Happy Friday!

Just a quick post to tie up some loose ends from the last week or so.

• A HUGE thank you to Bill Boorman, Geoff Webb, Maha Akiki, and all the sponsors (including Jobsite, TempWorks Software, and HRM Direct) for an outstanding time at TRU London 2.  I have already posted about the event and will continue to write about some of the ideas that bubbled up there.  Although the TRU Crew brought me over to the event, all the opinions I share about content are purely mine.  It was an amazing learning experience and I can’t wait to share more about the dynamics of HR, recruiting, and technology from a global perspective.
• Thank you to Victorio at Creative Chaos Consultant for sharing my guest post in his ‘Put Up or Shut Up’ series last week.
• Last week I had a contest as part of  ’The HR Hangover: A Contest for You‘ post.  Well, if you haven’t read the comments, go back and do that.  I had several great “guesses” but there were two that stood out.  They are not only well thought out but hilarious too.  Congratulations to the book winners April Dowling and Krista Francis.  You guys can be my HR manager anytime!

Have a fantastic Friday. If you’ve got something great you’re doing- maybe a HR or recruiting conference, good book you’re reading, some fun weekend plans….share them with me in the comments!

TRULondon2

I have never been to London, but it’s calling me in February.  I’m not quite sure what to expect.  I know I’ll see more history than I ever have in my life.  Maybe I’ll see the Queen or other royalty (I seriously doubt it).  I’m imagining I’ll eat fish-n-chips and drink tea (do they really have “tea time”?).  Hopefully I’ll find a pub and throw back a pint or two.  I’d even love to see “real” football (now I just need to find someone with tickets).

Join me in London for THE global recruiting unconference of the year!  Hosted by Bill Boorman and Geoff Webb, TRULondon 2 on February 18- 19 will be several days of learning and collaboration.  I love the unconference format and this will be an event where you can join in the conversation on recruiting, talent management, HR technology, and a wide array of human resource topics.  I’m sure you’ll be able to question, agree with, and debate with some of the best cutting-edge recruiting and HR professionals today.

I’ll be  a track leader for several tracks such as ‘Battle of the Bloggers‘, ‘Talent Wars‘, ‘HR Revolution‘, and ‘HR and Gen Z‘.  I’ll be joined by Laurie Ruettimann, Steve Boese, Andy Headworth, Jon Ingham, Jason Davis, Allen Whitford, Sarah White, and many other outstanding pros from around the globe.

Be sure to check out the TRUconferences site for more information.  Then, register for the event here.

See you in London!
