Increasing Employee & Client Engagement

When a performer is on stage, they are acting out a given set of circumstances.  They try to set the mood, the tone and express it in a genuine way that will draw you into their world.  The best ones can blur the lines of reality.  By doing this they engage you.  They get you to sit on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next.

I got so many responses from my blogging topics last week about wanting more information about what to write about, writing effectively & how to engage readers.  Thank you for all the feedback.  It sounds like a lot of people are on this journey and well on their way.   I decided to write a couple of posts to offer some thoughts and hopefully get some of your thoughts. 

I should be upfront, I am no means a writer or a journalist.  So I may not help editorially.  By the way I write, I am sure many wonder if English is my first language.     Yes, I do try to write in a very simple style. 

My wife wonders all the time… even though I got my MBA,  if I did in fact graduate from elementary school and am I smarter than a 5th grader…  I am a father of a 4 year old and all the parents out there know what I am about to say. The parents end up watching the shows with their child.  I am watching Super Why, Sid the Science Kid, Word Girl and all the other PBS shows on TV… so maybe a lot of that rubs off on me.  I catch myself all the time singing the songs or humming the themes.  If I do it in public and catch myself, I usually catch the eye of another parent and that little smile on their face.

I am a teacher at heart…  I love trying to take complicated things and break it down into bite size easy to swallow topics.  That is my style.  It is not for everybody.  The people who like my style may enjoy my work.  Those who are doctors and lawyers may not.  That is OK.  I have to be true to myself and who I am.  You can not please everyone, every time, all the time.

I hope you enjoy some of the topics and will try to share some resources that will guide you in your journey.  Let the Show Begin…
