Those who suffer from imposter syndrome, are in good company. Albert Einstein, Michelle Obama, Tom Hanks, and Emma Watson, along with 82% of the rest of us, have wrestled with impostor syndrome. What is it, you may ask? It’s a yammering internal critic that challenges the validity of your successes. That critic’s voice often gets magnified working remotely where managers and team members are not present to help combat it in person.

by Frank Kenny. The membership dues model known as “fair share” is unfair to your members and your chamber. With fair share, every member gets the same features and benefits, yet some pay more than others simply because they have more employees, hotel rooms, or money on deposit. This dues model fails to consider that a business’ wants and needs change over time.

Complexity loves to thwart decision-making. Complexity builds a house of cards, so we feel we can’t move one thing without impacting everything else.

My toddler son dug around in the bathroom drawer and located a deodorant stick. Carefully he placed it on my husband’s side of the sink and started sorting through the drawer again. Finding his prize, he solemnly handed my deodorant to me with these wise words, “Mama, you have to wear your deodorant, and Dada and I use his deodorant because we are mens and you are a girl.” The anecdote is one of the tidbits I captured, and since forgotten in the letters, I’ve been writing

It is what many members want. But during COVID, associations had to think differently about engagement and connection. Online communities became a driving force for many to keep their members connected in a disconnected environment.
