25. “I was on a national research /
story-telling tour called
Millennials Changing America…
My housing fell through in
Cleveland and I was stranded.
I asked "Who do we know in
Cleveland, Ohio" via Twitter
and within 8 minutes
I had a place to stay...
It was awesome. We stayed at some
supporter's mansiony house.” – Alex

28. “I started the Chief Learning Officers Network
in late November 2008. I had no real
knowledge of Web 2.0 capacity. I had been a
member of LinkedIn for a few months, joining
because friends bugged me to be a part of it.
After a while as a member, I began to join some groups
basically to see what would happen. I didn't see a group
for CLOs so I started the network…because nothing was
in existence in LinkedIn and thought our community
needed something – a place, a forum, something to
communicate around ideas.”
29. “The group has become known as a place
for leaders in learning to share ideas /
thoughts / connect …
We know that CLO's who would have
never met have connected on issues of
commonality; some folks have begun
working together / collaborating…
On a personal level, I've been invited to a CLO's only
retreat and have been asked to be a presenter - without
the network the folks in charge of the retreat would
have never found me.”
