'I had the great honor this week to present with Robert Barnes of Fitness Australia this week at the ASAE Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA. We talked about the work both he and I have done to strengthen the culture at his organization, though I will admit fully he has done a lot more work on it than I have. Long before he read Humanize, Rob was crafting a culture around a phrase that staff had coined–TeamCool–in order to get better performance.

'I just learned something new about hotels and WiFi. The current system isn’t just a money grab, it’s also a capacity issue. I’m annoyed when hotels charge high fees for WiFi in conference meeting rooms. I’m not talking about guest room or lobby access, I’m referring to a strong WiFi signal during meetings so that attendees can research and multitask during sessions.
