| Client Spotlight: Kimberly Clark Health Care Works With Priceless and 20/20 Insight to Gather Key Metrics |
 |
Performance and Learning Team Leader Leo Tilley is using 20/20 Insight to report progress and return on investment to the executive leadership team.
Doing so has enhanced the reputation of the department.
"The nice thing about 20/20 Insight is that it's flexible, robust and easy to use," reports Tilley. "We can put together a survey for measuring position competencies, organizational climate, and training evaluations more quickly, easily and in a short time. I don't have to go to an outside resource to make changes or modifications, which is a major cost savings. The software allows us to control the process. In addition, it gives me ammunition and information about what I need to build so we can develop our people all across the world."
Tilley explained that his department must show value for the money being invested in training. "In order to do that," he stated, "I have to assess where the biggest issues are so I can show value and get buy-in from managers. They think they know the issues intuitively. When I can show them the data, it reinforces what they sensed and then allows me to get the resources I need. Being able to demonstrate value and focus on what our [internal] customers need is helping our team quickly develop credibility." |

| Greetings!
Have you or anyone you know felt like this lately:
"I want to go back to bed, pull the covers over my head and have somebody wake me up when my 401(k) bounces back., I don't know about you, but I'm finding myself so jittery about, well everything, that it's all I can do to surf the net. Kind of ironic, isn't it? I should be working more, but I'm so anxious... that I'm actually working less!"
When I read friend and humorist Lisa McLeod's thoughts from her really great Forget Perfect newsletter, I found myself nodding my head in agreement. I've felt some of what she's talking about, on and off, for a few weeks.
This month's been much better - I've been more productive, more hopeful and more focused. The result: new business ideas, new potential alliance partners, more energy, more fun and more waking-up-ready-to-go-days, more often.
Not much has changed in the world but the biggest change has been... CONTINUE READING

Zoom, Zoom...Uncovering 'Secrets' |
That's me standing in the pit box for my favorite NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. at Atlanta Motor Speed Way. My husband, Jeff, snapped this picture right before security  yelled, "Get off the wall!"
I felt like such a rebel! It was very cool. There we were right where all the action happens.
While it was fun being on pit road before the race, watching the race was even better because this year we experienced the race from luxury seats in Club One. Instead of cold metal seats with drunk 'new friends' screaming in your ear - Club One offers leather couches, flat screen TV's, catered food, elegant, clean restrooms and access to a great track view via the Observation Deck. Now THAT's the way to see a race. And we saw it all just because we found out about 'the secret'. Jeff doesn't like to spend money. And he was not going pay the exorbitant Club One ticket price, no matter how much I 'suggested' how much more fun Club One would be. Jeff chatted with the ticket agent about seating choices over several phone calls. When asked, the ticket agent initially said there were no specials. My ever-thrifty, determined deal-making husband pressed some more, "Are you SURE there aren't any specials?" Then, in a hushed tone, the agent shared, "Well Mr. Price, we don't have specials, but we do have a secret that you might want to know about." The ' secret' is... CONTINUE |

3. Go to bed earlier and get more sleep.
4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following:
'Today, my primary purpose is to __________.'
