I think I could continue this list for a while. I could philosophize whether this is caused by the audience or not, but I'll leave the interpretation to someone who attended :)Markus Gärtnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728306418553053255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922407.post-5596350235393238972009-08-25T10:53:26.474-07:002009-08-25T10:53:26.474-07:00Add 39a.

But I'll pick out one of them for now: 17. Manage Expectations<br /><br />This is a great tip - a great skill if done well.
