If ‘Core Values’ Make You Cringe…

September 10, 2018Jason Barger

How would you describe the core values of your team in order to bring to life the culture you want? If you winced or rolled your eyes when you read the phrase “core values,” hang with me. Unfortunately, some of your reaction is for good reason. You see, the exercise to determine your Mission/Vision/Values has not always been handled well by teams and organizations. Many have just gone through the motions to create them and…

Culture Shaping and Storytelling: They Go Hand in Hand

August 24, 2018Jason Barger

We are a storytelling culture. You and your people tell stories all day long. You tell a story by the way you dress. You tell a story by the way you greet your family members or friends in the morning. The way you sit in meetings. The way you interact with clients. And every time you hit that send button on social media that blasts out into the world. The messages we send and the…

How Authenticity Breeds Success

August 13, 2018Jason Barger

PayPal, one of the world’s largest online payment companies, was one of a handful of companies in 2015 to rank 100 percent on the Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking study on corporate policies and practices related to LGBT workplace equality, administered by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. Not only was this a terrific honor for the company to receive and for employees to take great pride in, but they also ranked one hundred…

Why Participation is Popular

July 15, 2018Jason Barger

Stop for a second and think about what is popular in the world today. What are the popular restaurants? Experiences? Trends? How are most people moving through the world today? Consider the fact that we now live in a participatory world. Years ago, it was Starbucks who taught us that we didn’t just want a cup of coffee, we wanted to share in the creation of our own cup of coffee. Howard Behar, the former…

June 28, 2018Jason Barger

In this fast & ever-changing world, we need time and space to Step Back. Time to think, reflect, dream, connect. These moments are when breakthroughs and progress happen.

What the Bleep Do We Want?

June 6, 2018Jason Barger

My kids love going to Dave & Buster’s—the giant arcade with life-size video games and blinking lights everywhere you turn. Even as they get older, they run from game to game with infectious smiles on their faces. They enjoy the games, but at this stage in their life (ranging between ages 7 and 12) the games aren’t what capture their imaginations the most. It’s the tickets. Each game has a certain number of tickets that…

‘Opt in’ with Intention

May 24, 2018Jason Barger

With the proliferation of spam emails and junk solicitations in the world today, the word “unsubscribe” unfortunately has become quite common. Because we are enrolled so often in things we do not actually want and that clutter our lives and work, we have had to exercise the practice of “opting out.” We follow the trail of messages and buttons to say “get me out of here.” Opting out has become necessary in a world that…
