The Mission Driven Company

June 24, 2012 By Rosa Say

What’s the difference between Mission and Vision? This is a question that comes up a lot in the work I do with business teams as I coach them to be mission driven on a day to day basis. Why be mission driven? So they never lose sight of their greater purpose for existing in the […]

On Ho‘ohana: People Who Do Good Work

May 20, 2012 By Rosa Say

People will quickly point to all kinds of reasons for their dysfunctional workplace culture. “Who has time for innovation when there’s so much other stuff to be done?” “We work with equipment harking back to the time of the dinosaurs.” “Nobody walks by this street corner anymore; our storefront is useless.” “We can’t afford anything.

Sense of Place Delivers True Wealth

May 7, 2012 By Rosa Say

When I meet Alaka‘i Managers, and am able to visit their workplaces, I consistently see the Sense of Place commonality they share as culture-builders. I will feel it in my surroundings, for while sound and solidly built, their places pulse with deeply veined character and vibrant energy. Alaka‘i Managers know that this is what every […]

D5M: The Daily Five Minutes

April 21, 2012 By Rosa Say

“We learn best from other people… you cannot replace the interchange that happens between human beings when you ‘ōlelo and talk story with each other. Learning is as much about the questioning, and the requests for clarification and complete understanding… Know well. Grab your opportunity to learn from each other and to know all you […]

5 Essentials Employees Need to Learn — From You

March 6, 2012 By Rosa Say

I am fond of saying that we learn from people, for I fervently believe that we do. If you are a manager, you must both learn and teach: Do them well, and others call you “coach” and “mentor.” They’ll say you’re a great boss, perhaps the best they’ve had. Hit the Ground Running From Day […]

Speaking with Aloha

My current speaking topics are based on Managing with Aloha, and the culture-building work I am presently engaged in. I can offer you formats which include keynotes, 20-minute energizers for your meetings, team facilitation (my specialty!) question and dialogue sessions, half or full day workshops, and sense of place retreats.

My coaching programs are covered in more detail here: How we’ll work together

Portfolio of Current Work

What you see here, is a mix of articles which have spun off into the speeches and workshops I have done, and continue to fulfill requests for (these are not actual transcripts unless noted as such). Most of the articles I publish stem from my work as it happens: They are topics which are active in my coaching business and our learning laboratories, and are grabbing our attention because they are highly relevant to today’s workplaces.

We will work together in Co-authorship

You may have something more specific in mind, so let’s talk about it. As a manager who coaches, a leader who teaches, and a writer who speaks, whatever I do is customized for you, just as I match working with Aloha with the strengths and goals of my staff. This portfolio is here to give you a sampling of what to expect from my expertise and mana‘o (beliefs and convictions) connected to Managing with Aloha’s “sensibility for worthwhile work.”

What you can expect when you hire me

All of my presentations are values-based in their message, and done in a story-telling style. I prefer conversations to lectures, yet I fully realize that the quality of those conversations start with me sharing a message which will inspire them. I’ll turn lectures into animated performances, for they’re more fun for both of us. Everything I do comes with some kind of debrief coaching for the managers involved: I encourage them to follow-up immediately and with confidence, giving them suggestions based on my past experience in team dynamics and organizational culture.
