My For Immediate Release Interview

On Friday, I was interviewed by Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson of the For Immediate Release podcast.  The interview is now available for download, and I hope you'll take some time to check it out.  (It is 55 minutes in length.)

For those of you who listen to my podcast, Associations Unorthodox, you know that I met Shel at the International Association of Business Communicators conference in DC in late June.  Shel introduced himself as "a big fan" of my podcast, which was a truly thrilling thing to hear, because until that point I wasn't sure whether anyone other than my friends were listening.  It was a very exciting moment for me, and I was even more excited by Shel's interview invitation.  I hope I didn't disappoint him and I hope you'll enjoy the conversation!  I look forward to your feedback and pushback...

I heard your interview on FIR just yesterday. I'm the President of our New York chapter of IABC. Some of your comments intrigued me, and in my concern for a successful, sustainable NY IABC community I wondered what your thoughts might be about a chapter getting a bearing on its compass point, so to speak, to keep our group focused and aligned. Yet, it's a challenge. Focus groups, surveys, pulse polls, requests for responses don't seem to engage them. Yes, it's largely a silent group - probably for a host of very rationale reasons. Yet, as I end my term and get ready to hand off leadership to the next board I am feeling very ambivalent and I would like to clarify what our direction has been. I guess I'm floundering a bit!
