This morning’s Bootcamp was held in Dolores Park playground and we used the swings, slides, bars, rings as our gym. I had a difficult time concentrating on my push-ups because old memories of taking my daughter to playgrounds kept flooding my brain. For years, we would pack snacks, treats, toys, strollers, roller skates, etc and head out to play in the North Beach Playground in San Francisco. 
We met friends, their children, shared stories and wiped many tears and mouths. This is where my daughter learned her social skills, gained self-confidence, challenged her physical skills, and gained a reputation for being the “alpha child.”
Today’s business playground is a different, grown-up version — it’s a social playground with lots more people and choices. Everyone is using their words, pictures, and voices, and many are gaining confidence and sharing themselves. The “alpha child” in today’s social playground is the one with the strongest social graph or the highest twitter clout score and when we connect to them, everyone else seems to join.
Could this social clout become today’s new job security? Find out and tune in tomorrow @11am PST for my webinar on 11 in 11- First Look at the Top 100 Transforming Sales Trends in 2011. Oh, and we are giving away 50 free Smart Selling on the Phone and Online books.
