Nobody runs a marathon without ramping up for the big event. Are you tired? Just about a month ago, I went to an all-day meeting with a bunch of people who are adults, parents and productive members of society. Everybody looked exhausted. scanned the room and saw nothing but droopy eyelids. The thirty-eight-year-old creative director was pounding Red Bull Total Zero®. One more thing.

CHRO panel looks the same at nearly every event. I’m the queen of helping vendors put on better conferences, but nobody asks me to touch the obligatory CHRO panel. That’s too bad. The interviewer always asks Chief HR Officers about policy and culture with an eye towards a “holistic bigger picture” that is never fully described nor understood by the audience.

In theory, it makes sense to take stock of an event when it’s over. I’m not interested in doing a post-mortem on projects, policies or relationships. It sounds healthy to compile a list of “lessons learned.” ” But you know what happens with a post-mortem? Not much. You make a list, file it away, and forget about it. Duh.). Life is sticky.

We had been planning this for at least six months, although we’ve been talking about this event forever. Visiting Chicago is a challenge for me. I was born and raised in the area until I was seventeen. Then I moved back in my twenties for a few years. know so many fun people in my life and have good memories in that city. On the other hand, I have a lot of misplaced anxiety that serves no purpose and makes me weird. If you’re a basic b h, you take all that negative energy and make poor choices.

The company that organizes this event has a foothold in Europe. There’s a big one, a lot of little ones, and some heavily marketed attempts at creating “HR technology events” with “thought leaders” but it’s really just an infomercial.

I’ve never met a public speaker who wasn’t trying to make good on a failed dream. Speakers are humble and use failure as a tool to teach others. Some of us are writers. Some of us are musicians.

(It’s too bad. didn’t know that bubbles had jumped the shark.). jumped the shark a long time ago, and I never say no to free champagne. So I joined the ladies in a bunch of meaningless chit chat about the future of HR. My verdict? It’s all very boring. Let’s talk about something else.

Are networking events worth your time and effort? A new article in the Harvard Business Review (HBR) argues that formal networking events, although a “time-honored institution,” are problematic when it comes to establishing professional connections. Another shared point: face time is key, whether it’s grabbing coffee with a new contact or inviting an old work-friend to an event.

After reading SilkRoad’s 2015 Performance Management survey , I think part of the challenge is that 55 percent of organizations viewed performance reviews as an “event” versus a process. Events are defined as “a thing that happens.” As such, the outcomes of an event can change regularly. What they’re saying is they’re ditching the event and adopting a process.
