#TChat Radio is all new on Tuesday, January 29, 2013, at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT).   Diversity of ideas, of perspectives -- it’s all about innovation, this diversity; diversity isn’t just about demographics. That’s the premise of this week’s #TChat. We propose an alternative definition of diversity, not a counterpoint to the conventional meaning, but a flourish upon it. Musicians call such things embellishments. Maybe you’ve heard them. Centuries ago, performers would add their own trills (i.e., extra notes) to the composer’s notes. During this week’s #TChat Radio and Twitter #TChat, let’s embrace that sort of innovation in the workplace; let’s explore how to cultivate diversity of ideas in the world of work.   Join co-creators and hosts, Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman and their informative expert guest:   Rob Garcia, (@RobGarciaSJ), Director of Product Strategy & Marketing at RiseSmart, the leader in next-generation outplacement solutions. You won't want to miss it so we hope to see you here!

#TChat Radio is all new on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT).   Endorsements online can mean a lot. They can help an organization’s SEO, and research shows that a large majority percentage of social media users turn to their peers for recommendations on products and services, and not to the organizations themselves that provide these -- a sort of unofficial recommendation. Against the backdrop of social endorsements are the official and unofficial mechanisms for professional endorsements and recommendations that drive careers, too. For this week’s #TChat Radio and Twitter #TChat, we’re going to look into whether or not all online endorsements are created equal, and we’re going to do our best to extrapolate as many key takeaways as possible applicable to the world of work.   Join co-creators and hosts, Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman and this week's expert guests: Dr. Marla Gottschalk, Practice Manager in Organizational Development at Rand Gottschalk & Associates, a management consultant focusing on organizational change and performance development. Mike Dwyer, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Market Development at QUEsocial, a social business technology platform that equips employees in recruiting, sales, customer service, product marketing and marketing with job-specific training, content and motivation to convert social media activities into desired outcomes. This is one show you don't want to miss. We'll see you here!

#TChat Radio is all new on Tuesday, January 15, 2013, at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT).   When you recognize your employees and show thanks to them, do you fake it? Maybe or probably not, but does it seem like you do, to them? That’s a conundrum, how organizations can project genuine gratitude and authentic recognition. We’re not saying you don’t mean it, but your employees need to know you mean it. They gotta feel it, too. This week we look at these dynamics, including technology’s proper role, and along the way, we take a stab at solving a couple related, chicken-and-egg riddles. This week’s #TChat Radio and Twitter #TChat will help to answer these questions and give us all hope for a better employee recognition outlook.   Join co-creators and hosts, Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman and this week's expert guests: Ted Coine, a recognized author, blogger and social media commenter on leadership, workplace culture, entrepreneurship, and the effect of social channels on business. He's also the co-founder of Switchandshift.com, a powerful blog about a better way to do business from the human side and the customer side. Rob Catalano, head of Marketing at Achievers, a social employee recognition software that helps engage employees and drive performance globally. This is one show you don't want to miss.

With the true U.S. unemployment rate still high and employee engagement still low, who out there is still looking, who’s given up and who’s about to start?

This week’s #TChat Radio and Twitter #TChat welcome career management experts and candidates alike to help to answer these questions and give us all hope for a better employment outlook.   Join co-creators and Hosts, Meghan M.
