I just remembered the following, don't know if it's incorporated yet, but if not, please add it in:

Always use upper and lower case for name tags, etc. Do not use all caps. This is the best way for humans to read.

Note that Coca Cola uses all caps only on the ingredients (which they don't particularly want you to read).

Also, I don't quite know what this means, but I had it in large letters on a single page with nothing else on it: "What is your name?"

Strela, I know we talked about how important peoples' names are to them. To each and every person, the most important words are his own name. I know remembering names, especially in politics, is very important. But, can you think of why I would have written that on its own page?

Quote from Lee Atwater: "You can't teach a kid to ride a bike at a workshop."

Then there's this from my notes, "The Real Nature of Politics: no cookie cutter approach."

Noted all, and I'll add them to the Word file then update the thread.

You don't happen to remember which segment of the conference each of those items were from, do you? I think you noted that the last Lee Atwater quote was from "Real Nature of Politics."

Also, I don't quite know what this means, but I had it in large letters on a single page with nothing else on it: "What is your name?"

... can you think of why I would have written that on its own page?

Perhaps you were making a note to yourself to do that as a team-building exercise, or was distracted by someone else during the "name tag" portion of the lecture. When I take notes, I do the same thing; put what I consider to be important distinctions on their own page, usually with a couple of exclamation points or artwork that jogs my memory to the concept I was trying to remember.

Or, perhaps you were lost in reverie about that incredibly dashing Freeper that walked in during the lecture, just having tucked in his cape and hidden his big red "S" and returning from rescuing a cat from a tree ... ;)
