TalentNet Live 2010
When it comes to cranking out an event full of talented speakers from North America but that delivers an overarching message crafted perfectly to a local audience, Jim Schnyder, Craig Fisher and Marianthe Verver get it done. At least that was my impression of the recent TalentNet Live event that was held last week at PepsiCo's own FritoLay headquarters in Plano, TX. This trio of event planners pulled off an event where a negative comment couldn't be heard (except by Cheezman when taking... |

You Aren't Tough Enough...
I'm calling you out. Yeah, you. I'm concerned that you aren't tough enough to help the Social Mudders team raise funds and awareness around the February race taking place in Austin, TX. It's an event where proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior Project - a foundation created to help wounded veterans. I'm not saying you're not tough enough to actually take part in the 10 mile obstacle course that some of us have already promised to run... I'm saying that you're not tough enough... |

When to Say, "Bullshit."
If you're a reader of my blog or if we've ever spent any time talking about the Recruiting and Staffing industry, then you know that I'm an advocate of constant change. Yes. Constant. You'd also know that I enjoy pushing the envelope in regards to just about anything considered "status quo" and that phrases like, "because we've always done it that way" make me want to stick a fork in my eye. Yes. A fork.As a person that pushes constantly for evolution and change,... |

Catching Fireflies
Every year my family and I try and plan a vacation that will be an adventure of some sort. This year we headed out on a cross-country trek from our home near Dallas, TX through Virginia, Washington DC, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and a few others. And while I typically don't write while I'm on vacation, the kids said something that really stuck with me while we were staying at this interesting little 1926 caboose (yes, it was a real caboose - check the link) one night... while... |

#Onboarding at PepsiCo
Wow - what a ride. My first 30 days at PepsiCo have been the busiest and most travel-heavy 30 days I've experienced in a long time. I've worked directly with a workforce more diverse in their ideas, backgrounds, and cultures than I've ever met collectively within any single organization. I've pitched new ideas that, as I write this, are already in production. I've bounced crazy thoughts to teams that have increased the crazy (and awesome) factor exponentially - and were... |

"Refreshing" Change
Wow - where do I start? For those of you that know me (or that follow my ramblings) you likely know that I've been with AT&T for going on 10 years. In fact, I started as a contract recruiter with AT&T 10 years ago on June 1st. It's been a challenging and equally rewarding ride over the last decade - and I've had the opportunity to do things on a much grander scale than I would have if I'd stayed an independent recruiter as opposed to jumping into the corporate world.
