Org-Fitness Today!

What is it I do?

Recently someone called me and was asking what I did for work. They knew I had the MSOD degree from Pepperdine University however they wanted to know more specifically.

Some of my friends think I do fitness related work within organizations. That would be nice, however it's not the case. Certainly fitness is a serious interest of mine, however that's not what I do everyday as a vocation.

So as I talked on the phone with this person, I described what I do:

"I am an organizational consultant who uses his training in OD consulting to provide management and leadership development training to organizations. I often times bring to my clients expertise and experience in team building, communication and dealing with strategic change. Additionally I provide executive coaching using assessments to provide a developmental framework for my clients."

After I finished the call and it went on for a while as we discussed this and some of the challenges this person was facing in their work environment, I realized this was a pretty good summary of what I do. For this reason, I wanted to capture it. We all have our niches and areas of expertise, this is mine.

LinkedIn Partners with Typepad

Typepad sent out an e-mail update today talking about some new features. One that was featured, their new association with LinkedIn. LinkedIn is an up and coming business and professional service that allows people to create a professional profile. Read more about it here. There's a new widget that allows you to show your LinkedIn profile on your Typepad site.

I guess I was ahead of the curve on this one, I joined LinkedIn about a week ago and put the link to my profile up earlier this week. You can read my profile by clicking on the LinkedIn logo on the upper left side of my site.
