Accepting Constructive Criticism Is Always Hip
07.20.2005 | Chris Bailey | Focused on Business,WorkSue at Face2Face has been challenged to give her blog a title transformation. What I dig is how it all came about. She, like me, finds the use of Xtreme in ASAE’s Annual Conference title Xtremely tired and unhip (actually, it all reminds me of that old Simpson’s episode where they try to hip up Itchy and Scratchy by introducing Poochie; not so good idea then, definitely not so good idea now).
Well, a humble reader submitted that Sue’s use of the ’2′ in her blog title was just as old. The really neat part is that she agrees and has risen to the challenge to find something new. She’s opening up the floor to suggestions.
It all just reminded me of the beauty of the blog and the potential for our associations and businesses. All it took was one person to suggest a change to set the wheels in motion. As leaders, can we be open to any and all comments (even those that strike us as xtremely negative…sorry) from our custo/members and consider making changes?

Hi Chris,
Unfortunately, no one’s come up with anything better (although I’m kinda partial to E-vent–what do you think?), and the poll showed a clear majority said to leave it as is, so I’m dropping for now.
I’ll probably revisit in a bit, when that “2″ starts making me crazy, instead of just mildly annoyed!
But you’re right–this is what I love about blogging!
