2010 July E-News
“As a facilitator and advisor to nonprofits, my clients rely on my communications skills daily to move their organizations forward. The training I received through Next Element has taken those skills to a new level! The time spent with Next Element has been invaluable.”
- Ranlyn Tilley Hill, JD, President
Benevolent Vision, Counsel to Nonprofits, Los Angeles, CA
PCM NUGGET
“I use the (PCM) tools daily. I had a 30-minute conversation with my 25-yr old son by using complimentary gestures, tones and body language and being attentive to his – the longest talk we’ve had in years!” (click here to read the rest of the story.)
NE CORNER
We invite you to read Jamie’s latest blog post on Chapter 5 of Daniel Pink’s book, “DRIVE.” We think you’ll get a kick out of it. Some of you may even resonate with her pain! And on your next coffee break, check-out this fun, and educational video by RSA Animate on Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us.
BOOK RECOMMENDATION
Our friend, Judy Young, founder of Laughter Links , shares her review of “DELIVERING Happiness, A Path To Profits, Passion and Purpose,” by Tony Hsieh. Hot off the press, just published 30 days ago, and already on the New York Times Bestseller List! An easy quick read, with a simple message offering great results. (Click here to read Judy’s complete review on our website.)
WHITE PAPER
In the theme of employee motivation and engagement, we invite you to read Nate’s White Paper titled, “The Five Drivers of Employee Engagement.”

HOT WING UPDATE
No hot wings this month. However, I was able to taste a scorpion at the Typhoon Restaurant in the Santa Monica Airport, during a training in the LA area. I’d give them a 5 out of 5 for uniqueness. Not much taste, lots of crunch, definitely original. And, prior to the scorpions, I ate a plate of crickets – equally unique. – JK
