Reflection on #ASAE13: A Tale of Two Meetings
It's been a few days since I left the ASAE meeting in Atlanta. I had a great time, as usual, but there has been one issue that has been bouncing around in my brain since I left. Towards the end of the meeting, I saw this tweet from association exec (and big thinker)...
How Culture Drives Employee Engagement
I had the great honor this week to present with Robert Barnes of Fitness Australia this week at the ASAE Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA. We talked about the work both he and I have done to strengthen the culture at his organization, though I will admit fully he has...

Friday Quote: Free Your Mind
Since I have been asking people to step outside of their comfort zone a little this week, I'll close it out with a quote from Chapter 9 in Humanize, How to Be Courageous. It's from the section on creating a culture that understands and values learning. One of the...
It’s More Than Making Work Better
My last post seems to have struck a nerve with a lot of people (yay!). And I do hope I can get some conversation going, either through comments or other blog posts, from folks within HR. I was serious about being inclusive. But interestingly, the first post that I've...
