I first heard Jennifer McClure speak at SHRM14 in Orlando. I'm sure it was soon after that I began to follow her on Twitter and her her blog. 4 years later and I've found my unofficial mentor (check our her podcast on Building Intentional Connections). I love listening to her podcast and was thrilled when …

After a review of 2017, I thought it would be a good idea to flesh out some goals for 2018. It's always a good idea to put pen to paper (so to speak) to help my poor human memory! I'm currently reading "Finish" by Jon Acuff (yes, same author who kind of jumped started the …
I have officially drunk the #DisruptHR kool-aid. I've participated in 3 events: Sioux Falls (speaker), Brookings (organizer) and Minneapolis (speaker). I've been thinking about what it is that attracts me to this type of event. Obviously, the networking and opportunity to meet people I've known through Twitter chats -- I am very impressed with the …
It was interesting that my friend Mary wrote this blog post about the same time Jon & I were discussing my idea for our next talk. The idea came to me as I'm starting to think about my upcoming role as President of our local SHRM group, BAHRA. For a long time, I wasn't sure …
DisruptHR Brookings was last night. I spent most of the night telling people I was: overwhelmed, proud, humbled, blown away. We had 102 people check in.

We are less than 2 weeks to #DisruptHRBrookings. It's been an interesting adventure and im hoping it continues to grow. I've learned a lot about my leadership style, delegation and trusting people! As I started out on this road I knew I couldn't do it alone. The first step was getting the local SHRM group …
For the last, well, for a long time, we've been having the "generations" conversation. Traditionalists vs. Boomers vs. Gen X vs. Millennials (formerly Gen Y) vs. whatever is coming next. 95% of the conversations seem to focus on the differences between the generations and why. These generations do have some things in common: bigger world …
One of the things I've always disliked about local SHRM meetings is the lack of time to have a conversation or make connections with other HR professionals in the area. Everyone is pressed for time, so we want to get in, get our sandwich, listen to the presentation, get our credits and go. I assumed, …
We don't have a knowledge problem; we have an execution problem. This has essentially been my motivation over the past year. After Brookings hosted the SD state conference last year, we spent some time complaining about the lack of assistance from the state council. We felt they made a lot of demands, gave us very …
Are you tired of the same old same old conferences, rushing from presentation to presentation and missing out on getting to know other professionals who are also attending? I do love attending conferences and spending time learning, sharing, but as I look at the next state SHRM conference or our next BAHRA meeting, I don't …
