NEW WEEKLY BLOG ENTRY FOR YOU!
In August I was asked by Unity Media Group to fly to California to film a series of segments for a new website called IQuestions.com. It was an amazing experience to film nearly eighty 3 to 5 minute answers to questions about my areas of expertise, simply speaking to a camera!
We filmed for three days with a professional Hollywood crew, and the result is a series of questions and answers that I hope will be helpful to you in your work and your life. Starting February 26th, we will feature one new video question and answer each Monday on the blog for the next two years. Please let us know how you are enjoying them.
Here is what Unity Media Group has to say about my work:
(Boise, ID) January 23, 2008 – Barbara Glanz, whose motto is “Spreading Contagious Enthusiasm”, is out to change the corporate world, one person at a time. “Even though your work may not always be joyful, you can still create an atmosphere of caring, creativity and joy,” says Glanz, a fireball who has spoken at events with some of the most successful CEOs and authors in the country, including authors Rick Warren (“The Purpose-Driven Life”), Ken Blanchard (“One Minute Manager”), Former Chief Operating Officer Don Soderquist of Wal-Mart, Lou Holtz, the former Notre Dame coach, and CEO Dan Cathy of Chick-fil-A.
Her work as an author, philosopher and motivational speaker has taken her to seven continents and all 50 states. Barbara’s partnership with iQuestions.com brings her wisdom and experience to the world, via HD video 24/7.
“A joyful workplace may not be at the top of a CEO’s list,” stated Glanz. “But it should be. It improves motivation, retention and productivity. It’s directly related to the bottom line.”
“Studies show that only about 15% of U.S. workers give their best to their employer; another 10% are burned out,” Glanz says. “What would happen if the 75% to 80% who are left were excited and inspired to give their very best to your company?” she asks.
Glanz answers questions such as:
I tend to let others influence how I behave at work. How can I take control?
How can I improve communication in my workplace?
How can I get my life back in balance?
What are some ways to create a healthy work environment?
In her answer to the question: “What difference can I make if I am only a frontline worker?”, Barbara briefly shares the story of “Johnny the Bagger” and the difference one person can make. The DVD “Johnny the Bagger” and book “The Simple Truths of Service”, co-written by Ken Blanchard and Barbara Glanz, has touched millions of lives.
