Top 25 Digital Influencers in HR

John Sumser has published a list of the Top 25 Digital Influencers in HR at HR Examiner. HR Examiner is a new magazine focused on the people technology, ideas and careers of Senior Leaders in Human Resources and Human Capital.

I am on the list and yes, it is very cool. To me, it means that you are reading what I write, finding value here, and continuing the conversation - thank you. And thank you to HR Examiner for including me.

John writes that, "Social media is full of early adopters...as the rest of the world gets the hang of the new communications tools, the list will change rapidly." To me, that's pretty exciting!

We have an amazing community here that collaborates, embraces new voices as they join the conversation and gives each other the boosts we need - just when we need them.  I'd be lost without you guys!

Take a few minutes to click through the list. I saw many of the people that I already read and admire along with a few new contributors to add to my community, I hope you do too. 

The Top 25 Digital HR Influencers is the first in a very regular series and John's Digital Influencer project continues with the Top 25 Digital Influencers in Recruiting in February. So, give John some feedback and stay tuned for more!

Quietly, The Firewall Comes Down

Without word, warning or mention, the firewall came down and internet sites once blocked are now accessible in the workplace.

To what degree, to what extent or for how long I don't know but this is a good thing. We are one part of a much larger organization and while I don't impact the big picture day to day, I do within the my organization.

It's time for me to initiate the conversation, provide the leadership and above all, be the voice of reason. Keep your hands and feet inside the car, the ride is about to begin.
