The Talent Management Blog Power Rankings honored All Things Workplace with a #3 in the top Talent/Recruiting/HR/Human Capital Blogs.
This is genuinely humbling for a number of reasons:
1. Every one of the blogs is on my daily reading list and represents a unique point of view.
2. The panel who voted excluded their own blogs, each of which is a personal powerhouse.
3. It was a total surprise. I didn't know they were up to this.
4. I was in the midst of working on a Talent Management design for a client company when the news showed up in an email.
If you don't yet subscribe to FOT, one click will get you access to folks who are active in their respective disciplines and offer up worthwhile information every day. Kris Dunn spent a huge amount of time getting FOT off the ground and it was a winner coming out of the gate.
Speaking of winners: check out deserving First Place dude Jim "Wow" Stroud as he responds to the news:
Congratulations. Your blog spans a number of areas very well and it's neat to see you receiving recognition in them.

Hey, Beth, thanks for taking the time to give it a mention.
Now I'm starting to wonder if I lack focus:-)

Nah, what you write fits in with your title and your mission - "ALL things workplace" covers quite a bit of ground but is still a focus and you keep the "teaching smart people practical ways to become extraordinary" within that realm instead of trying to include exercise and volunteering and parenting and such things, except as occasional spice.
Yes, I know you were joking but I couldn't just leave it there. :)

Ok, Beth,
Well, now I've got to delete the next post on "Public Service at Your Local Day Care Center: How To Lose Weight and Gain New Parenting Skills."
It really was quite good. . .

Get 'im, Beth - we certainly don't want Steve to develop a swelled head from all of these recent accolades.
