Resolutions are so 20th century. We all know by now that if you want to achieve a goal, you need to do more than merely declare a resolution, you need to develop a habit—for example, a habit to meditate ten minutes in the morning or a habit to go for a walk or run before work. But since you spend most of your time at work, wouldn’t it make sense to develop some new habits that will make you more productive, advance your career, and make life in the office more enjoyable?

New technology makes its way into our lives and businesses faster every year. Unsurprisingly, that will continue in 2018. But since it’s almost impossible to keep up with every tech change that will affect you this year, we’ve collected four that are on our radar.

The weekly list of free educational events for the association community… You’ve almost made to the end of your first week back, hang in there! I spent the holidays weeks coughing, sniffling, and reading books, not blogs, so I don’t have much in the way of reading to share this week. I bought a lot of books too. I’m always on the lookout for good ebooks on sale so I thought I might share some of my finds with you.

One of the great things about being a consultant is that we get to tell people when their baby is ugly without them getting mad at us – hey, they’re PAYING us to tell them when their baby is ugly. Well, your (campaign) baby is ugly. But it’s not your fault! Marketing automation makes it easy for us to “set it and forget it!” You set up the campaign, and your AMS and automation software run in the background, sending notices out on time and to everyone who still hasn

In the association world, we tend to want to treat all our members equally: nobody is more important or special than anyone else. That’s a noble impulse and helpful, up to point. After all, you don’t want your association to seem cliquish, or for any member to feel like there’s no place for her, like the association doesn’t respect or value her.

Not only is it easy, but this format is also a great way to get favorite content back in front of readers. Win, win! But is there a way to make it better? I think so.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past 20 years, it’s that associations don’t always have all the answers. We definitely have some major advantages, not the least of which is that we are highly cooperative and collaborative, not least of which because there’s not a lot of intra-industry competition (i.e., the AICPA and the American Nurses Association have basically zero overlap in audiences).

While I was writing the Most Impactful Article post published earlier this week, I got to thinking about how one big idea emerges from the research data every year. Hmmm… one idea seems like I am not doing any work so let me clarify. Many great ideas emerge from the data but, usually, there’s one overriding idea. An idea so big, I wish I could personally tell everyone in our association community.

As 2017 comes to a close, it is impossible not to acknowledge in what an important, albeit challenging, time we find ourselves. Over the past year we have witnessed not only a change in administration and therefore policy, but there too has been a shift in the ways in which individuals engage in social issues and causes—many of which have been impacted by the new administration and associated policies.
