Dear Andy,

I'm soooo moved by your post! I share the experience you describe both in my years at IBM, where I lived it too, even though it was a different time. Also since I left--- My years now exploring, writing my books on this subject, and working with social media have created the "global candy store" where I am so blessed to work.

Yes, it is DIVERSITY that refreshes and sparks INNOVATION --- the studies prove it, but it happened long before there were studies. It's been there all along waiting for our DISCOVERY. Nature its best role model.

Your JOY in your experience leaps out of your writing (and speaking). I too remain captivated with every by-chance meeting that brings us together across the world. IBM with all its initiatives for good makes me appreciate the gift I had to grow up there. The ready-access we all now have to our world full of DIVERSITY through social media is truly created a grand "global sweet shop".

Thanks for sharing this beautifully written story.

Perhaps a serious hacking attach threat over shades IBM. I've recently noticed some changes in technical sectors of company. Please broadcast the truth.
