At
the last meeting, we had an active discussion about the OC CIO Round Table. The
attendance at this one was a healthy 14, which is good. We agreed to modify the
frequency of the meetings to one every other month. The next meeting will be on March 12 at 7:00
– 9:00 a.m. CIOs can invite their “rising stars” (a member of their group with
the most promise) to one meeting a year.
Topic: Self
Promotion and Career Development
William Zauner and Keith Golden invited Susan Howington,
Power Connections, and Devin Hornick, KORE 1, to share their ideas with the
group.
Susan has presented to the group in the past. She challenged the members to define their
reputation – both with people you know and digitally, with people you don’t
know. Her message is that you need your
own unique brand - your character, attitude and persona. Her presentation (see attached) included
several slides to help you get started on developing your brand.
Devin focused on the projected hiring explosion in 2015, and
how to attract and/or retain the talent that you are searching for, or want to
retain – by being flexible. Companies
will use mobile and social media to attract talent. The hottest skills include anything Cloud,
and SAP and Microsoft tools experience.
He listed some of the clients. Don’t loose touch with the salary ranges,
and the differences. His slides include
lots of ideas, including paying for education, flexible work options and
schedules.
This was a very interactive session and many different ideas
and approaches were shared.
