My mother had a stroke when I was 13-years-old and was paralyzed on her left side. While she regained some use, she had a constant numbness on her left side from the waist up for the rest of her life. At that time, she did her best to be the strong mother she had always been, but things changed. know that the experience of my mom's illness changed my life. It may do the same for you. Charmers.

There were some highly engaging exchanges, and a thought provoking result – over two thirds of the participants voted yes! At the time, I didn’t agree, but then, it’s been a particularly enthralling week in social media land! BeKnown mashes up Facebook and mashes up Linkedin.

That means I now have an iPad, which is fair because I''m his creative muse (which I''m sure he would agree with, at least if he wants dinner).

Dear Evil HR Lady, I work for a state supported college. have worked there for 23 years. have been passed up for promotion to the top IT job at the school 3 times in the last 9 years. Each time the top job comes available, the President elects NOT to advertise the position internally or externally and just appoints who he wants to have the job. Each time, the position is filled with one of his cronies or someone with little to no experience or formal education or training in the IT field. I am an African America male with 30 years of experience in IT. Is this discrimination?

Meet the New Boss.Same as the Old Boss. This The Who lyric came to mind as Hank Jackson had the "interim" part of his CEO title removed, as was widely speculated. He shared his rags to riches story, and its nice to know than a failed NBA player can live the dream and become CEO of SHRM. The questions texted to him from the audience made me wonder if that was truly the cream of the crop that were asked. miles today.

The first of the four and a half day SHRM 2011 Annual Conference is in the books. Most of the day was spent with the Student Conference. The consistent theme running through out the day was generational differences. From Aaron Kesher''s opening session to Joshua''s Fredenburg''s keynote address to the social media session to close the day, generational differences were on everyone''s mind. They focused on how to network, the importance of a MBA, how to develop a backbone in HR, how you get into HR, and a few HR horror stories were thrown in for good measure. The volunteers. The networking.

It was really, really, hard to choose and I thank you all. wanted to include the Dam Supervisor from Tales of a Young Recruiter, but it actually is a very good title.

I presented on the opportunities of using social media (and in focusing on social outcomes) at the SAP HR Summit at the end of last week. The session went well and got lots of interest, though only in the room as nobody, other than SAP themselves, were using Twitter. So this reinforced the point I made last week too, that despite the talk, there’s still very little walk going on in this area.

My favourite presentation at last week’s SAP HR Transformation summit focused on SAP itself. Roger Bellis, their European SVP for Talent, Leadership and Organisation Development (and a former client from Barclays) explained that SAP is now a mega company, and its people management challenges are a bit like a teenager moving into adulthood. But of course in China it’s completely different.
