The growth is in the stretch -- developing your Em-tel™ -- your agile emotional intelligence as it relates to all things world of work, from HR to recruiting to career development and management. Em-tel is just my play on the term “intel” (intelligence = vital information)…

    Reach West is a metaphor for the ultimate stretch assignment, doing something you haven't done before and learning something you haven't learned before. Whether you fail or not the first time, or the third, isn't the point. The growth is in the stretch -- developing your Em-tel™ -- your agile emotional intelligence as it relates to all things world of work, from HR to recruiting to career development and management. Em-tel is just my play on the term “intel” (intelligence = vital information) as it relates to your emotional adaptability in business today beyond literal intellect -- your right brain dancing with your left -- your yin-yang ebb and flow. So reach wise, reach well, Reach West. And read on.

Since November 2010, our weekly #TChat events have attracted talent-minded professionals from across the Twitter universe to discuss hot topics in today's world of work. We focus on a spectrum of issues, including career management, hiring trends, leadership, learning, talent strategy, recruiting, social workplace issues, technology trends and more. There's always something important to discuss when it comes to our daily professional lives. The #TChat Twitter audience has rapidly grown to include thousands of business leaders, HR and recruiting thought leaders, technology innovators and social marketing leaders who connect each Wednesday from 7-8pm ET (4-5pm PT). We experimented with Internet radio simulcasting in 2011, and now we're creating a separate 30-minute radio program on Tuesday nights at 7:30pm ET (4pm PT)! Each Tuesday, TalentCulture Co-Creators and #TChat Radio Hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman interview compelling guests about topics that align with the week's Twitter #TChat theme. But wait — what exactly is #TChat? Why should you spend your Tuesday and Wednesday nights online with us? It's not just two events. It's a community devoted to advancing the human side of business. And the lights are ALWAYS ON our Twitter stream. So it's not just a radio show and a Twitter chat event. It's a living hashtag that connects like-minded people. And you can connect with them ANYTIME for talent-related information, ideas and support. It's easy! Just log on at Twitter and search for hashtag #TChat. See you there! (And hope to see you here on Tuesdays, too!)
