All kinds of organizations—Fortune 500s, startups, and associations—are hiring fractional executives. Fractional CIOs, CMOs, COOs, and even CEOs split their time across multiple client organizations. You get their expertise for a fraction of their time—and a fraction of what you’d pay a full-time executive. Fractional executives are consultants who don’t just tell you what to do; they help you get it done.

Sometimes it’s not about the money. Sometimes it can’t be. “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.” – Maya Angelou. Strangely, I run into more pushback from folks when they hear me say “it’s not about the money” than one would think.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

How shopping for an association is a lot like buying a toaster on Amazon. Online purchases for all consumer goods are at an all-time high. Prospective members are used to finding everything from the best-rated camera to the safest car seat online, so it’s no surprise they’re using similar “shopping tactics” to decide on joining your association.
