play in building a culture of engagement, and how a focused effort for both can dra- matically improve an organization. Organizations across the nation have been using his ideas to enhance the way people


engage others, it is important for all employees to first consider their own level of engagement. Every day we walk through the doors of our office we are either adding to or taking away from the culture of the organization. There is no middle ground. Our personal engagement is our daily contribution to a culture of employee engagement. In this humorous and inspiring presentation, Swindall will set the stage for a year of personal engagement.
