[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Okay, so maybe you use a pen name. Like Shazam Marvel.
"So we got another motivational speaker or something?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"What's his name?"
"Shazam Marvel."
"...
"So, what? He's gonna pull improved performance out of a hat and saw our losses in half?"
But when it comes time to bee-kneeify it, the CS rep who takes your call is probably under-trained, frustrated and has no incentive whatsoever to give forth with knees for any insect, flying or otherwise. And even if they did desire to kneeify your bee, they probably aren't allowed to...that would cost honey. I mean, money.
If I were still an organizational development consultant I would totally stealask permission to use this. I'm totally with Aimee about its awesomeness.
And MM, I wish you WOULD become that consultant. That is a need I'm sure you could find people to pay to have met. It might, however, require a lot of travel.
Raq's idea is a great one as well. Well thought out. Maybe you could partner with a VC and entrepreneurial sort so that you could just do the part you enjoy.
That interview with Mike Rowe linked to yesterday is a great case study in how an excellent idea like call center consulting could take off.
"So, what? He's gonna pull improved performance out of a hat and saw our losses in half?"
Clearly, you have not been on the OD speaking circuit! People would totally pay bucks to hear about even the promise of this. And the snappy name? All the better.
Why is Malcolm Gladwell doing keynotes for major corporations? Not because he has a degree in organizational anything.
For goodness sake, The Dog Whisperer speaks on corporate platforms!
LOVE the new hair, Aimee! And how much do I miss seeing that 10000 watt smile in person? Sooooo much.
And the snappy name? All the better.
Be an interesting way to open the lecture:
"I almost called myself Shazam Marvel. Thought it'd be snappy.
But then I sobered up."
And how much do I miss seeing that 10000 watt smile in person? Sooooo much.
It misses you, too.
I need to come home to LA soon.

You don't scare me. I've faced the narrow-eyed glares of HR Management before and come away alive and unscathed.
Fired, but alive and unscathed.
