This is a great year for the Company of Experts - we are celebrating 20 years serving organizations and people - just like you. It has been a great experience for us and the Experts on Call. Special thanks to Nancy Stetson who started this company in her home.
We feel so fortunate to hear from so many of you. We appreciate you sharing the terrific things that you are doing both personally and professionally. You tell us that you are working and living appreciatively, focusing on your strengths. But, it is tough sometimes when the airwaves are filled primarily with negative news. We have wondered what we can do - we have started a group on Linkedin for our AIFT graduates. We invite you to join us and share your stories of life, connections, compassion and creativity.

| Where Does Change Begin? |
We received this note from a new manager with whom Ray Wells, Expert on Call and I had the pleasure of working with: "This time last week, I was sitting here with a workshop session to organize in 4 days but no budget in hand. I was almost hopelessly helpless until the two of you turned up. One has worked even in the weekend in search of an experienced speaker with exceptional strength to engage people even over conference calls. One has put together a presentation within a couple of days, travelled the distance and got a group in four locations as engaged as possible via only a video conference. This might be the dedicated and professional way you've always worked, but it meant so much to me, who has just started a new assignment in a foreign land for two weeks. Without either of you, I don't how how I could have tackled the task."
This manager is works at a large multi-national company. They are beginning a year of planning in this new economy with employee engagement as the new vision. The inquiry was to see if the Company of Experts could send an experienced AI facilitator to their HR managers meeting that was scheduled four days later for an introductory training? And, by the way, they had no funding so they would like a sample training, free of charge. What I have learned over the years, is that the AI community is so giving. But, still...so, I sheepishly called the nearest AI facilitator and Expert on Call, Ray Wells. Ray arranged to provide a first rate AI intro and more. The company determined for now, with their limited time and budget, they will task their managers to read about strengths based employee engagement, conduct online assessements and begin to engage their employees in this manner.
We are so appreciative that we made a difference for this manager. The resilience and flexibility of our Experts on Call is a signature strength of the Company of Experts. |

| Join the AIFT Group on Linkedin |
|
We have started a group on Linkedin - a social networking site as a place to share how we are making a difference in our personal lives, in our volunteering and at work. This started as a way for those who have attended the four-day AIFT to have a place to share and encourage others in this time of challenge. We invite those who are new to AI or who have no experience or knowledge to join us as well. If you would like to join this group please email Kathy and she will send you the connection. |
