Good Bye Debbie Downer

I'm not proud of myself lately.

There's introspective and thoughtful and working through things - and then there's debbie downer. I've been hanging out with debbie a little too much lately. I could be in a funk but I'm not. It's much more basic that that. I am not appreciating me, my people, or my accomplishments. 

There's a difference between learning, contributing, or shaking things up in the spirit of growth and learning, contributing, or shaking things up to be successful, to be recognized, or to be happy. The first is invigorating, the second is ungratifying, and both are only a matter of perspective.

I know this. It's not new to me. I just forget sometimes. 

The Top 25 Talent Management Blogs

Our friends at Fistful of Talent and HR Capitalist, published their 7.0 Talent Management Blog Power Rankings of talent, HR and recruiting blogs. 

I am honored to be included amongst people who inspire, friend and whether they know it or not, challenge me to keep getting better. There are so many positive things about the list and the one thing that strikes me each and every time is seeing new blogs. They're here, they're good and it's so great to see them recognized.

The power blog rankings is a labor of love for the community and I appreciate the work that is put into this. I have a like/loathe relationship with HR but being part of the community we are building here falls solidly in the things I love.  

It's all fluid and it's all good. Congratulations to everyone and thanks to the FOT and HR Capitalist team.
