- Who are you?
- It's all at jaycross.com, but briefly, my mission is helping workers adapt to changing times and lead productive, fulfilling lives. We once called this training but I now consider most training a waste of time, having discovered how much people learn from one another, from experimentation, and from living a rich life. I promote this concept of informal learning continuously. I've written a book, hundreds of blog posts, and given keynote presentations to anyone who will listen. If you want to know more, just ask. I believe in the karma of sharing with the net.
- What is your interest or involvement in employee engagement?

I actually did have a look on Gallup's 12 Questions, the only worry is that it measures more the enablers of employee engagement than employee engagement itself. I have however grouped the items into themes, and only o...
Not sure if this is the same as the one mentioned but Gallup has 12 Questions that they use.

Hi Maggie,
Acually we have a training module for this exact circumstance. We call it cynics, victims and bystanders it is part of The Conversations Workshop. We wrote a book last year called Authentic Conversations which has a great deal to say ab...
Hi Maggie,
Most 360 software is more expensive then that- at least if you want 360 software that is super easy to set up and comes with preloaded questions and is designed for 360 surveys. (see halogen, sumtotal, etc...)
If you've got your own que...
Beautiful video that makes you think about all the 'moments' in your life.
When you think about it, engagement is all about moments too...when someone takes that brief moment to get to know you, to do something nice for you, etc....in the end- all...

Though I make my living in the Training field, I do believe that you are right when you say "most training (is) a waste of time." If the 70-20-10 maxim is true, most of our learning takes place in-the-doing of our tasks and in-the-living of our lives, at work and elsewhere.
I look forward to much conversation!
Welcome,
Terry
I am very pleased you decided to join us at this employee engagement network, I especially like your "about me." It has a mission, a touch of rant, a lot of learning, and the karma of asking...what more could anyone want.
I visited your site and I will need to return to it as I just scanned it and it looks interesting and informative.
