Personal Branding - A recruiter's survival guide?
Posted by: Alan Whitford in tips, social networking, Recruitment, Global recruitment conference, An De Jonghe on 15 Jan 09





In a sense, today confirmed that. We had an excellent group of delegates, professional and committed to their industry and their business, eager to learn from the 3 Talking Heads and the hosts. All 3 of us tried to engage with the delegates (none of us are what might be considered wallflowers when it comes to speaking to an audience). We had a few in the audience who were willing to discuss their company, strategy, questions and experiences. Feedback from delegates at the breaks and the post event drinks was excellent, delegates were happy, had learned and gathered real value from the day. The organisers (Jim and Gary) had two successful events and the sponsors/exhibitors did well. But for Felix, Raymond and I, it felt a bit like an opportunity lost - for the delegates to engage in real debate and discussion with each other throughout the afternoon (although it did happen during the breaks).
That brings me full circle to Engagement - the real essence of an Unconference. Track leaders start a conversation, hoping to guide it a bit and sometimes act as a referee if required. The participants in the track drive the discussion/debate -its direction may go places other discussions just cannot reach. In any session, the engagement of individuals - with each other, with a track leader or two (if we are lucky) is exhilarating. Learning what challenges others have (Hey, look at me, I'm not so far behind) or successes someone is experiencing (Hey, if he/she can do that, we sure can!) - make it worthwhile flying 4,000 miles and taking a 3 hour bus ride to get to Madison. As it was worth it for the North Americans who flew over for #truLondon.
