A(nother) Redesign And Some Humble Pie14 May

My name is Chris and I have a slight problem. I like to change my blog site designs. I tend to change them like Dan Snyder changes football coaches. But I hope this one holds me for a while. It definitely has a lot going for it…and will help deliver a superb overall user experience. One [...]

Why Stalk When You Can Twitter?12 Mar

Update 05.15.07: Yes, the twitterings to the right are for real. After taking a good look at twitter, I now see it has potential for good as well as minor evil. That’ll teach me to go off on a rant without fully understanding the source of the rant. Lesson learned. I try not to go off-theme [...]

Coming Back To Life02 Oct

Yep, I’m returning from a long, but much needed hiatus and feeling all the better for it. It’s amazing what a little change in scenery can do. In our case, we exchanged the go-go-go hyperdrive environment of Washington DC for the (relatively) laidback pace of Austin TX. Sometimes our body, soul, and mind just needs [...]

An Extended Hiatus07 Aug

Friends and readers, I am alive and well, but its looking like I need to take a break from blogging for a little while longer. Our 1500 mile move from Virginia to Texas went great and now its time to focus on settling into our new home. Don’t worry…there will be more WorkPlay coming soon, doubtlessly [...]

I Don’t Like RSS And Newsreaders21 Apr

See, here’s the thing…most of us take great pride in creating an interesting, provocative, web experience through our blogs. But, if you only get your blog content from a newsreader, you miss the whole experience. It’s kinda like listening to your favorite band on AM radio…the sound is there, but it’s less than an optimal [...]

A New (New) Beginning With Some More Changes05 Mar

Okay, okay…if you’re wondering what in the hell is going on, you’re probably not alone. I kind of wonder the same thing at times. I’ve made an about face and ended the experiment which was Drupal. Too much trouble and too much work. I never felt comfortable with the interface and many of the plugins needed [...]

Where Ya Been Hiding?18 Jan

The blogging has been sparse lately and for that I apologize. It’s the result of having a few extra irons in the fire. The day work for my association has required a new intensity in the past couple of weeks. As we enter a new year, my CEO and Board are placing greater emphasis on [...]

Warmest Thanksgiving Thoughts24 Nov

My friend Kevin Holland linked to a brilliant idea and one very appropriate for today: thank your first commenter. I remember my first comment and commenter so very well. It was Curt Rosengren and it was he who made a significant impact on whether this blog would keep going. Up to that point, I had [...]

A Thought On The Box23 Sep

I went to a facilitors workshop this morning and the one thing that the presenter just kept hammering away at was the need to "think outside the box." Can we bury this overused phrase now? Pretty Please? Seriously, if you find that it’s necessary to think outside the box, you better take a good look [...]

Profile

I help business leaders and their organizations improve how they relate to their customers, employees, and other critical stakeholders. It’s born out of my belief that individuals crave meaningful relationships and want to be involved with companies that connect with them personally. I’m devoted to helping organizations discover the unique qualities that make them remarkable.

I’m currently a Master’s student at the University of North Texas studying business anthropology.
