WebEx: Ideas in Motion

Nominate Your Favorites for a LinkedIn European Business Awards

We know business folks work hard. We want to make sure they get rewarded.

That's why we are partnering with LinkedIn on the LinkedIn European Business Awards.The awards will recognize exceptional business success both on a personal and company wide level, specifically rewarding innovation and collaboration in business. The European Business Awards are open to all members of LinkedIn across Europe, with individuals and companies of any size eligible to enter. Entrants can either nominate themselves or others for the awards online. 

The awards will be judged by LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, PY Gerbeau, the famous French entrepreneur and business consultant, and James Campanini, the head of Cisco WebEx for EMEA and Latin America. 

The winner of each category will be awarded a live WebEx session with one of the judges, with the final overall winner receiving an expenses-paid trip to travel to London for their personal meeting with PY Gerbeau.

To win, professionals and businesses will have to demonstrate how they have found exceptional business success as a result of collaboration and sharing ideas and provide tangible proof of achievement.

Passing the Ball - it takes a (global) village...

Don't worry, I appreciate the irony of writing in English while trying to reach out to folks in Germany and France. But I have to start somewhere!

We've had an amazing "first week" with PasstheBall.com in the United States. In face, we have attracted ideas from Russia, Malaysia and Egypt! But we want to reach out to a few more languages - we are starting with German and French (hopefully with more to come).

We are kicking off these sites this week and we'd like to have everyone reach out to folks who read/write German or French and invite them to Pass the Ball! Here are the links to the sites:

German: passtheball.de
French: passtheball.fr

Remember, the more people we get to participate, the more donations are triggered for Teachers Without Borders. And you don't have to post an idea - you can come in, register and comment, join a team, rate ideas - or just share ideas with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or whereever you share good news.

Thank you everyone. And if you are in the UK, don't forget the big event on Wednesday. We hope to see you there!
