What we talked about:

• the intersection of business and politics
• why all leadership is change leadership
• how the Internet has seeped into every facet of our lives
• where digital natives are pushing society forward
• what is a ladder of engagement
• why  employee advocacy is some of the most powerful advocacy there
• how brands can respond and comment on social media without getting caught off guard

it's all of our responsibility to create the kind of world we want to see. I believe that disruption is inevitable, but the kind of disruption we get is up to us.
