After a phenomenal "continental" breakfast (which included breakfast pizza & smoothies!), I was stuck deciding between Ignite - a DisruptHR type of session listing to other HR leaders like Steve Browne, John Baldino, Melissa DeVore, Rose Morales, [and 4 others whose names I'm trying to find!!] -- and a session on "Delivering a WOW Membership …

#SHRMVLS Day 2
Day 2 of #SHRMVLS is a bit of a blur. Lots of great speakers, hanging with great folks. I wanted to do a quick recap of the 3 sessions I attended to share some of the great stuff from this conference. Breakfast started with Karin Hurt giving her talk "Seven Ways to Turn Your Volunteers into …
My HR Tribe
It has been amazing to me how quickly my HR Tribe has grown in the past few years. Since moving to South Dakota and discovering the how to use Twitter to create a tribe, a network, chat, I have seen my connections expand and grow into real friendships. I've found I know more than I …
It’s Okay for You to be Wrong
This week was Quarterly Strategic Planning time and we took time to gather off site to work On our business. We had some good conversations and some not-so-good conversations but we got some shit done. We made some revisions to our 3 year plan to clarify a few goals. We revisited our Core Values, we …
Are You Ready to Step Out? #HRSocialHour
We had another successful Twitter chat on Sunday. I loved chatting about our HR/professional groups and seeing what others are doing. The chatter moved fairly quickly; I'm glad I've got the Storify to go back to, so I can remember who brought up which topic or question for follow up. I spent last week at …
#HRSocialHour Joiners
It was interesting that my friend Mary wrote this blog post about the same time Jon & I were discussing my idea for our next talk. The idea came to me as I'm starting to think about my upcoming role as President of our local SHRM group, BAHRA. For a long time, I wasn't sure …
Future of HR as told by Jennifer McClure
I was so excited when I found out Jennifer McClure was coming to the annual SE SHRM Safety & Health Conference in Sioux Falls. I knew I needed to attend. I don't believe I've attended in the past because while safety can tend to fall into the HR lap, I’ve found most front line workers …
Selecting the #RightPerson
So, we've designed our new seat & have come up with an AWESOME marketing plan to attract the right candidate. The candidates should now be banging on our door to work for our fantastic organization - after all, we've shared our culture, our values and we've shared a clear expectation for this role & know …
#HRSocialHour Training
If you were at SHRM16, you had the opportunity to see Train. I hadn't planned on going to the concert, but my new friends convinced me that we needed to go. I didn't even realize how many of their songs I already knew -- I'm super bad at band names, just ask my husband who …
Finding the #RightSeat
When you see this chair, you know what it is for and who it is for. You know why it is important. I don't care which Star Trek captain is your favorite (obviously, Chris Pine is my favorite), when you see this chair, you know. Can you say the same for each seat in your …
