So last night Mark Stelzner tweets:
As I tend to agree with the sentiment in Mark's tweet, I offered this reply:
After a quick convo on Twitter where Mark agreed to call in, and a hasty round of promotion and soliciting other callers, about 25 minutes later we went live on my Blog Talk Radio show, (the one I normally use to record interviews for my HR Technology Class).
It was a blast! By my reckoning the following folks were live and participating on the call at one time or another:
Mark Stelzer, Charee Klimek , Shauna Moerke (you may know her as the HR Minion), Sharlyn Lauby (the HR Bartender), Joyce Chastain, Becky Allen, Michele Wagner, Susan Burns, and Michael Krupa.
Since the call was not planned, scripted, or rehearsed in any way, the conversation was pretty free-flowing and ventured into many topics: what is happening with JobAngels, an update of the upcoming Social Recruiting Summit in June, and some interesting discussions about employer branding from Charee and a great story from Shauna about 'coming out of the blogging closet'.
You can listen to the 'Happy Hour' here:
I really had fun doing this, and if there is interest from the HR community to do more of these, I am certainly happy to organize and host. Hit me up in the comments, or sent me a Tweet.
Thanks so much for everyone that called in, and anyone who listened live to the show.
