Voting...The American Way

It seems the American way of showing approval or disapproval of a person or product has once again worked. My trusted blog sydication service was VOTED...not needed anymore. The good news is, I've found an even better service. BlogPatrol will allow me to know exactly who is reading my blog. I'll know everything shy the persons social security number. This is great data to have. Knowing who reads my blogs will enable me to craft targeted messages. If it turns out people from differnt countries like Korea, Sudan, or maybe even Georgia are subscribing, maybe I could add a few words in that language. Not sure where this will go, but I'm VERY excited to see who is reading and more importantly how often.

Don't Forget To VOTE!

Be American and VOTE!

Motivation - A New Broadcast Task II

Well...I took all of the advice from you...and a lot from a good friend of mine, Keith Reed and I think the class went very well. For sure I was motivated. In the process of preparing for this class I came up with another "Chris Eder tip of the day!" I shared my 20-60-20 rule. I believe only 20% of our current broadcaster pool really want to be broadcasters. 60% are along for the ride, and the last 20% is waiting for someone in the first 20% to show them how. Now, these numbers aren't exact science, rather another tool I can use to try and shake things up...stir the pot...and hopefully motivate folks to get fired up about being a broadcaster in the AF.

Motivation - A New Broadcast Task

I'm working on a guided discussion class on how to motivate for a class I'm teaching/coaching/leading/mentoring with my good friend Chris Vadnais. Here is our motivation...behind the motivation:

Our career field, Broadcast Journalist merged with two other career fields: Videography and Graphics. For the first time, there is a possibility our co-workers may or may not want to be apart of this new job. Additionally, there are many perceptions, desires, work-flow issues, fears...that could affect the work climate. The bottom line there are folks at every echelon who may or may not want to be doing what they're slated to do. This is a challenge.

I ask you...my friends, champions of truth, knowledgable sages for help. What topics should we make sure we discuss? How do we capture the need for supervisors to make sure everyone is on-board? How do we mentor the supervisor who doesn't believe? How do we mentor the worker who doesn't believe?
