The hard part about any top 10 list is that by its nature good people get left off. I must admit that one of the speakers I was most looking forward to hearing was Charlene Li. I just felt her presentation was too high-level and offered nothing new. While Jim's presentation was meatier, if you'd read his books, or heard him speak before it was just more of the same. These were actually the two speakers with the most potential that left me the most disappointed, but hey, maybe it was just me. With regard to Lafley, I thought he gave an absolute clinic on innovation insights as did Grenny with the topic of influence. At the end of the day, all that matters is what you take away from the presentations, not who made my list. I'm glad you took the time to share your insights, as it gives me perspective into what others are thinking. Thanks Geoff... Hi Geoff

Although my list isn't the same... I can see why you chose the ones that you did. I have to admit that I am surprised you didn't include Jim Collins or Charlene Li. Personally, I'd plug them in somewhere in the #3 and #4 slots and remove Lafley and Grenny. These guys did a great job and obviously have the track record to prove it... I just didn't feel that they connected with the audience like Jim Collins and Charlene Li did, especially Charlene Li. She seems to dig right in on the emotional aspects of relationship building, both professionally and personally. Well, that's my input...(for whatever that's worth) and again, great list... definitely a tough one compile but a great one as it sits!
