Profile Information
- Who are you?
- First off- that is my son Marcus in my profile photo. I am not that good looking.
Did a patch of fresh wet cement ever tempt you? Did the impulse to leave behind your name or hand imprints tempt you? The ability to create a legacy for all to see?
What opportunities are afforded to us as leaders to leave our legacy? How do we express our leadership?
My name is Conrad Cone and until last week was the Manager of Leadership and Training Development for Fiver Media. I have also held positions as an organizational consultant, Training Supervisor for eBay, Director of Learning and Development at Ipsos North America and the Director of the Leadership and Team Development Center at The University of British Columbia.
I believe people should come before process. That by aligining our personal values to corporate values we can find the magic that makes us engaged. By finding out what is most important to us and looking for creative ways to do more of this at work.
- Where are you located?

I'm glad you added info to About Me. I can relate to being downsized. It sucks. But it also brings opportunity.
I also love your comment on how the magic of engagement occurs: "I believe people should come before process. That by aligining our personal values to corporate values we can find the magic that makes us engaged. By finding out what is most important to us and looking for creative ways to do more of this at work."

Thanks for the chuckle. I looked at that pic and burst out laughing.
Good way to use humor to engage!

You look very young to join our network but perhaps you have a gen-z perspective on things. I hope you'll let us know about your involvement and interest in employee engagement and watch out that you tongue does not catch a fly.
