I had the great pleasure of speaking at the 6th Annual Bridge to Integrated Marketing Conference in DC today. It was a great conference, and I learned a few things that I thought I would share.
First, according to Bryan Dodge, a great speaker, there is a clear problem with people's work life balance. There is too much focus on quantity at work and quality at home. In his opinion, and mine that should be reversed. We should be spending more time at home with our families. If we focused on quality at work, we could do just that!
Second, and also according to Mr. Dodge. We need to start spending more time with energy givers and less with energy takers. Amen Brother!
Third, (this I learned on the treadmill) this country focuses way too much on pop culture and way too little on world needs. Just think, if we would cover the food/clean water crisis in third world countries only a 10th as much as Nancy Grace has covered the Caylee trial we could probably raise enough money to alleviate the problem all together.
Fourth, no matter how many times you say it or how many people know it, there is still a lot of ground work that needs to happen in organizations to improve EXPERIENCE!
Fifth, I continue to be impressed and amazed by the great work that the nonprofits in this world do every day!
