HR Happy Hour - Episode 2

The impromptu HR Happy Hour we did last Friday on Blog Talk Radio was so much fun and has inspired enough interest that we have set up HR Happy Hour - Episode 2, coming to you live at 6:00 PM EDT, on Friday June 5.

The special guests for Episode 2 are three of the best and coolest HR Bloggers I know:

Deidre Honner - The HR Maven - A key member of Job Angels, a HUGE hockey fan, and all-around great person

Shauna Moerke - HR Minion (Shauna was on HR Happy Hour Episode 1, but she is so cool she got invited back for Round 2)

Lisa Rosendahl - from HR Thoughts - one of the best HR Blogs around, a super-nice person, and notorious early-riser

To listen live to the show, or to access the show archive afterwards, go to Steve Boese on Blog Talk Radio.

To participate and ask a question of one of our superstar bloggers, call 646-378-1086 once the show starts.

Thanks is advance to the All-Star panel, and let's have some fun at HR Happy Hour!

HR Happy Hour - With some Special Guests

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.
