  1. NPR: The End of 9-To-5 - When Work Time is Anytime

    "When you think of cutting edge, 21st-century workplaces, chances are a county government bureaucracy does not come to mind. But the Human Services and Public Health Department of Hennepin County, in Minneapolis, Minn., is engaged in about as radical an experiment with flexible work as exists. … Hennepin County is practicing what’s called a results-only work environment, or ROWE, which gives everyone in a company the freedom to do their job when and where they want, as long as the work gets done. The state of Minnesota signed a contract for the program last year as part of a campaign to reduce rush hour traffic on 35W in Minneapolis. Nationwide, 3 percent of businesses now say they have a ROWE, though as far as participants here in Hennepin County know, theirs is the first public agency to adopt it. Many are ecstatic at the way it’s working so far."

Her book Escape from Cubicle Nation had its roots in an impassioned plea to organizations to let people do Great Work – or let them go free. Guy Kawasaki liked it so much he re-blogged it, and Pam’s path became clear. In our interview we talk about: What Jack Welch sees as the biggest trend in corporations now – and why that matters The story of John the baseball player (and his parents), and how his journey is one we can all learn from The role of evangelism in finding your Great Work Why prototyping can be the difference between success and failure

  4. Trailing Spouse Network Talkcast

    Being the "trailing spouse" of a career professional that gets sent overseas or across the country for their work, sometimes means leaving behind a perfectly good job or small business to start again, somewhere else in the world. The challenge of finding work in foreign locations without support networks and knowledge of the local situation can be costly, frustrating and time consuming. The Trailing Spouse Network is intended to provide support in the form of peer assistance and more importantly, a means of accessing networks of businesses and other organizations that recognize the benefits of working with "Virtual Professionals".
