    We submitted a “Sharing Our Success” (SOS) best practice for our VP of Finance Succession Planning process, and achieved CORE compliance for 2011undefinedso we are being acknowledged with this honor!  The Chapter Recognition Committee was impressed with our submission because it is an example of best practice onboarding when it comes to your VP of Finance. This method ensures that nothing slips through the cracks and also provides the individual in that position with a clear directive on his/her goals.

    Because of this award, our chapter received a Free ASTD Learning System, a cash prize, a letter of recognition from the President & CEO of ASTD National, Tony Bingham, and recognition in a number of National websites and newsletters!  We’re excited to announce this award to all of you!

    This demonstrates that your current Board of Directors work very hard to create and implement best practices for the field of workplace learning and its professional ASTD chapter.  Thank you for your support and sharing in our excitement!

    The human mind is capable of fantastic things. Once new material or skills are learned and the mind is changed, it never goes back to its original shape. The challenge for trainers is to create an environment and deliver information that taps into the full potential of a learner’s brain. This can be done through novelty, change, and many other concepts that brain-based researchers have found enhances the ability to acquire, retain and recall information.

    About the Book:

    Embrace connectivity, increase empowerment, and achieve better work-life blending

    We live in a new age of global companies, hyper-access to information, and accessibility to tools that enable us to bring any idea life. Strangely, our workplaces are lagging behind the promise of this open and collaborative world. Most organizations are rule-based, top-down, dreary environments optimized for conformity and little else. The Work Revolution creates a compelling portrait of a different kind of work.

    "I believe freedom in the workplace is worth fighting for and every person and every organization can be excellent."

    Julie Clow articulates the rules we follow today in our work force, the reasons they no longer work, and what we can do instead. The Work Revolution deconstructs the magic behind thriving, liberated organizations (such as Google) into clear principles that any individual, leader, and organization can adopt to create sustainable and engaging lives.

    • Provides actionable changes anyone can make, regardless of where they work, to create a more sustainable work-life blend
    • Details concrete ways to influence existing organizations to change
    • Guides leaders to make tangible changes in their teams to enable greater autonomy and impact
    • Outlines organizational culture principles that support and nurture high-performance and healthy environments, providing clear options for instituting cultural change based on specific organizational challenges

    Rejecting productivity Band-Aids and quick fixes, The Work Revolution conceptualizes a completely new workplace that embraces the always-connected reality to create organizations in which high achievers can sustainably thrive.
