2011 was a crazy year. Maddie and I wrote a book, which certainly ranks as my top accomplishment for the year. And we did it while holding down full time jobs! I am thrilled with the feedback we’ve been getting (we’re up to 15 reviews on Amazon!). And the first few keynotes and webinars I’ve [...]

Monday, December 19, Maddie and I will be interviewed by Michelle Price on her “Breakthrough Business Strategies” radio program, talking about our Humanize book. You’ll be able to listen either online or on the phone, and I think you can submit questions via twitter, using the hashtag #BBSradio. And if you haven’t picked up your [...]
Continue ReadingThat is the topic of a session I will be delivering at ASAE’s Technology Conference next week. As you may have guessed, I will be drawing heavily on the Humanize book for this one. In fact, this will be the first in-person presentation on the book for the association crowd. We’re told they will also [...]
Continue ReadingMaddie and I were recently interviewed by George Breden of TMA Resources about our book, Humanize. George does a weekly video news show for TMA Resources, called Association Tech News. This week’s edition includes a brief clip from the interview, but they also posted the whole thing (embedded below). It’s about 10 minutes long and [...]
Continue ReadingI have to admit, I’ve been a bit like a kid the week before Christmas waiting for the launch of our book, Humanize.

Continue ReadingMaddie and I have created a page for our new book on Facebook. Please stop by and “like” the page. We recognize that tons of people get a lot of their information these days from their Facebook streams, so we’re hoping to show up there as well. As I write this, we have 99 likes [...]
Continue ReadingOkay, the countdown timer has started for #ASAE11 in St. Louis. My mind is now getting focused on preparations, packing, dry cleaning, and scheduling. It’s always so much to fit into such a short amount of time. There are so many sessions I want to go to, so many people I want to hang out [...]
Continue ReadingIt’s time to get geared up for the ASAE Annual Meeting in St. Louis. I’m on the agenda this year, though it’s not a typical session for me. I am facilitating a “town hall” meeting for the Young Association Executives Committee (Monday afternoon). So if you’re a YAE (or curious to see what YAE’s think), [...]
Continue ReadingAfter six years, I finally redesigned the blog! True, many people read the blog posts in a reader, so they don’t even see the actual blog site, so redesign never made it up on my priority list. But it’s not 2006 any more, and particularly with the upcoming launch of my first commercially published book, [...]
