of music by several of the presenters. Matteo's music in the Alice in Wonderland session comes to mind, but there were many other instances. My request: would people be wil...

Very interesting photos. I note how many have a companion animal. The slip boxes are very interesting. Would love to understand more about how the author uses them.

I read about the electronic pen on your blog. Is it useful? It could be the product I have waited for to watch with the Conference Navigator Guide if it actually is worth the effort. I looked at the concept on the website.

I truly miss the quality of service and the funkiness of the design. I head back in March for an innovation conference in Sydney and a month in NZ. If this goes well, I may move my base back down under. How are things in the customer service world? I know I have mentioned my angst with coffee to you in Canada. This helps put in context the differences in my experiences. A friends emailed this note to me:
"In looking at the blog of newly-married friends spending time in Australia, I came across this comment on coffee: "I’ve learned, since, that Australians are much more particular about their coffee than us Canadians and they’re pretty proud of it. You don’t come to Australia to find a brewed cup of black coffee, you come for a superior shot of espresso in a cappuccino, or a latte and it’s presented as if it’s a work of art. Anything less is unheard of."

"as if it's a work of art" - now that is good customer service!!!!
