When we were kids, my younger brother had to put up with teachers comparing the two of us throughout his school years. He was a star athlete, I was more of an academic. He didn't like the comparisons and neither did I. Most of all, the comments did nothing to change either of our lives for the better. To this day, he doesn't care much about "A's" and I still can't kick a field goal.

Recently, I had a candidate who I spoke to over the phone, and I thought he was great. He came in to meet with us, and again, we thought he was great. asked him to disclose his compensation requirements because we wanted to move forward with an offer and he didn’t want to disclose.

101 Half Connected Things

OCTOBER 7, 2015

I get to go to a lot of conferences and I also get to speak at a lot of events too. So I spend quite a bit of time wrestling with content vs delivery. I’m lucky enough to work for an organisation that has bags of its own content, but we also have people better positioned to talk about it. We do great research, but it makes more sense to listen to our researchers explain it. So I draw my content from a range of sources, inside and out. think that is healthy. work hard to make sure everything I waffle about can be well referenced. Sometimes I do that better than other times.
