It's Hard to See Culture
Maddie and I had a great conversation last night with Craig Honick, of Sector Intelligence, about the topic of culture. As a researcher, Craig has expertise on identifying and telling the story of culture in organizations and markets, and Maddie and I talk a lot about...
Humanize on Facebook
Maddie and I have created a page for our new book on Facebook. Please stop by and "like" the page. We recognize that tons of people get a lot of their information these days from their Facebook streams, so we're hoping to show up there as well. As I write this, we...
What Is Generative?
Last week Maddie and I had our first public conversation about the Humanize book at the ASAE Annual Meeting in St. Louis. We did an unofficial session in their "flash learning lounge" with about 15 people during the last time slot at the conference. It was really fun,...

Generational Diversity in 50 Minutes
That's all the time I was allotted to present on Generations at the Florida Society of Association Executives meeting last week: 50 minutes. So I had to cut some material, because lately I've been doing three-hour trainings on the topic. But hey, I like constraints!...
#ASAE11 Unsession on Humanize: Reader Input
It's time to get geared up for the ASAE Annual Meeting in St. Louis. I'm on the agenda this year, though it's not a typical session for me. I am facilitating a "town hall" meeting for the Young Association Executives Committee (Monday afternoon). So if you're a YAE...
Generations: the Hype Still Reigns
I've been reminded recently that there is still a whole lot of crap out there on generations. Pardon my French, but I would have thought that today, a full six or seven years since the Millennials brought our attention (again) to generational differences (remember the...
