Blogger A Day Call: Hello is Jeff there?

The second he started talking, it was easy to see how invested Jeff De Cagna is in his business. He’s out to help associations change the way they look at themselves and how they interpret their responsibilities to society and their members. His quest is to help them see that innnovation is as old as cave people and critical to growth and progress for any thriving enterprise.

Jeff is a guy who brings his heart tn work. Listening to Jeff, you know that he’s always thinking about ways in which he might lead folks to be more proactive and ready to take a strategic risk to invest in themselves. Listening to him talk about this favorite topic, I found myself laughing and enouraging him to breathe every once in a while.

Part of the fun was Googling Jeff’s name and seeing what came up with and without the space between De Cagna. Each entry on both passes offered more history of Jeff’s association career — a career that Jeff says no one sets out to have in the beginning . . . and that I can see some fall in love with and never leave.

Blogger A Day Call: Hello is Ann there?

They say content is king. But I hear the king can be unmanageable. If you’re having a content management problem, do what I did yesterday, call in a content management expert — Ann Michael. Gosh we had fun talking. I’ve been making content all of my career, and I hadn’t met a content manager until Ann. They do some really cool stuff.

In her consulting business, Ann makes sure that misbehaving intellectual property does what it should. Talk to her for five minutes, and you’ll know her real love is helping clients manage change successfully. She’s so positive and centered on the needs of others that you want to check where you might use her this very minute. She says she hasn’t ever had to turn anyone away yet . . .

Ann’s a fascinating person with a sense humor, and a great laugh. Ask her a question and you can hear her thinking how she’s going to help you solve it. It’s so fun that we took this time to talk blogger to blogger.
