HR Kaleidoscope 2009
The first in a series of topical reflection to report and internalize my Maine HR Convention experience along the way to action plan development and implementation.
MACRO Outline
By The Day: At first, a memorable one liner per session. May be something the speaker said or my own thoughts revealed. Each session may be sooner rather than later (which usually means never) expanded upon. I’ll share my notes as they are available.
Book List: Purchased, recommended, & revealed.
Websites: Recommended and revealed.
2010 Session Ideas: I presented for the first time this year. Hope I did well. Did run out of time before content – good planning or over prepared – fear was my motivator. I already have a half page of written down improvement opportunities & obligations.
Vendor Pens, Gadgets and the Door Prize. Got a pen from many of the vendors. Each pen has ideas yet to be revealed within. Some gadgets and one door prize – a TomTom GPS unit.
Action Plan: We all need one – now, soon and forever. Now to capture those Great Intentions and translate them through expectations and into improved behaviors to yield Good Gone Great performance. (there is at least several blog titles embedded here!) Action plans translate ideas forward.
The first run through my notes is revealing that my expectations were fairly well satisfied. I was on the sublime Emotional Intelligence track.
Every year I always have good intentions of attending this event, and even possibly presenting, and then my plans get waylaid.
While I don’t reside in the HR world, I think my workforce efforts abut the work that HR does. Plus, I’m a HR blog “lurker,” and feel I’ve learned so much from pros like you and others who have dipped their toes in the blogosphere, and share their experiences.
BTW, I finally updated my links to include this blog, instead of the original one. What can I say, I’m sometimes slow on the uptake.

@bizdirector
Yes, you should attend the HR Convention. It is a great networking community. HR and Business Leaders – like yourself – need to be in the same room, on the same page and talking with each other.
