The 30-Day No Comment Experiment

“What are the value of blog comments?” I’ve been wrestling with this one for awhile. It seems that, when I really press myself and others, the answers come up short. Like Skee-Lo.

I wish I had a few more blog comments.

“Comments build community on your blog,” some folks say. “Comments are a great way to build traffic,” others will hypothesize. “We have blog comments because, well, we’ve always had blog comments.” Yes, I suppose that’s true. But does that mean they’re worth having?

Regardless of reasoning, I want to find out what will happen to this blog if I turn comments off for 30 days. One whole month. No comments. Will this blog die? I suppose we’ll find out.

Keep Going! >>

Global Leadership Summit 2011 – John Dickson

John Dixon

About John Dickson - Director, Centre for Public Christianity

Are prestigious titles and powerful positions prerequisites for impactful leadership? “You don’t need structural authority to be a leader of influence,” according to historian and social commentator John Dickson. “The leader’s strongest tool is humility,” he says. “It intensifies credibility.” Dickson, the author of Humilitas: A Lost Key to Life, Love, and Leadership (May 2011), investigates the crucial role humility plays in a leader’s life—and its theological, historical, and practical implications.

Dickson issues this challenge: Navigate the complex intersection of leadership and humility, and learn to lead through persuasion, example, and influence rather than positional authority. Dickson offers practices to help you cultivate deeper authentic humility on your team—and in your soul.

Session Notes
