Careers: Better Choices Mean Better Business #TChat Preview

/ /by

(Editor’s Note: Are you looking for full Storify highlights + resource links from this week’s #TChat Events? Read the #TChat Recap: “Bring Your ‘Genius’ to Work.“)

Happiness at work. Passion for your profession. Finding your bliss.

These days, we hear a lot about the importance of being emotionally connected with our careers.

Sounds like a nice idea — but it’s much more than that. Research shows that it’s a key driver of professional performance. It’s also an essential aspect of employee engagement. Yet statistics show that, for most of us, it remains an elusive goal.

Bucking the Trend

This week at #TChat Events, we’ll look at how each of us can defy those statistics by gaining better understanding of our individual strengths and motivations — and by putting those insights to work through better career choices.

We’ll also look at why it’s smart for business to encourage this kind of investigation and discovery.

And who better to help lead this discussion than career management expert, Maggie Mistal? Before establishing herself as the personality behind the long-running SiriusXM radio show, “Making A Living,” Maggie was Director of Learning & Development at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Also joining us is Laura Rolands, a former HR executive at Chrysler, who, with Maggie’s guidance, launched a rewarding practice as an ADHD coach.

Sneak Peek: Finding Your “Career Core”

To frame this week’s events, I spoke briefly with both Maggie and Laura about how and why it pays for all of us to pursue careers that leverage our strengths. Watch the hangout now:

This discussion has potential to help each of us find more fulfilling work lives, while helping organizations develop more effective talent strategies. So join the #TChat crowd this week to share your ideas and opinions with other “world of work” professionals!

#TChat Events: Claiming Your “Core” Career

#TChat Radio — Wed, Feb 5 — 6:30pmET / 3:30pmPT

TChatRadio_logo_020813Tune-in to the #TChat Radio show

Our hosts, Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman talk with Maggie Mistal and Laura Rolands critical about how to find and claim your core career “genius.” Tune-in LIVE online this Wednesday!

#TChat Twitter — Wed, Feb 5 — 7pmET / 4pmPT

Immediately following the radio show, Meghan, Kevin and our guests will move to the #TChat Twitter stream, where we’ll continue the discussion with the entire TalentCulture community, in a live chat moderated by Dr. Nancy Rubin.

Everyone with a Twitter account is invited to participate, as we address these 5 related questions:

Q1: How can we align our career aspirations with our strengths?
Q2: When a job isn’t fulfilling, what can we do to take charge of our career?
Q3: How can we continually identify and develop skills and talents?
Q4: What value does business gain from encouraging “career genius” in employees?
Q5: How can new technology help us redirect and manage our careers?

Throughout the week, we’ll keep the discussion going on the #TChat Twitter feed, and on our new G+ community. So feel free to drop by anytime and share your questions, ideas and opinions.

We’ll see you on the stream!

Everybody's Story Matters: #TChat Recap

/ /by

“Everybody’s story matters.”

That sentiment is from an amazing interactive storybook we’ve been watching with my older daughter on the iPad. It’s called The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore and it’s all about the importance and power of reading books and stories.

Everybody’s story, including yours and yours and yours.

As I wrote Monday, when TalentCulture founder Meghan M. Biro and I launched #TChat last November, we had no idea it would take off like it did. It’s been an amazing journey and we are more inspired more than ever to keep the conversation moving forward.

To now keep the stories moving forward and to actually elevate 140 character Twitter texts into the spoken word every now and again. And the fact is, stories were told aloud for thousands of years before they were Tweeted and read.

We launched #TChat Radio last night and you can listen to the replay if you missed it. A special thank you to all our guests and to everyone who dialed in and listened as well as participating on the #TChat Twitter channel.

We’ve nurtured a fantastic online community of professionals and enthusiasts that we hope to continue to deliver value and grow relationships with our World of Work audience. This eclectic group of fabulous talent is comprised of leaders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, HR, career pros, recruiters, business consultants, marketers, public relations and social media enthusiasts, bloggers, job seekers, and a variety of eclectic innovative passersby.

The stories we share are all about re-imagining how we lead, acquire, empower and retain our workforce today, with emotional connectivity and global cultural inclusivity. It’s about the intersection of Talent + Culture, the wickedly wonderful World of Work.

Businesses will come and go. Jobs will come and go. The economy will ebb and flow.

But everybody’s story matters. Thank you for yours.

Look for our next #TChat Radio show on Tuesday, August 30. We’ll be back next week with our usual #TChat Twitter Chat.

The #TChat Twitter Chat and #TChat Radio are created and hosted by @MeghanMBiro and @KevinWGrossman, and powered by our partners @Monster_WORKS, @MonsterCareers, @HRmarketer, and @Focus.

On Air Talent: Introducing #TChat Radio

/ /by

When TalentCulture founder Meghan M. Biro and I launched #TChat last November, we had no idea it would take off like it did.

Of course we had expectations, but still had no idea. We rotate topics each week to encompass a wide range of topics that affect all of us globally in the World of Work.

There are hundreds of Twitter Chats out there today competing for every tweeter’s frenetically brief but unique attention span – the Twitter events where participants talk about various subjects across industries and use a hashtag (like #TChat) to manage the chat stream.

It’s been an amazing journey. We are inspired now more than ever to keep the conversation moving forward. We’ve done over 30 shows to date and have nurtured a fantastic online community of professionals and enthusiasts that we hope to continue to deliver value and grow relationships with our interesting audience.  This eclectic group of talent is comprised of leaders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, HR, career pros, recruiters, business consultants, marketers, public relations and social media enthusiasts, bloggers, job seekers, and a variety of eclectic innovative passersby. Usually we have hundreds of participants per week using the #TChat hashtag, extending our broader “Tweet Reach” into the hundreds of thousands.

If you’re not familiar with our weekly Twitter #TChat (TalentCulture Chat), we discuss what affects us all. It’s all about the re-engineering of business today, of the way we work and the why of it all in the 21st century — The Business and Social World of Work. It’s about re-imagining how we lead, acquire, empower and retain our workforce today, with emotional connectivity and global cultural inclusivity. It’s about the intersection of Talent + Culture. We ask a series of questions and let all participants answer and share during the #TChat hour.

And now it’s time to hear us speak. Literally hear us speak.

#TChat Radio launches on Focus, the business expert network, on Tuesday, July 26, from 8-9 p.m. ET & 7-8 p.m. CT & 6-7 p.m MT & 5-6 p.m. PT (the same Tuesday time slot for all the #TChat’s). We are global so see here if you need a compass. For now it will be a monthly show, although we may move to bi-weekly sooner than later.

That all depends on you.

Our first show, The Talent Biz, will include the following topics from previous #TChat shows:

  • What does HR need to do to become better business partners to the rest of us?
  • 5 job search myths and the new recruiting realities HR pros need to know
  • A look at employer branding and how it plays into talent acquisition and company culture
  • And anything else appropriate we can shove into 45 minutes

We also wanted to keep our inaugural show “in the family” with our first guests, those who have been with the TC community for some time and who participate regularly. They include:
