You’ve all heard me talk up a storm about Dan Pink, author of Free Agent Nation, the must-read A Whole New Mind, and the recently-released The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Need, right? OK, check this out: On Friday, June 6, you can participate in a one-hour teleconference with Mr. Pink. It’s free, save the cost of a long distance call if you’re not using a cell phone or Skype or calling from work.

Here are the details:
Learn from My Life: A Teleconversation with Daniel Pink
Friday, June 6, 2008
11:00 AM-12:00 PM CDT

There’s more to talk about here, though. The “teleconversation” is being presented by a company called Learn from My Life, which ultimately aims to “challenge and engage thought leaders to make a difference.” This conference call is one way to address that mission. One thing of note is that, once you’ve registered, you can vote for the questions you’d like the guest speaker to answer. I’ve been toying with this idea for our own presentations–giving people the opportunity to tell us what they’d like to know more about ahead of time, so we can be better-prepared to answer questions. Interesting idea.

You can also hear the audio from past calls, such as this one from Dale Brown, former LSU basketball coach (he coached Shaq in college, and also graduated more than 80% of his players), and provide some quick feedback.

I hope you’ll join me on this call, but if not I’ll report how it went and what I learned.
