Indy Hour

In this day of instant messaging and cyber communities, nothing beats sitting down with a small group of interesting people to converse on a particular subject over coffee, chocolate and/or a glass of wine.

Unless they smell like Chanel and Camel Lights and stuff shrimp in their mouths and end up spitting said shrimp on you while discussing the upside of a Giuliani presidency.

But that shouldn't happen with this crew.

The Independent - with support from Poor Richards, Citizens Project and KRCC-FM - has launched:

"Indy Hour"

Most Thursdays from 4:45 to 6 PM
we will host a participatory dialogue featuring either an interesting guest or a timely topic. Free and open to all.

Thursday Sept 13: "Leading for Sustainability: What's Different?" a conversation with Dr. Laura Quinn moderated by Cecelia Jacobs, both with Center for Creative Leadership. Dr. Quinn's specialty is helping organizations pursue sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

Thursday Sept 27: Sean Paige , Gazette Editorial Page Editor - Q & A session moderated by Independent publisher John Weiss with assistance from KRCC news director Eric Whitney.

So please join us when you can Thursday late afternoons at Poor Richard's Bookstore, 324 ½ N. Tejon Street, Downtown Colorado Springs.

Questions and/or suggestions for future Indy Hour topics or speakers, email renee@csindy.com or jweiss@csindy.com or call 577-4545.

I noticed the leadership discussion you posted here and wanted to add a few words. I host a radio show, The Greater Voice, and recently did a show on leadership. One of my guests was John Ryan President of the Center for Creative Leadership another was Congressman Charles Rangel as well as two more.

What struck me as most interesting was the focus on great leadership coming from within. Rangel talked a about leadership coming from self-image - the gang leaders in his home, Harlem, have a skewed idea of leadership. John Ryan discussed the importance of 360-degree feedback, so leaders really understand themselves in a broader context.

Anyway, the show is on tomorrow morning - and podcast, too at www.thegreatervoice.com. I'd LOVE to hear feedback and am interested in any other thoughts about leadership.
