Profile Information

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.
What is your interest or involvement in employee engagement?

Where are you located?
Kelseyville, CA (I travel to a client's location to deliver our programs, though.)

The strength and authenticity of your voice has drawn many more voices into the forum conversation you started. 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.

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

Thanks Carol. Yes, let's exchange recipes -- in fact, I'm collecting new recipes for my next cookbook and would be delighted if you would be interested in contributing. Visit my website at http://ronshewchuk.com/ where you'll find a recipes section.

Hey, Carol! Thanks for inviting me to join your network. I'm thrilled that you're using cooking as a teambuilding vehicle and we have something in common. I do the same, but with championship barbecue! Here's a link: http://ronshewchuk.blogs.com/for_your_approval/2006/04/teamwork_throug.html

Carol,
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.

Carol,
I have long been a proponent of team building by the shared preparation of a meal. There is nothing quite like food to bring people together.
Welcome!

Hi Carol,

Do you ever wonder how past leaders could have missed what seems so obvious in hindsight? Sadly, most leaders live in an environment that makes them vulnerable to managerial failure. The problem lies in a little-recognized reality of leadership: iso…

Thanks for sharing this information, Roy. When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…

As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed." There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…

This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.

I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…

Hello Paul: "if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine." I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long. Bob
