When I first came on to the professional world, I heard a lot of talk about Networking. You need to Network. It's good for your career. It will help you find your *dream job*. But it always seemed so complicated and for someone else. I was never quite sure how it applied to me. I'd, …

#Resolutions2018
After a review of 2017, I thought it would be a good idea to flesh out some goals for 2018. It's always a good idea to put pen to paper (so to speak) to help my poor human memory! I'm currently reading "Finish" by Jon Acuff (yes, same author who kind of jumped started the …
#HRSocialHour We are Thankful!
What a fantastic conversation we had to close out the long Thanksgiving Holiday weekend (at least for those of us in the US). I really enjoyed spending a little extra time with my #HRSocialHour / #HRTribe on Twitter. Jon & I have a few things brewing for 2018, so we are so thankful for everyone …
#SHRMVLS Final Day!
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 …
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 …
Learning from Fictional Leaders #HRSocialHour
As an HR professional, it is sometimes hard to suspend disbelief when it comes to some HR issues I see on TV. I don’t know any HR professionals who can watch Michael Scott or Jan Levinson (US) or David Brent (UK) from the Office without cringing. On the other side, Nick Fury from the Avengers …

#DisruptHRBrookings: the day after train of thoughts
DisruptHR Brookings was last night. I spent most of the night telling people I was: overwhelmed, proud, humbled, blown away. We had 102 people check in. That did not include the 11 speakers and 6 committee members. The room was set up for 100. People were standing in the cocktail area watching the talks. Not …
