isn't it nice that i got a coffee card present as one of the newsletter article writers? i think it looks great and can't wait to hand out the copies i have in my hands... the VP PR e-offerred a big thank you for "tremendous contributions... we couldn't have done it without you!"

mr. diversity indeed:

what an inspiration!

do you think i wrecked mr. awesome speaker's ability to stress the point when i put up my hand and guessed 7% of a communication is based on the actual WORDS? i'm proud to have guessed correctly.

he stressed how toastmasters teaches language BEYOND words.

i like his intention/mandate to create an inclusive environment, while dealing with the legacy and what he called the language GAP in the organization, referring really i guess to imbedded mind sets, and images that we respond to in said culture.

80% of the 45,000 employees are women, visible minorities or diversely abled? yet the exective is 80% white as in anglo saxon men?

DO WE ALL WANT TO WORK FOR THIS GUY???
i think we all encourage the state of being different. the human dimension.

incidentally, he does not look old enough to have completed a Masters in Education by 1986.

he is looking for people for his team to figure out the attraction vs. exit trends and work on corrections...

what on earth would be a suitable next step for a keener like me?
