Glocal Happens

Sat in Shanghai and had dinner a couple of days ago with a wonderful mix of people:

...my publisher and his wife (from Illinois), a young couple from Texas, a business man from Singapore, a couple living in Shanghai---(she is originally from Hong Kong but met her husband in Minneapolis), a Chinese citizen born in China, a farmer from Pennsylvania, two business men from Manila and myself.

Now that pretty much illustrates the power and reality of glocal. We flew from around the world to join hands for a common purpose. Race, distance, and backgrounds blurred as we focused on a common goal.

Just getting back from China and am still in an airport and feeling a bit jet-lagged. But anxious to share some of the lessons I am learning about this new glocal reality.

By the way, if current prices are any indication of what is to come--you may want to avoid Beijing this summer. Wow!
