My New Calling: Community

by Lance Haun on February 15, 2010

Last Wednesday, I called my wife to tell her the good news. My announcement that I was available for hire had worked. I had a new position and start date. And more importantly, it was a cool position. She gave me the congratulations such a feat deserved but also used it to remind me how [...]

Connecting In Person Still Critical In The Digital Age

by Lance Haun on January 28, 2010

Yesterday, I attended #connectHR and it was, by all measures, a smashing success. Even for a guy who has pretty great luck working a room and talking to new people, I don’t think I got through the entire guest list of over 100 people in a little over two hours. What I continue to find [...]

Where I’ll Be: Washington DC

by Lance Haun on January 19, 2010

Next week, I have the distinct pleasure of visiting our nation’s capital. I’ll be taking in the sights and sounds of our government at work. Maybe meeting with our congressional representative to talk some Klingon. Also will definitely be seeing some friends. Oh yeah… and there was something else:
FREE #ConnectHR Tweetup – Wednesday January 27th [...]

Who Are Your Top Influencers?

by Lance Haun on December 18, 2009

I made it on a list of Top 25 HR Digital Influencers. Fairly high up even. You should check out the list because any of them are going to be good resources.
Am I thankful for the recognition? Of course. I just wanted to make sure I got that out of the way.
To me though, it [...]

Thank You

by Lance Haun on November 25, 2009

There is one thing I know as Thanksgiving approaches this year: I would not be where I am at today without my dear friends in the online HR community and the countless readers who choose to put up with some of the crap I post here. I know everyone says that but I can’t think [...]

Veterans Day and The Carnival of HR

by Lance Haun on November 11, 2009

Quick post today. Just two things I wanted to mention:
Veterans day is today and if you are like me, you kept typing Veteran’s instead of Veterans. My abuse of the language never ends. In any case, I wanted to send a special shout out to MeritBuilder and their site that seeks to recognize veterans. Second [...]

You Don’t Have To Blog To Rise Up

by Lance Haun on November 3, 2009

I know this is a crazy post.
I know my blog has certainly helped me rise up. Other’s blogs have helped them rise up. I am going to an unconference that is going to focus on HR people who are interested in blogging. Someone may ask me if they should start a blog.
In the past, my [...]

by Lance Haun on October 30, 2009

If you are in the Midwest, consider yourself lucky: I may be coming to a city near you! There will be content next week per normal but I will be driving a small rental car all over the Midwest while it automatically posts.
Here’s the agenda:

I fly into Indianapolis Tuesday afternoon. I am planning on hitting [...]

Who Will Replace Cheezhead?

by Lance Haun on October 7, 2009

Many of you know Joel Cheesman and his blog Cheezhead.com (no, not a Green Bay Packer fan site). Many of you also know that the site is either shuttering the whole shebang or significantly altering its content at some point. For almost four years, it has been a daily, can’t miss read for myself. So [...]
