Profile Information
- Who are you?
- I believe that the only way to create change is to change the level of engagement of leaders, team members and customers. I too believe that engagement is about the connection. The strength of the connection affects the level of engagement. I also know first hand that disengagement at "work" is usually and indicator that disengagement exists in other areas of life.
I am a speaker, trainer and the author of Ready,Set, Engage: Create Dynamic Teams and Unwavering Customer Alliances.
- What is your interest or involvement in employee engagement?
- I work with leaders to help them move from disengaged and overwhelmed to engaged, energized and impacting. Typically, my clients are at crossroads and need to quickly engage. Peer to Boss, New Team Leader, Employee to Business Owner

I think recognising your staff becomes all the more important in today's climate of budget cuts, pressures and downsizing. We all want to feel valued, both as employees and human beings, and to have someone else say 'thank you, your continued supp...
Hi Leigh
I am an Employee Engagement Specialist in the department of Organizational Effectiveness. I work for a company about the size that you are looking for. We began kicking off employee engagement surveys last April. As of now we have a year...

Teach your employees how to Manage Up: Some people think this is brown nosing, but it's really about helping your boss understand who you are.
Angela,
I think recognition is always essential but we have to look at the deeper reason why. Reward and recognition confirms value. Every human being wants to know, "Does my life matter?" This is the questions we help answer when we reward and re...
Be real, don't use jargon, and be honest. If something is going to hurt people would rather be prepared!
Strive to engender trust by doing what you say and say what you do.
