My Conversational Partner:

Mike Dwyer is an expert at using digital communication for recruiting and developing culture, especially in the tech start-up world.  It probably helps that he’s also been a fixture in the improv scene in Chicago for over 15 years, especially at the Playground Theater.  I call him Mikey Truffles based on a funny story that I heard second hand and we’ve run with it for years.  He’s that kind of guy.

Pay Attention To:

  1. The power of core values for an organizational culture or on an improv team.
  2. What might happen if everyone in an organization followed the “yes, and” rule from improv.
  3. How technology has democratized the talent acquisition function and enabled small companies to get connected to the right hires around the world.
  4. The pluses and minuses of working remotely – and why it might be better for companies to keep people at the office.
  5. How organizations can integrate the generations into a new work model.
  6. The ways that improv lessons may make you a better business person, and just a better person in general.
  7. Why Mike and I shouldn’t sing freestyle jazz…

The Art of Conversation is Back in Business

Do you love a good conversation with a smart person who is doing interesting things?

It's fun. It's invigorating. And for me, I find my best personal insights come from hearing what the other person is working on.

I write and speak extensively about professional networking, and I think that most of us forget that all of our relationships are at their core...a collection of conversations.

So join me as I chat with my favorite authors, entrepreneurs, artists, salespeople, and executives to find out what they're working on and thinking about these days.

Whether it's their favorite craft beer or the lesson they learned while starting their business, it's always interesting and always entertaining. Grab a glass and join us!
