Where’s Pace?

var isFlashReady = false;function flashReady(){isFlashReady = true;}function showRegistration(){alert(“showRegistration”);}
function registrationCompleted(){thisMovie(“player1”).registrationCompleted();}
function loadItem(id){thisMovie(“player1”).loadItem(id);}
function thisMovie(movieName){if (navigator.appName.indexOf(“Microsoft”) != -1){return document.getElementById(movieName);}else{return document[movieName];}}

jQuery().ready(function() {
jQuery(“.item”).click(function () { loadItem(this.id); });

My work makes training that helps people learn skills to communicate better and great stuff like that. We have some skill videos in the training that show examples of how to and how not to. Here’s an old one:

Get Adobe Flash. Please install or upgrade Adobe Flash and revisit this page.

Each year we hold a conference open to the thousands of trainers who train our stuff. These trainers watch these videos every time they train, could be multiple times a month. So some videos they have memorized, and for sure they all have their favorite lines. So, at our conference we like to do something fun with our material.

This year we future proofed our videos, see if you can find me in them.

Install Adobe Flash and revisit to watch video content.

Design Yo Self Something


So I found this cool site where designers and artists share their creations. It’s very cool seeing some things people think of. I especially like the collections they put together, like the one on ninja turtles, or this one on best super heros, or this photoshop master. A lot of stuff comes from Deviant Art. Check it out, I think you’ll like it.

Cool new presentation

So my work is having a webinar for a group of trainers, and since you are friends and family I thought I’d share this interesting study. It’s a powerpoint about how to hold Crucial Conversations with children. I browsed through it fairly quickly and thought it might be good for a family home evening or something. Check it out. (requires powerpoint or open office)

Let me know what you think, or your results from using it.

Making History

Today marks the first time at VitalSmarts that we made money outside of the standard sales team! I’m excited to be a part of this historic occasion, our Crucial Skills Newsletter has been redesigned ( 😉 ) and comes in multiple flavors. Associates can buy upgraded flavors depending on how much $ they want to spend and how much content they want to have control over. Also, this is our most compatible version of the newsletter in history. In the past we’ve had huge issues with styling and content in different email readers. Great job team! Sign up now if you want some great tips on how to have crucial conversations and increase communication.

What’s Pace doing?


As you might have noticed Joy has been on a blogging streak, so I thought I would throw one in here. Yes I am mainly fishing for praise. We’ve just launched a couple of things at work.

  1. REACH 09 website
  2. Funny Video Campaign

Catching some attention around the office, Joseph Grenny, one of the Authors/owners emailed about the REACH site: “This website is really, really good. It has such an affirmative, specific and positive message to it and I think makes a compelling case for registration. Very well done! This is one of the best promotional things I think we’ve ever done.”

Also the Reach site has been nominated for a Hermes Award (thanks for the idea Ryan).. pictured here. Submitted for Overall Website Design, so that will be cool if I win that. Then I’ll make everyone say award winning designer after my name.
