Profile Information

Who are you?: I'm a consultant with 20+ years experience in employee communications. I'm the author of Writing and Editing the Internal Publication: Delivering Employee Communications with Impact, Integrity and Style and the host of For Your Approval, a blog devoted to employee communications. http://ronshewchuk.blogs.com/

Over the years I've been involved with several corporate engagement programs and I'm passionate about this subject.

I'm also passionate about southern-style barbecue, and I think I'm the only person who offers an all-day corporate team-building workshop based on championship barbecue.

What is your interest or involvement in employee engagement?: I develop and help implement communication strategies for organizations who are looking to improve employee engagement.

At 7:28am on March 11, 2008, Jennifer Schulte said…: Thank you again, Ron! I've read Good to Great, and just finished two others that are engagement-related called "Influencer" and "Crucial Conversations" by Kerry Patterson. Not sure if those are on your list? I'll definitely check into your other recommendations!

I am glad you took up my suggestion to join and I see there is lots of interaction already and Jennifer found your review. Thanks for having such a good impact right off the bat.

At 4:20pm on March 10, 2008, Jennifer Schulte said…: Thank you Ron ... I can appreciate your insights and echo the initial 'Whaaa?' after reading that passage you shared! I'm always looking for a few nuggets of best practice from the outside world, sounds like this book delivers quite a bit of that if you can get past the language. I might make the investment ... but won't plan to read cover to cover on my next flight!

Any other books you can recommend along these lines are appreciated. ?
