Dear [Valued Customer/Wrong Name], I have a hunch that being greeted like that made you feel more like a machine than the living, breathing, unique, and invaluable human that you are. Wouldn’t you say? Now, as a consumer in 2019, how much generic and lifeless content are you hoping to, well…consume? My guess would be little to none, but you’ll still run into it, whether it’s in your inbox or your social feeds.

How do you overcome resistance to change? No matter the audience, profession, or industry this has been one of the most common questions I've encountered this year. Resources that offer insight are abundant. My sampling of them finds that they tend to focus on how to overcome objections or conquer the resistance. Anecdotally most, but not all, seem to frame the issue as a win-lose proposition and offer counsel on how to ensure your proposed changes win against those who oppose them.

Technology has paved the way for innovative methods of generating non-dues revenue while providing significant value to your members.

It is November 2017 and I am boarding a flight home from a conference in the USA. I was tired and feeling like s**t. It had not been a great year at work, in my own head and physically and psychologically I was not in a great place. I spent most of the year not caring about what I ate or drank; whether I exercised or not; and, feeling like I was going in circles.

I’ve written in the past about cognitive biases and how they can affect our judgment. One that I didn’t mention in that article is the recency effect , which I find can have an adverse effect on data management, or more importantly, how we don’t use data as well as we should. The recency effect essentially says if you have, say, a list of numbers, you’ll remember the last few and the first few, but the middle of the list is quickly forgotten.

Members are calling each week, presenting their problems, their self-doubts, their questions about the strategy, their fears about whether the program works — and if it does work, whether it will work for them. Although it’s important to challenge your members to expand beyond their comfort zones, if your calls are one doubt after another, you are sowing discontent, frustration, and disappointment.
