Facebook and Love. Not necessarily in that order…

  I have been threatening to write this post for a while.  Why has it taken me so long? Because this story is living, it is breathing, and it continues to evolve.  But I can no longer “not” write it.  It is written indelibly across my heart, to be sure.  Loving someone has never been [...]

I sat on my couch munching the contents of a bag of regular Tostitos. Nothing better than hanging with my kids, tortilla chips and some homemade guacamole.  Chips and a movie, this time?  Ghost Ship, a family favorite  - there is a fantastic twist scene when all is revealed, check it out some time. While [...]

All Growth Depends on Activity

I spent many days this summer kickin’ it on a beach chair watching surfers and consuming copious amounts of water and electrolyte-infused drinks. My teen-aged son and daughter recently took up the sport and it has been fun to join them at the ocean and enjoy their learning process.  There are always experienced surfers who show [...]

  How often should you update your social media profiles? Recently, I did a walk through our offices and reminded the employees that they need to go to LinkedIn and update their profiles. Several looked at me blankly, one even said to me, “Am I supposed to have a profile?” I nodded patiently and said [...]

Social Media: When Sociology and Technology Collide

by Ray_anne

What is Social Media? It’s a fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologues (one to many) into dialogues (many to many) and is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. Three years ago, this was part of the definition of Social Media given by Answers.com, as stolen from Wikipedia. I find [...]

A New Revolution

A world that finds distress necessary seems to be emerging. I don’t really understand it, but it seems to be true even as we recognize the need to ease distress, solve an issue, change a course, innovation and provoking thoughts or actions occur. Provocation has, on more than one occasion, driven home the need to [...]

Several years ago, I sat in front of the CEO of a small company that called itself a start-up for start-ups. I was new to this type of organization, a technology-based company, trying to get off the ground with little funding and big ideas. I had worked for the whole of my career, up until that point, [...]

“Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.” Where is your office? Do you have a traditional work arrangement in a corporate environment or are you on the road more than a broken yellow line? Is your office in a corner of your home and are you one [...]

Pardon me, but do you have the time? As a matter of fact, I do not.  “When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.” ~George Bernard Shaw Thank goodness for the weekend, right? We leave work at the office (hopefully), get [...]

The Elevation of Innovation: What’s Next?

by Ray_anne
world of tech

Is relevance just a matter of perspective?  Of course, it is. I attended a marketing summit recently.  It was not a recruiting conference or a recruiting unconference.  It was a meeting of local marketing minds from mobile, public relations, social media, and…, wait for it…, the soon-to-be extinct direct marketing.  I have attended multiple tech [...]

I walked through the conference in flip-flops.  Hey, it was in Phoenix, the dress code was casual and it was easily 100° outside.  I did get a few looks, but I felt if ever there was a time to be casual, it was when I had nothing to lose and only information to gain.  We [...]

I can remember when I bought my first stereo, it played cassette tapes and had a radio.  It was post-the LP /vinyl album era and pre-compact disc.  I LOVED it!  Since I have already dated myself, I’ll go one further:  the first album I ever bought was Billy Joel’s The Nylon Curtain.  Eight-track tapes had [...]

Social Media Secrets for HR & Recruiters

by Jessica Miller-Merrell

My co-presenter Robert Capwell of EDI and I led two sessions at the NAHCR conference.  NAHCR is a recruiting and healthcare association, and both of us were fortunate enough to work together and discuss how social sourcing can be used for both social media good and evil.  It was a great session and I was [...]
