I got this crazy idea in my head: I’m going to start blogging. About work. My work. HR. So I posted. It wasn’t that captivating or interesting. So not knowing any better, I continued posting. Even when my content wasn’t great or I wasn’t feeling inspired, I posted. Through difficulties (both personally and professionally), I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Fistful of Talent has released their rankings of the best HR bloggers and guess who made the list? Better yet, guess where I ended up on that list? That’s right folks. For the second consecutive rankings (both the March Madness style ranking and the FOT writer’s ranking), I have ended up as the number two [...]
Note: This is my final formal post on the 2009 SHRM annual conference. All of the other information is being wrapped into more topical posts in the coming weeks. I think you’ll enjoy this post anyway so read on. I have the day off today but it certainly doesn’t feel that way. I am way [...]
