Still reveling in the energy from NHRMA - Northwest Human Resource Management Association last week! πŸ₯³



I had the chance to speak twice:



πŸ‘‰πŸΌ The Team Alignment Playbook: 3 Strategies to Turn Siloed Teams into Collaborative Powerhouses



πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Culture Isn’t a Perk. It’s a Strategy. with Wendy McCauley Brand and Devin C. Hughes



So many great conversations and connections sparked from those two sessions.

And consistently I heard some version of:

"We've got some challenges inside our organization..."

Silos. Avoided conversations. Misalignment. Conflict. Lack of accountability. Leadership infighting.



Followed by:

"But nothing is on fire. Yet. So there's little urgency from leadership to do anything about it."



It has me wondering:



How long should we tolerate a problem we KNOW exists simply because nothing is on fire... yet? πŸ‘€

What do you think?



Huge thank you to NHRMA for having me and to everyone who joined my sessions! πŸ’ž

The Team Alignment Playbook: Turn Siloed Teams into Collaborative Powerhouses

πŸ’° Organizations lose an average of $109M for every $1B spent on projects because teams aren’t aligned on goals and ex*****ons.

The default?
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Plan another offsite
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Invest in more check-the-box, one-and-done trainings
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Add more meetings, memos, messages

It feels like progress.
But nothing actually changes.
And the same conversations keep happening.

In this session, we’ll get into what actually works.

For senior leaders responsible for ex*****on and results, who are done throwing money at the symptoms: This is for you.

Hope to see you there! πŸ‘‹πŸΌ

I'm completely WIPED OUT 😴 AND completely ENERGIZED 😎 Is that possible?!

Just got home from ASAE The Center for Association Leadership's Annual Meeting & Expo.

I spoke all three days, which was equal parts exhilarating and what was I thinking?!
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Saturday: Mastering Mental Fitness for Purposeful Leadership
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Sunday: Mastering the Art of Celebrating Wins
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Monday: Building Mental Fitness mini-session

And somewhere in between, I:
πŸ’ž Met so many new faces
πŸ’ž Reconnected with people I haven't seen in far too long
πŸ’ž Played a ridiculous number of silly games in the exhibitor hall
πŸ’ž Had conversations that sparked new ideas, collaborations, and friendships
πŸ’ž And got to see Babyface perform live!

There's something special about the association world. It's built on relationships. It's deeply human. And that's something AI can never replace.

People make time to reconnect. They introduce you to someone you should know. They share ideas and resources. They cheer each other on.

And the icing on the cake? Hearing the impact of my work on people who attended.

One of my favorite comments: β€œCelebration is a muscleβ€”one that I’ve let atrophy. Amy gave me a framework to get it moving again.”

THAT is why I love doing this work. πŸ’ž
Thank you, ASAE, for an incredible few days.

Now excuse me while I recover. πŸ˜‚

It’s live! πŸŽ‰ Over the past several months, my team and I have been digging into one question:
What does it actually take to align and mobilize teams for AI transformation?

We interviewed 12 senior executives leading AI transformation across industries and analyzed patterns from our work with 60+ leadership teams.

And today, I’m THRILLED to share what we learned.
πŸ“˜ Our new Executive Insights Report: What It Actually Takes to Align and Mobilize Teams for AI Transformation

One of the biggest takeaways?
AI isn’t the hardest part of transformation. Getting people aligned and moving in the same direction is.

And most organizations underestimate this.

The organizations pulling ahead aren’t simply becoming better at AI.
They’re becoming better at leading change.

πŸ‘‡πŸΌ Get the full report:
https://amyyip.co

BONUS: The research isn’t ending with the report!

We’re bringing several of the executives we interviewed back together for a 3-part Executive Insights Briefing Series to go beyond what made it onto the page.

We’ll talk candidly about what worked, what surprised them, what they’d do differently, and what leaders navigating AI transformation should be thinking about now.

THREE LIVE CONVERSATIONS | 11:00AM - 12:00PM ET

The Team Alignment Playbook: 3 Strategies to Turn Siloed Teams into Collaborative Powerhouses

πŸ’° Organizations lose an average of $109M for every $1B spent on projects because teams aren't aligned on goals and ex*****on.

That's more than $2M a week slipping through the cracks.

The default?
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Another well-intentioned offsite with great energy but little follow-through
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ More one-and-done training
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ More meetings, more emails, more communication

It feels like progress.
But the same conversations keep happening.

In this session, I'll share why misalignment persists and three practical strategies leaders can use to build teams that execute with clarity, collaborate with trust, and deliver stronger results.

πŸ“ Then join me on Thursday, September 10
πŸ‘‡πŸΌ
Culture Isn't a Perk. It's a Strategy.

I'll be joining an incredible panel including Amanda Austin, Wendy Brand, and Devin C Hughes as we explore what it really takes to build cultures that drive engagement, retention, and performance.

If you'll be in Spokane, I'd love to connect. Hope to see you there!

Yesterday I turned 45. I was celebrating with grizzly bears in Glacier National Park.

Birthdays have a funny way of making you reflect.

This year, I realized something I'd never really thought about before.

We spend every birthday celebrating the person who arrived.

We rarely stop to celebrate the person who made that arrival possible.

45 years ago, my mom had a plan: take a month off before I arrived. Rest. Prepare.

I had other plans.

I showed up the day after her last day of work.

So much for that month off! 😊

Now that I'm a mother myself, I understand so much more about what those early years must have been like for her.

It's impossible to fully appreciate everything your parents did for you until you find yourself doing those same things for your own children.

My mom worked two jobs, often 16-hour days, six days a week. Somehow, in between, she still cooked our meals, kept our home running, drove three kids everywhere we needed to be, and made sure we always knew we were loved.

She didn't just give me life. She showed me how to live it.

She taught me what resilience looks like.

She taught me what unconditional love looks like.

And she showed me the kind of mother I wanted to become.

So as I celebrate another year of life, I also want to celebrate the woman who gave me mine.

Thank you, Mom, for everything you gave long before I was old enough to appreciate it, every lesson you taught without saying a word, and for loving me through every version of myself... even the ones that weren't easy to love. πŸ˜‡

Without you, there wouldn't have been a birthday for me to celebrate.

I hope you know how grateful I am to be your daughter. ❀️
