About Me: (Please let us know about you and also add a picture to your profile).: In one of my first jobs - back in October of 1977 - I had some ideas about changes we could make to improve profit. With the help of my brother I developed a business case and then met with my manager. I was pumped...until about 3 seconds after I shared my idea with him when he looked me in the eyes and said "I didn't hire you to think!" I responded by telling him he was an idiot for thinking that way and then I quit telling him I was going to spend a good chunk of my life proving that in fact he was an idiot....his boss asked how I would pay for school and then offered to keep me around on a different shift (midnights and afternoons so I could afford to go to university....now I have a great deal of fun helping companies "communicate" with staff so as to engage them fully...and when I am not doing that I play golf and seek out good, inexpensive wines....

What is your involvement in employee engagement?: I work as a communication and engagement consultant...see "about me"

While the golf was great (I even managed a few decent roun… Continue

Love it. Like the conch from Golding's 'Lord of the Flies', but more civilized.

I'm intrigued about the name "The Orange Chair". I'd love to hear the story behind that name...

I could not resist I did a first read of the article. Would it be possible to make a copy of this and share in a workshop with full credit to you and your site?
