Hi Catherine - I see Algonquin and I know that's a bit far from the city, but I do hope you can join us on the 25th! (See 9/1 invite) Can you drop me a quick line and let me know if in-person has any interest and if you can join us on the 25h? Tks! Patty
Opportunity for In-Person Networking & Mind Sharing
To: Individuals interested and passionate about Employee Engagement, and local to downtown Chicago, IL area
I sincerely appreciate the information and dialogue found on David Zinger's EE Site! I've spoken with some of the individuals and we have a strong interest in coming together in-person to network, share expertise, and create topic-focused interactive exchanges.
Towards that goal, listed below are details for bringing us together:
Date: Friday, September 25, 10am/CT to Noon/CT
Location: Downtown Chicago Loop location TBD (based upon # responses)
Potential Topic: Given the far-reaching changes across the economy and it's cascading impact to business and people -> Impacts/Opportunities in the EE arena
Cost: None
To obtain an estimate for the number of people, please forward the following by Friday, September 4:
1) Generally, are you interested in connecting in-person? What are some of the desires you would like to achieve from the in-person connection? What value can it bring for you? What ideas/topics are of interest?
2) Can you be there on September 25th at 10am/CT?
I hope you feel as excited as myself for this opportunity! Feel free to pass this along to anyone that would find this valuable.

Ah, the script for a boss! That is easy, but a long way from the traditional one.
First, I suggest the boss do a quick read of Douglas McGregor's "The Human Side of Enterprise" to gain an understanding of the theory behind X and Y. Then commit the…

Great stuff. Particularly like the piece about attacking "internal friction".
I still think the macro issues, namely around what kind of relationships does the organisation wish to have with specific groups/classes of employees need to be c…

Ray Seghers Brainstorming new Blog ideas for 2010.
My view on this is that where you treat employee engagement like a ‘big bang’ corporate change programme it will always carry a significant risk of turning into an ‘organisational Vietnam’. Don’t go to war in the first place!
Do it by taking lots a…
