Funny you bring up butterflies. I was just wondering about their short lifespans and marvelling how the Monarch Butterfly has time to cross oceans in the short two to eight weeks they live. Fall hatched Monarchs seem to live longer.)

Rayanne, I want to comment on the dedication and hard work I know you put into Bonus Track. For anyone out there who thinks it's easy to get up each and every working day and think about a subject to write about much less be able to encapsulate t...

Well conceived and eloquently stated! I like butterflies too..seeing one in a garden or just flying by randomly on a busy street leaves my mind filled with wonder and a tinge of envy. I mean, who wouldn't want to be perfectly symmetrical, bright a...

Thanks for the Friday inspiration. Michael Landon must have loved Butterflies too with this qoute... "Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows".

Wonderful film. I am glad you shared this with us. I recommend it to anyone who has 20 minutes to spare, and wishes to be inspired.

I have an incredible fascination with butterflies. I am not a lunatic and I don't have butterfly paraphernalia everywhere, just a few things here and there. Their beauty is so fleeting and their lives are so quick. They have moments to make their...

Nice blog piece. I haven't seen Gattaca in a while. I think I may have to go pick it up.

Rayanee, Running, sports, reading, a day a month to think about where you are going with NO computer on.... these are all very good starts to recharge your batteries. I personally take 1 day per month (sometimes a half day) to assess my goals, di...

The sweeter the juice! Oh wait that's a different quote.

That reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: What the caterpillar views to be the end of life...the butterfly sees as the beginning. And to think - it's the same soul involved in both cases. Great post, thanks!

What'd You Get?

Everyday you have an opportunity to give to those around you. I'm not saying that you owe society or that you have to be charitable, but is there any reason you can't open the door for an elderly person or forgive a cross word from an angry sibling? These are simple, EASY things to do that make your life easier and give meaning, reason, purpose, intent..., truly, they do.

And while, maybe, we shouldn't really be thinking about the rewards..., why not? Suppose you are helping someone send out re… Continue

My Bags are Packed, I'm Ready to Go...

I write daily in the discussion forum here on RecruitingBlogs and I will be honest with you, it takes a lot out of my brain. But I LOVE it. My involvement with RecruitingBlogs.com has been nothing short of a big, fat blessing. I have met the most wonderful people and made life-long friends. Seriously. Additionally, the wisdom that is graciously shared across this site is truly that: WISDOM. I value the time I spend here. I value what I learn here. I value the gain.

Online Social Networks

originally posted April 10, 2008


Who would have thought that Recruiters, usually intense competitors, would, or even could, come together in a social network like this to share ideas and lift spirits? What a transformation I have encountered over the last several years in recruiter socialization and how professional networks like LinkedIn, TalentBar, Plaxo, Xing, ZoomInfo, and of course, RecruitingBlogs.com are bringing like- and unlike-minded folks together.

I have always thoug… Continue

Not The Breakfast Club

This morning I chose to attend a breakfast meeting of the Chamber of Commerce that I frequent. I attend luncheons maybe once a month and have found the social aspect of it all fine but limited as my services are a bit more global than those of the guy that has the restaurant on the corner...
Today's topic was "Using LinkedIn" in your business. Being that I am an avid LinkedIn user, I suspected that this might be an interesting meeting in that, I really wasn't too sure if the Chamber used it that… Continue

It could ZOOM right past me, if I let it...

Changing passwords, changing email address, changing names...,
Anyone tired of all the hoopla you have to go through when you change companies or anything about yourself?

I sent a request to ZoomInfo because I cannot change some information in my profile... I did receive a prompt reply, however. They stated, basically, "Sorry, that information was created from web content and you will have to create a whole new profile if you want that information to… Continue

What Makes Me a Smart Recruiter?

When I first started recruiting, I learned a valuable lesson that has stuck with me through the years. The most important thing you can do for yourself, your candidates, and your clients is to be a good listener. I have sat in on discussions with others where their pen was writing furiously instead of their eyes making contact and true connections being made. It is imperative in this time of rapidly-expanding web tech that we maintain a human touch - LISTENING is the touch that reaches ac… Continue

Impetus - what a great word.

Understanding what motivates individuals in their work life is imperative in order to really comprehend what makes a work force tick. Motivation is the drive or influence that pushes individuals toward success or failure. Inspiring or providing incentives help define the positive results of motivation. Degrading or force can lead to the negative side of motivation. Motivation is the reason people act or direct and is directly related to performance and, whether intrinsic or extrinsic, combined w… Continue

season of love

Decisions and Events mark the pathway of our lives. During the course of the last few years my life has changed drastically as a result of choices and individuals in my life. Sorrow reared its fateful head at the passing of my father. Pain came in like a lion when divorce crossed my way. Children have grown up and away from me, something I was not ready to encounter. But great joy has joined me on this journey as I have found renewed closeness with my mother, an opportunity to love again and car… Continue

The best I know how...

Much has been written about ethics, lying, morals codes, legalities, etc...
When it comes down to it, we all have a personal code that we live by....
Yes, I understand the teachings regarding a Universal Moral Law or the Universal Code of Ethics presumed and shared by individuals like C.S. Lewis - and I appreciate those teachings...

I also know that I cannot sit in judgment of someone else and their behaviors as I understand them. Life is not that simple, my relationship with a greater being is… Continue

The New Front Porch



One of the most recognizable facets of American architecture from the eighteenth century through the 1940s was "the front porch." A nice place to sit on a cool evening following a warm summer day seems logical and well-thought out. America was once a wild, earthy place where individ… Continue
