#TChat Radio is all new on Tuesday, May 28, 2013, at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT). There are reasons why some online communities grow and thrive while others fade away into obscurity. One of the primary reasons involves like-minded individuals aggregating and communicating around relevant topics, as well as having the ability to come and go as they please, and welcome other like-minded individuals as they please (think #TChat). They are built on open networks, authenticity, transparency and trust. Creating these inclusive environs in the enterprise has proven more difficult, but there are best practices to follow. Enterprise community management is more than installing a social collaboration platform and waiting for the magic to happen. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman welcome this week's guests, Maria Ogneva, Director of Product Marketing, Chatter Communities, Salesforce (Formerly Yammer), and Jeff Willinger, Director of Collaboration, Social Computing and Intranets, Rightpoint. This will be another great "community management" show, so we hope to see you here! **SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re thrilled to announce our first “world of work” partnership — with Achievers.

#TChat Radio is all new on Tuesday, May 21, 2013, at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT). Doesn't everybody love their job? Unfortunately no. Too many are not happy, disengaged and feel they just aren't being recognized. At all. Major shifts in technology, social media and management strategy (or lack thereof) have drastically changed how we work, and not for the better. In fact, lost productivity of actively disengaged employees costs the US economy $370 billion annually according to Gallup research. But when employees are recoginized and rewarded, they are more engaged and emotionally connected to their work, sometimes upwards of four times more so than their unrecognized counterparts. How should we do that today? Well, #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman welcome this week's guests, Stan Phelps, founder of 9 INCH Marketing and author of "What's Your Green Goldfish," and S. Max Brown, Principal at Rideau’s Recognition Management Institute and keynote speaker and keynote speaker. This will be another great "world of engagement" show, so we hope to see you here! **SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re thrilled to announce our first “world of work” partnership — with Achievers.

#TChat Radio is all new on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT). Do you work in your own closed office? In a cubicle? In fluid, open, shared space? Or in a corner nook of your master bedroom? Where you work and what that work space looks like can have a huge effect on just how you get work done, individually and with others. Your work environment can create opportunities for communication, encourage creativity, and even ignite innovation. Why work spaces are so important to the world of work are many, but ultimately for you it's a personal choice and for your organization it's a collaborative productivity choice. #TChat co-creators and hosts, Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman welcome this week's guest, Chris Congdon, Director of Research Communications with Steelcase. This will be another great "world of work space" show, so we hope to see you here! **SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re thrilled to announce our first “world of work” partnership — with Achievers.

#TChat Radio is all new on Tuesday, May 7, 2013, at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT). The worlds of education and business are moving farther and farther apart. The skills shortage many economists and other "world of work" thought leaders keep talking about is real and leaving millions behind. Schools aren't encouraging students to become bold thinkers, dreamers, and doers -- and businesses are expecting them to be just those persona types without much investment. This is why the Choose2Matter and TalentCulture #TChat communities are coming together this week for #TChat Radio and #TChat Twitter Chat. Together we can choose to bridge the skills gap and help students find mentors in communities like ours to greatly enhance the lives of these amazing young people today. #TChat co-creators and hosts, Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman welcome this week's guests, Choose2Matter co-founders Angela Maiers and Mark Moran. This will be another great "world of work" show, so we hope to see you here! **SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re thrilled to announce our first “world of work” partnership — with Achievers.
