- Who are you?
- I have been involved with employee development and education since my return back to the US from the UK in 1994.
My prior life was in Marketing and Sales for Lexmark International, Ltd. and IBM (UK) Ltd.
I am passionate about what makes people tick (especially myself) and am always looking for ways to help everyone reach their highest potential (including myself.)
I'm a fitness enthusiast, having just recently (well, 2 years ago. "Recent" changes once you reach the half-century mark, eh?) discovered Bikram Yoga. And, I am one of four members in the jazz acappella vocal quartet "EarReverence."
I, naturally, also love to cook.

Hi Lois, my last organisation did some work around 'fair process'. They had some wonderful case studies around this sort of issue. They had three key elements which I though summed up nicely what could be done.

I gave it a good mention in the email newsletter and it is refreshing to see a number have read it and commented on it. Thanks for such a fabulous contribution to the employee engagement network.

I just noticed the new photo you have offered us, with the dolphin. How cool! You both look like you are having fun.

It is fantastic that we have 139 members already in under 7 weeks. Just imagine if we keep growing like that what we can accomplish collectively for employees, leaders, organizations, customers, and even ourselves.
