A TUESDAY NIGHT WITH LOLLY DASKAL (@lollydaskal)

Every Tuesday evening from 8pm EST to 9pm EST for the past few months, I have been a willing participant of a Twitter.com Tweetchat with Consultant, Coach, Speaker, Founder of #LeadFromWithin, and Author Lolly Daskal. These Tweetchats are insightful, thought provoking, and generate genuine conversation. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Twitter members join the conversation every Tuesday night.

Each week, it is a different topic. The host, Lolly Daskal, interspersed throughout the hour leads the dialogue by posting 10 questions, which end with the hashtag #LeadFromWithin. Every participant is encouraged to respond to the 10 questions. The responses are fantastic!  You have to read them (well, as many as you can).

I invite you to join us every Tuesday evening and throughout the week be on the lookout for the Twitter hashtag #LeadFromWithin

On the evening of Tuesday, February 18, 2014, we were joined by Faisal Hoque (@faisal_hoque) & Drake Baer (@drake_baer) co-authors of Everything Connects. The conversation centered on the content of their book. Here are the questions as posted by Lolly Daskal and my response. Enjoy!
