A famous piece of advice for new moms is, “you can’t take care of someone else without taking care of yourself first,” which is untrue. It is possible (probable, in fact) to take care of someone else and sacrifice yourself in the process. Look at the professions which care for others.

Associations, non-profits, and societies tend to find themselves in the perfect storm of resource-deprivation and program decentralization. This equates to small marketing teams with lean operating budgets working as in-house agencies to a suite of program managers.

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.

In organizations, we tend to think that speed is primarily out of our control. There are only so many hours in a day and what usually slows us down is the time we spend waiting on OTHER people to turn things around for us.
