A Testimonial to end 2011 – Happy New Year from the slap Company

Happy New Year from Stan and the slap Company

The last testimonial from 2011.  Enjoy.

Bury My Heart Testimonial

Stan,

Just wanted to drop you a line; I met you at the HCI Engagement Conference in Chicago this past July. I got a bit emotional when I spoke to you while signing my book (p. 197 per my request). I appreciated your genuineness during the exchange. You kind of looked right through me and it made me reconsider some things; I thought my damage had to do with a company early on in my career and was giving my then-current employer a pass. You asked me to check in; here I am.

I wanted to let you know that I did some hearty self-reflection after that trip and made some pretty big decisions about my career and where I wanted to focus my energies. I joined a  former colleague at a start-up – total green field opportunity to do good work and affect change, but quite variable and the potential for insanity high. Big leap for me, but I know I can do it. I’ve been here for just over two weeks, and there are definite challenges here, as there are everywhere. The difference? I’m BEING ME at work.

So, thank you for your wonderful book and those few moments of insight. I’m going to start seeding the concepts in Bury My Heart here and see what grows.

Hopefully our paths will cross again.
