Hi everyone,
I wanted to give you some information on what I am about and let you get to some free downloads of articles and a radio interview you may find of real value.
First the formal bio if you want it. Click here.
When in my early 30s I founded a now 27-year-old organizational effectiveness firm, The Schuster Kane Alliance (www.skalliance.com). We are known for our ability to tap underutilized intellectual and emotional capital. I got into this to make a living so I could support myself and my kids, and wanted to take a run at making businesses work for everyone: the leaders, the employees, the customers, the community, the shareholders. In case you haven't noticed, there is still work left to do.
What I do now is give workshops and inspirational speeches on issues like the greening of the planet, leadership, on living your calling. I help leaders and teams, from all the sectors - business and government and non-profits - translate their innate emotional intelligence into improved work environments. And with my colleagues, I address the questions of financial and business literacy with a board game/simulation we created (www.profitandcash.com), now played by over 400,000 people, as it empowers them to understand the enterprise and the world around them.
I live in Kansas City and Columbus Ohio, and New York City at this point in my life, and hang out with my kids and grandkids, my friends and my clients.
A few of my alliances:
I have written several books, including Answering Your Call: a guide to living your deepest purpose (Berrett Koehler 2003 – www.bkpub.com) and am working on a new one.
Now, about those downloads I mentioned:
Guilty, Scared, Responsible? An article about how people respond to the green challenges
Executive Evocateurs An article accepted by AMA on the power and methods of developing others
Beyond the Velcro Approach A classic from ASTD Journal on developing in the second half of life
A radio interview on the human spirit at work on "Good Business"
Encore Presentation - with interviewers Drs. Charlotte Shelton and Martha Lynn
Leave your email if you want--I won't share it with anyone. Promise. I do occasional newsletters and you can be on the list if you want by clicking here.
