One of the thing I love about blogging is having the opportunity to interview people I admire and respect. Recently, I had the chance to interview Steve Boese. He shared his thoughts about the emerging trends this year.  Next week on “Compassionate HR” we will interview @Sharlyn_Lauby and @Blogging4Jobs. Jessica Miller-Merrell They will discuss their commitment to community service, and the humanitarian projects the serve http://blogtalkradio.com/hrmargo1 .  Our program features the great and laudable things colleagues in my industry do to make our world a better place. There are those who say “good news is boring, it doesn’t sell.”  The beauty of our blogtalkradioshow, Compassionate HR is that we care only about the good deeds others are doing. We don’t care if it sells or not.  With the tragedies taking place in our world, we need a reprieve.  Therefore, Shennee Rutt and I are committed to telling the stories of those who are doing wonderful, caring things in their communities, both locally and world wide.  This is what matters. This is what makes my heart tick. This is what I choose to do. Too often, people’s volunteer work goes unnoticed.  HR is a compassionate profession.  There are some corporations who have sucked the heart and soul out of our industry. There are those who become cynical.  I will not be telling their stories.  The focus of “Compassionate HR,” is to shout the good news from the roof tops.  Nothing touches me more than the good deeds of others.  Margaret Mead once said, “A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
