Great photo. I love it. I wonder if these last pictures taken by Tom have something to do with Seth Godin´s last (or one of the last) articles saying Flickr is great strategy for spreading the word. Anyway I appreciate his photos, both taken by him and taken to him.

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the fact that Tom makes all of his slides available. They are such a great resource.
Along those lines, a question - do the background colors of each slide have any significance for Tom in his presentations? Like (red - idea A, blue - idea B, etc.)
Thanks!

A picture saves a thousand words - thanks for a cracking shot Cathy.

Tony - you are sooooooooo right - I have said many times I feel lucky to get 'for nothing' stuff that I would be charged for by many sites. Tom walks the talk about sharing information and it reminds me of a quote I often use in talks 'The best way to gain power is to let go of power'

A moment of rest before catching the next big wave ...

Tony, for the most part, blue indicates the beginning of a new section. Red is the predominant background color for quotes, and any other color is chosen to reflect the mood of a statement. But Tom makes all the choices, so he could tell you better than I.

Mr Peters, thank you for the quotes in your slides on how & why healthcare needs to be changed. I'm a medical student in Texas and am relieved that there is a recognition out there that things need to change, and that big business & entreprenuers are making things happen while the medical establishment continues to pay lip-service to things like reorienting around chronic care & prevention.

Or maybe it's an ad for The Radical LEAP.

Or maybe I came back to this picture again because I am contemplating taking a deeper leap of faith into my business. Here's to our OS!M moments!

T.S. Eliot, may I finally risk going too far!

Raj, I came away, oddly, with some thought that the insurers might get on this bandwagon. They'd like to keep us out of expensive acute-care hospitals, and the best way to do that is prevention-wellness-chroniccare-homecare.

Tom, I'm organizing a group of employers to put pressure on the system to re-imagine and change the quality of health care. Thanks for the inspiration.
