What if Employees are Resistant?
Maddie and I delivered the first of four webinars about the Humanize book, being offered through our Publisher, Que. This one included 10 tips for being more open as an organization. At the end of the webinar, we had one brave soul ask us a question, and it was an...
The Easiest Way to Start Humanizing
You've probably heard me say this before, but Maddie and I are activists. While we love to write and think big thoughts, we are ultimately not satisfied until what we are doing actually helps people to do things differently. To make change. To impact their world. This...
Ten Tips to Creating More Open Organizations
Next week, Maddie and I are offering a FREE webinar that covers the "Open" chapter of Humanize. It is the first in a four-part series (the other three will cover Trustworthy, Generative, and Courageous). We'll give you some actionable ideas for moving the needle in...

On the Road
I am off to Chicago and Antwerp this week. On Tuesday morning, I'll be doing the opening keynote at the annual meeting of IHRIM, the association for the Human Resource Information Management industry. The title of my talk is "Unlocking the Power of Human...
Strategy and Context
