Most people don’t give too much thought to what happens in associations, even though hundreds of millions of people worldwide belong to them. But there is a vibrant community of association executives and professionals who manage these organizations, and a growing number of us who blog about the issues and challenges their leaders must confront. I think a broader audience of readers would be very interested to learn more about the conversations we’re having about the future of our community.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Blogging gives me a space where I can be provocative with a purpose. My role as a strategic advisor to associations is to help my clients think differently about the future, and to make leaders feel some discomfort with their current assumptions in the process. The Principled Innovation Blog is one way I try to accomplish this goal.

From Julius Caesar to Donald Trump, from Baby Boomers to Generation Y, from new business trends to tried and true concepts – I’ll explore it. Sometimes educational and informational, sometimes just plain fun!
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
“You may not find the final word on Leadership here, but I promise you’ll always find an honest and educated perspective mixed with an occasional dose of heartfelt sentiment. ”
“My plans were to share my thoughts and insights as another means of establishing my credibilty for potential clients or interested acquaintances. (and of course friends and family, if so inclined) I never realized how many smart, like-minded (and sometimes different-minded) people from all over the world I would encounter in such a short time. ”

My new (four-month old) blog is designed for small businesses who want to learn to create marketing ideas that will help them to stand out from the 740 others in the yellow pages and Google who do exactly what they do.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
My best advice, known by many, remembered by few, is that when you do your marketing, PR or blog, always ask yourself, “So what/who cares?” if you can’t create something that will get people’s attention, don’t bother.

Anne Glamore has been described as the Erma Bombeck of the new millennium, entertaining readers with the adventures of raising three tweenage boys. She’s perfected the male version of the sex talk, and she’s training her boys to scramble eggs, brew coffee and hang up their wet towels so women will want to marry them and get them out of her house.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
“So, let me back up a little. To make a baby, you have to have an egg and some fertilizer. Every month, moms make an egg.”
Finn stared at me in amazement. “Do you lay it?”
“No, I just make the egg inside my stomach, but that’s a good question,” I said, deciding to skip the whole menses part of the talk. “But you should know that it is very hard to make an egg. Sometimes it makes women crotchety. So if I’m in a bad mood you should be sweet to me because inside I am probably working very diligently to make an egg.”
“Don’t take this the wrong way, Mom, but it seems to me like maybe you’ve been making an egg today,” Finn commented.
