Join us each week as experts help us explore issues shaping the world of work! The TalentCulture #TChat weekly show is back live on Wednesday, December 18, 2013. #TChat Radio will start at 6:30 pm ET (3:30 pm PT), and immediately after, our entire community will continue the conversation on #TChat Twitter from 7-8 pm ET. Last week we talked about the candidate experience, and this week we’re going to discuss your emotional experiences - and how they affect everything you do in the world of work. Just over three years ago the first ever #TChat was about emotional intelligence, an important subject for most #TChat-ters. According to this week's guest, emotions drive our behaviors and performance, which makes or breaks our leadership. Usually we operate at high performance about 83 percent of the time — but it’s the other 17 percent where emotions run high, and that's where our reputations are built. Emotional self-management is critical to personal influence, impact and inspiration, even for the naysayers this time of the year. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about managing our emotions at work and at play: Steve Gutzler, President of Leadership Quest, a Seattle-based leadership development company. This will be another informative “world of work” show and the last one before the New Year. Join us!

Last week we discussed the one-person HR department, and this week, what if we told you there wasn’t as much as a difference between the five generations in the workplace as we’ve been led to believe?  In fact, what if we told you Millenials of either gender are asking for the same respect as our fathers and mothers are asking for in the world of work? Would you believe it? Well, you should. The latest research results of the 2013 Candidate Experience Awards are being finalized after receiving nearly 50K candidate responses and the report will be out early in January 2014 — it speaks of this insight and much more. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we all the latest “candidate experience” insights from our guests: Elaine Orler,  President and Founder of Talent Function Group and Chairman of the Talent Board; and Gerry Crispin, international speaker, author and acknowledged thought leader and Co-Founder of the CareerXroads Colloquium.

We hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! Last time we met we celebrated our 3-year anniversary, and this week we're talking about the one-person HR department. “Get it for a dime — and get it on time!” That’s the mantra for this week’s guests — two Human Resources professionals who have both run one-person HR shops in various organizations. Not easy to do, mind you. Feeling like you’re all alone with zero budget and no time for career development while pressured to help scale and grow the business? If so, then you'll have to learn how to be more prepared for the job’s demands and still keep the positive culture vibes pulsing through your veins. You also have to learn how to organize the HR job across all talent-related activities. Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn the tips and tricks of a one-person HR department with our guests: Donna Rogers, SPHR, instructor of management at UIS and owner of Rogers HR Consulting, and Dave Ryan, SPHR, Director of Human Resources at Mel-O-Cream Donuts. This will be another informative “world of work” show. Join us!
