Have you hugged your HR pro today?
Earlier today, I read a great post by my friend John Nykolaiszyn(@CigarSPHR) about what he has been doing to promote advances in the profession since HRevolution 2. That post inspired me to take a look in the rear view mirror to see if I am staying on track with changing HR as a practitioner from the inside out and giving back to the HR community.
No matter what profession you work in, there will always be terms that flow from your lips easily that other people do not understand. Be mindful of this.

Too often when we talk about work, and especially about the people we work with, we’re negative. It is so easy to look at what’s “not working” vs. focusing on the great things that happen around us each day.
The Illinois State Council of SHRM is geared up to show their progressive attitude this coming Monday and Tuesday at the state conference. This is a conference for 500 HR professionals who will come together to not only learn about social media, but also about the core functions of HR including: talent management, legal/ employee relations, strategic HR, and HR tools. I’m most looking forward to the keynote by Pamela Meyer, PhD, who will be speaking about highly engaged organizations and innovation. Two subjects near and dear to me from a work standpoint.
So, knowing that every one of us tells little half-truths, lies by omission, and some tell outright huge lies, what are some signs we can look for to determine if we’re being lied to? As managers or leaders, how can we tell when it’s happening? Working in HR certainly gives one the upper hand in spotting deception. After years of interviewing, questioning, and investigating employee relations issues, I’ve been able to learn what to watch for.
You work hard. You put in the hours. Yet, you feel like you are constantly treading water with good work that keeps you going but never quite moves you ahead. Or worse, you are mired in bad work- endless meetings and energy-draining bureaucratic traps.
