Mountain Unicycling: Now That's An Engaging Activity!!!

Thought this was most relevant and David's been after me to post more about this activity of mine. I wrote an article about it on my blog about what makes it SO engaging. Because it definitely is. I NEVER get left alone on that thing! That's why I have to ride it in the toughest trails in the mountains!

Anyway, the article is here... http://learnthis.ca/2008/10/mountain-unicycling-not-thats-an-engaging-act… Continue

My blog is elsewhere, but employee engagement is here...

Well, I don't write strictly on employee engagement much at my regular blog site, which is Learn This. However, I do write quite a lot of related articles and many about management and leadership skills in the workplace and one recently was about promoting employee engagement in the workplace.

This network has made it, anybody who can engage life on one wheel and maintain balance, perspective, momentum, and engaement belongs here. You have much to teach us. I hope you will post a video of the one wheel moving mountains.

I appreciate you joining. I will be in Calgary in July from July 20 to July 31. I am taking a 10 day improvisation course with Keith Johnstone. Seems to me you would be good at that.

David

Thanks a lot for your help ! 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. http://www.workforce.com/section/09/article/23/53/40.html

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...
