Video didn't kill the radio star - in fact, the "audio"? is making a comeback

January 24, 2019
EARLIER IN 2018, I was having conversations with technology marketing type folks about how to reach the audience they intended. I said - in developing any communications plan on a topic I would include podcasts. "Podcasts, really?" said my colleague incredulously. Yes, I said. My daughter listens to them all the time - in the car, at the gym. It's like a webinar but you can do something else while you're listening - you're not tied to your computer. And it's unlike a webinar because typically - as a presenter - you have full engagement of the audience's sense of hearing and listening. If they're multi-tasking, it's not somewhere else on their computer where their brain is engaged in other knowledge work.

So, I'm sitting here in my study in Allentown, Pennsylvania, awaiting the now infamous Winter Storm Harper. We've got the eggs, the milk, the bread, the flashlights, batteries to run the fireplace, and gas for the snowblower. We will likely never need all of this.

Got Belongingness? It's today's competitive advantage

August 08, 2018
Some of my best and most memorable work experiences have nothing to do with my paycheck or benefits. Happiness and contentment came from a sense of inclusion -- of being part of something important, with people who respected each other, and a sense of resilience that your team would not let you down. It almost calls to mind the happiness and stress-free days of childhood - where we had fun together.
