The Lion King is hosting an animal conference.
All the animals are there except one. Which animal

Jestership at eBay
On March 22, Dave was given the opportunity to share
Jestership with eBay employees at the company
headquarters in San Jose, CA as a guest of the
eBay Speakers Series.
The enthusiasm and engagement Dave found was
outstanding - which made for quite an enjoyable
discussion. The audience left with a passion to
contribute to Jestership at eBay, as well as
autographed copies of the book!
Written feedback we received from participants
included:
"This was one of the best sessions I've
attended."
"Dave is obviously an excellent public speaker,
which
made the session very enjoyable. I really liked his
manner of presentation, and the interactiveness of the
lecture."
"He made the concept real and underscored
why
jesters are needed in companies."
If you are interested in Dave coming to speak with your
organization, please

Web Recommendations
Each month Corporate Jester will now pass on
interesting websites and web resources
we have recently run across. April
highlights two of our favorite things: comfortable travel
and great conversation!
As frequent air travelers, we love anything that helps
us travel more efficiently or comfortably. Seat Guru is
a
superbly designed website designed to help you
make better decisions about where you spend your
time in airplanes. The website compiles the layout
data for planes for all the major airlines allowing you
to make informed decisions when you select a seat.
Seat pitch, power port location, reduced
legroom - the amount of information available on the
site is pretty astounding. Take time to check out Seat
Guru by clicking
here before you assign yourself a seat the next
time you fly.
We have
mentioned the radio
show "Embracing the Journey" before, but some of
you have been missing out on the great website
supporting it. Embracing the Journey
explores what it means to be spiritually fulfilled in
business by inviting authors and speakers to discuss
honesty, compassion, generosity, ethics, and integrity
in the workplace. It is
great fun to listen live, but if you have a busy
schedule, all past shows are archived and
free to listen to whenever you like. The archives
include interviews with
Stephen Covey, our own Dave Riveness, and Tom
Dailey (a founder of Discover Card) - to name just a
few. Click here to be taken to the show's archive
page where you can listen to the archived shows.
Pass on any website recommendations you have and
we might mention it in a future newsletter! Just
contact us with the information.
