Girls, you're beautiful
Before dashing to Paris for the Marketing 2.0 Conference, I wanted to quickly wrap up the Forum Jump I attended last Friday and Saturday. Quite a different experience for me this year as I was 'back stage', running from one speaker to an other to record videos interviews along with Sabine. One experience kept the same perfume: I met and discussed with very inspiring women from Adrienne Axler- Sodexho so human CEO, confirmed by one of my male friend working over there- to writer Lulu Wang and Marie Bejot founder of Oenobiol (Martinette before you asked: no, no samples :-), and thats just to name a few of the guest speakers. Adrienne would be a great mentor and definitely an example to follow. Her passionate behavior echoes mine, jumping from one moment to the other lead by her heart, no business plan nor objective whatsoever. And yes! it seems to be working just fine :-) As for the key points, I loved the 100% american energy radiating from Lois Frankel. The wonderful 'you'll tell them to go to hell and they'll look forward to the trip" alone made it worth it :-) Nothing feminist here (like nowhere in this event, but thats my own perception), it can be apply to you guys too :-) After dedicating her new book 'Nice girls don't get rich' she waved you goodbye with a very assertive 'Get rich' order-like advice. I've always wanted to have first fun in my job. But for once I'm willing to try and consider the order. Will make it 'have fun & get rich' :-) Good timing to practice: this week conference in Paris is subtitled: 'how to make money from web 2.0 :-) BTW, probably going to twitter it rather than blog it; I become lazy carrying my Mac over in such places. Last words will go to Clo who fortunately catches the magic of the event like I did last year. Who you are and what you want to be when you attend Forum Jump can make it a complete different event. Worth a 3rd edition for me, thats for sure. Thanks Isa.
