Following conversations generated through its Morph blog, the Media Center kicked off its We Media Forum today in London. Having attended it last year, it’s a phenomenal event covering the fast-changing media world and implications on business and society. Gloria Pan’s team has extended the boundaries of conference attendance and participation by blogging and streaming the program through the We Media site. I took a quick jump into the site this morning and found Karen Stephenson’s video commentary to be especially relevant adapting to the new media world:

“Ones that are successful are the ones who can let go of what made them secure in the old world. It requires emotional maturity that not many people have, because what brought them to their positions and made them feel secure are exactly the things they need to let go of – and it takes a strong person to do it. Most people can intellectualize through it, or think through it, but they need to behave through it, walk through it, and that is hard work.”
