Inside the Cubicle

Inside the Cubicle takes you INSIDE the mindset of people at work - inside the decisions they make about food, about meetings, about how they communicate. This book addresses the things everyone inside a cubicle is thinking about, but never really talks about. Workplace humorist and keynote speaker Dave Fleming presents humorous examples of office distractions and challenges that are easily recognizable by anyone who has ever called a cube home. Cube Tips throughout the book provide ideas that can immediately be put into place to improve communication and boost morale in any workplace. You should read this book if any of these statements sounds familiar: When sending an important email with an attachment, you hit the paper clip to attach the file, but the next button you hit is not "send"; you open the attachment to see if it magically changed. You have heard someone wearing a red shirt say, "Guess I missed the memo," when walking into a room of people all dressed in blue. You have dug through the box lunches at an offsite work event looking for one with a chocolate chip cookie (and hoping not to get one with an oatmeal raisin disguised as a chocolate chip).
About the Author: Dave Fleming is one of the top speakers and corporate trainers in the country. He is a workplace expert who is committed to helping individuals and companies improve communication, increase collaboration, and boost morale. He's also funny. He was voted the #2 corporate comedian in America by cbsnews.com. His humor is unique and universally appealing to those living the cubicle life. His pinpoint portrayal of the challenges we all face at the office has resulted in him being described as the "Jerry Seinfeld of the office." Dave translates his humorous observations into ideas and tips that can be immediately put to use when his audiences return to their workplaces. Since Dave was 10 years old, he has displayed his passion for life. Here's what Billie Jean King said in a newspaper interview after a tennis clinic she held in Albuquerque, NM: "I love this guy. He's my kind of kid," she said of a boy wearing a Pittsburgh Pirate baseball hat. The little guy ran down everything Billie hit. "He's going to make it in life some way, somehow." What a humbling quote from a Hall of Fame athlete. The same energy and enthusiasm Billie Jean saw from that ten-year-old tennis player is what Dave brings to his speaking and training clients today. Dave started his journey of entertaining corporate groups in Orlando. He hosted game shows and award shows at Disney properties, resorts, and theme parks. And he even designed games for Disney guests to play while waiting in line. He dubbed this Q Crew and it was a big success for Disney as they rarely allow "outsiders" to interact with their beloved guests. But Q Crew helped them alleviate the number one problem at the theme parks - waiting in line. This passion for creative problem solving has served Dave well throughout his career. Dave has also been analyzing consumer behavior, having worked for over 15 years as an expert marketer for companies like Pizza Hut, Delta Dental, and Dr Pepper Snapple Group. With that keen eye, he sees the workplace unlike anyone else on the planet. He's passionate about improving the human dynamic. He thinks conference calls are hilarious. And don't get him started on recall emails. Dave's humor-filled speeches and training programs are designed to provide instant impact. He wants his audience to LEARN, LAUGH, and then take those ideas and go LEAD change back at the office.
