Members speaking at User Groups

The Midlands PASS chapter is approaching two years old. We've had some great speakers from the outside like MVPs Brian Knight , John Welch , and Wayne Snyder . We've got another great one coming with Darren Herbold next week. One area we've really struggled is getting users to speak. I've...

SQL Saturday in Orlando

The dates for Microsoft's TechEd 2008 are fast approaching here in North America. Sandwiched between the two weeks of this year's TechEd is the SQL Saturday Tweener , which will also be held at the Orange County Convention Center. Unfortunately, I'm not headed to TechEd this year, but if...

Technical Podcasts I Listen To

There are a few podcasts I tend to listen to as I have time. Since I work with a wide range of technologies, I've tried to group them together into a semblance of order. There are a few others I am evaluating, but since I haven't listened to a large enough body of work, I'll refrain from...

ACM, 5 Year Anniversary, and Customer Service

Time moves by and I was surprised to get a coffee mug in the mail from ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) announcing my fifth anniversary as a member, and also received an email with the same message. I joined ACM originally because it was part of a professional development plan posted on www...

Thoughts on Mentoring - Part 2

It's always good to find a book or two on a subject when you want to be good at something. I grabbed two from Amazon, the first being The Elements of Mentoring ($15) and I've found it to be a very good book. It's actually written by a mentor/protege pair! The book breaks mentoring down into...

Thoughts on Mentoring - Part 1

Mentoring is something I think a lot of us wish for and that few of us find. Few businesses encourage it and even if they do, in my experience it's absolutely about chemistry - can't be an arranged marriage! It's been on my mind lately as in the course of a few weeks I've had several...

Other Thoughts on Brand Building

Just a link today, but a good one on Building a Powerful Reputation that is a nice follow up to my recent posts about Building YOUR Brand and Building Your Brand - Part 2 .

Building YOUR Brand - Part 2

Yesterday I posted Building YOUR Brand that described a formula for becoming rich and famous. Well, perhaps richer than you are now anyway. It's fine to have a formula, but in practice there's more to it than having and following the formula. So in that line of thought, I've got a few follow...

Building YOUR Brand

Between teaching classes, attending community events, and participating in the local user group I get to have a lot of interesting conversations from a diverse group of people. Diverse in the positive sense. One question I get occasionally is along the lines of 'what can I do to grow my career'...
