Presenter: Elizabeth Doty is a consultant, coach, and facilitator with WorkLore (www.WorkLore.com), which specializes in how people participate in large organizations while staying true to themselves and contributing to their organization’s effectiveness and integrity. Since earning her MBA from Harvard and joining a reengineering firm in 1991, she has both subscribed to the "official story" of business and lived through the contradictions and absurdities of everyday organizational life. Time in the trenches in a variety of industries, including 11 years in hospitality management, gave her the chance to talk with over 400 people about the challenges, triumphs and dilemmas of doing work they are proud of, and form the core ideas in her book,The Compromise Trap. For the past 17 years, Ms. Doty and WorkLore have partnered with leaders in organizations of all sizes to harvest the insights and opportunities hidden in those experiences.
