Employee Engagement from Acorn to Oak. We have a few oak trees in our back yard and the acorns were falling. The acorns are so hard that when they fall from the oak tree they make loud pops when they hit our wooden deck. The squirrels have accelerated their acorn gathering into hyper gear with the bountiful carpet of acorns covering our deck and lawn. How does this tough small object become an oak and what does it have to teach up about engagement? Potential. Inside each acorn is a seed.

The only time I remember being really, really nervous when I was speaking in public was when I was 13-years-old and running for student council. I had to give a speech in front of the whole school, and my hands were shaking so bad I could barely hold onto my notes. After that, I took several speech and drama classes, and I became more comfortable being in front of others. Over the years, I've also learned that a little nervousness can be a good thing because it keeps you sharp.
