2012 Is A Women of HR Year!

Trish — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:14:21 +0000

We’re just days away from a new year. I am not big on making New Year’s resolutions, however, I am committed to one thing in 2012 and that is greater contribution to the Women of HR site. Several years ago, a group of women all tied in one way or another to the HR industry got together in Chicago. One of the bi-products of that visit was the idea for Women of HR.

WomenOfHR.com

Women of HR is a site dedicated to the development of women in human resources and business. It is a place to find information and discuss topics on a wide variety of issues that impact the lives of women. It’s a place to find community and collaboration. I’d like to share three of my favorite posts from Q4:

Hard Work Alone Will Not Get You Noticed by Debbie Brown

Bully Boss or Tough Boss? How To Tell the Difference by Jennifer Miller

Toxic Behaviors in Human Resources by Jennifer Payne

As we roll into 2012, I’d like you to consider becoming a contributor at Women of HR. We have male and female writers who are practitioners in the industry and welcome new and interesting thoughts to be shared.

For more information, email me at TrishaM89@gmail.com

Happy Reading!

Burn The Podium: Engaging With The Audience

Trish — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:26:40 +0000

Care to wager a guess how I feel about presentations given from behind a podium?

There is something about the podium that makes me feel disconnected from the person. It hides their body language, it is often something they grip with great fervor. When I attend an event of any kind and the speaker hides behind a podium as he or she reads a PowerPoint presentation to me I cannot help but be disconnected.

I spoke at Talent Net Live earlier this week and one of the best parts of the event for me was that no one stood behind the podium. It was on stage, available should anyone like to lean on it, set a drink on it or if they needed to hide from the audience. But, no one needed it. Every speaker used the stage in a different way. Bruce Morton gave the opening keynote and walked the stage like a pro. Jason Seiden, the closing keynote, started his “Profersonal” presentation seated on a red couch. The panelists in various sessions were seated talk show style. Paul Smith stood at both the front of the room and at the back. It was unique to see so many great speakers use the space given to them in the best possible way- to engage with their audience.

Whether you are someone who regularly gives presentations or someone who dreads it, I challenge you to shake up the way you present. Walk around, use the space, break away from the dreaded podium. And, check out events like Talent Net Live to see how the pros do it!

Thanks to Craig Fisher (@Fishdogs) the #TNL social recruiting forum features big names in recruiting and social media covering the hottest tips and topics of the day for job seekers, social media enthusiasts, and talent professionals. Craig and his planning team did a fantastic job!

Carnival of HR: HR Bloggy Goodness

It’s fall and from where I am from, that means carnivals. I’ve been to more small town homecomings than you can shake a stick at. See, I even sound like I’m from the Midwest!
