Breaking Free of Destructive Energy at Work
An interview with Rebecca Ahmed
The most recent State of the Global Workforce Report from the Gallup Organization says that less than one-quarter of the U.S. workforce is engaged at work, and traditional methods to engage workers clearly aren’t working, especially when it comes to attracting and retaining Gen Z workers. Some might say it has always been that way, but it doesn’t need to be, and Rebecca Ahmed is leading the charge to restore energy into work culture.

Why Are So Many Businesses Really, Really Bad At Culture?
An interview with Drew Jones, PhD.
For decades, companies have been spending money on culture and training and have very little to show for it. Why? Because they have been going about it all wrong. They have been ignoring the concept that Drew Jones and others call “the collective brain” which is more organic, a lot easier, and tends to stick a whole lot more easily.
Visit Drew Jones at drewjones.co and his company at Experient.work. He is available on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/amjonesphd/
Drew's book, The Open Culture Handbook: Five Questions to Drive Engagement and Innovation is available wherever books are sold.

The Box of Time
UPDATED January 2023: The Box of Time - Sounds like a science fiction movie, doesn't it? But it's not. At least not here. A box of time is a highly powerful way of influencing people and managing time, simply by managing expectations and giving people an alternative to fearing the unknown. It will allow you to to be left alone to focus, and also get people to show up when you want them to. It will give you some ideas on how to best structure your day and even lighten your load by no longer being the path of least resistance.. As a bonus, you'll even learn a bit about Bonsai trees.
