#QandA Watching Christine Lagarde on Q&A last night gave me hope that leaders can be articulate, smart, forward thinking, diplomatic and an inspiration. I have hope for the future… who are your Australian leaders of this standard?

2 guests at my ‘Dream Dinner Party” would be Christine Lagarde @Lagarde & Ita Buttrose @ItaButtrose ~ mind blowing & real!

I think Pharmacies can be a great retail space & indeed need a revamp!

From Mark Muller: “Five trends shaping community pharmacy design: Successful store design is merely a physical manifestation of a business’s marketing objectives.

I attended The Location Based Marketing Association event at Colin, Biggers & Paisley, here are some of the posts, you can follow the #LBMAsyd hashtags here.

  • @AsifRKhan ‘85% of all data has a location element’ #LBMAsyd
  • ‘Location is where you are right now’ #LBMAsyd Location based Marketing is so exciting!!
  • #LBMAsyd In Australia is corporate legal the marketers wet blanket in terms of privacy & location based marketing?
  • #LMBAsyd Location & the internet are a little incongruous in terms of jurisdiction & privacy laws.
  • This is the world I live in..,. I’m at #LBMAsyd & only realised @halans is in the same room via twitter!!

I was at Reed Gift Fairs, speaking every day at The Retail Hub on different topics.  See the pics on Facebook here.
