Great Opening Session at #SHRM13 in Chicago

Today’s opening session at SHRM 2013 was energizing and inspiring. Hillary Clinton was eloquent – speaking about how the skills and techniques of diplomacy apply to the workplace. You can find highlights of her remarks on my twitter feed at @WF_Institute.

Both Hillary and fellow speaker Fareed Zakaria emphasized that despite our economic woes of the last few years, there is much to be optimistic about in the years ahead. Both talked about how mobile technology has connected millions of people around the world to information and to each other. Fareed called this “the rise of the rest of the world”.

You Make Me Want to Be a Better Blogger

as good as it gets

I love the movie “As Good as It Gets”.  In in it, Jack Nicholson awkwardly yet successfully woos Helen Hunt, despite his severe OCD and other social issues.  In a key scene in the movie, he tells her “You make me want to be a better man”.  I feel this way today about the new Workforce Institute blog site.

My colleague Steve Tisa stayed up late last night to finish an upgrade of our site to give us a cleaner and more readable format.  My colleagues Jenna Maver and Laura Souza have been collaborating with Steve and me over the last few months to clarify our objectives for making a change, and sorting through a lot of design options to get here.

Having a fresh new playing field makes me want to be a better blogger, but I have to say the website pales next to my desire to make my colleagues feel their efforts were worth it.
