Do we complain too much?  How often do you hear or give sincere praise or a thank you?
Are so much of our efforts concentrated on the critical?  Do we carry this from the workplace to when we are shopping, dining out and then to our homes?
Make the effort to tell someone how good a job they did today.  Be specific and timely.  Recognize your coworker, your boss, even the harried sales clerk at the store who brought you where you needed to be instead of pointing to isle 78. Look someone in the eye and tell them you really appreciated what they did. 
People our waiting to here your gratitude!
Which line are you in?

What is your Klout?

Social Media has created a brand new world.
I worried for years to create a pristine resume, an enviable credit score and now I find my Klout score is under 20.
Klout is a measurement of your influence, particularly through social media like Face Book, blogging. Linked In and Twitter.  Klout measures "True Reach", "Amplification" and "Network Impact"
True Reach measures the size of your audience.  Amplification measures likes, comments and retweets of your actions or posts.  Network impact measures the influence value.
Klout Scores range from 1-100 with President Obama having a score of 90 according to National Public Radio. Loney Moses measures 10.38
As I continue to "dabble" in this brave new world of social media, I will monitor my score and attempt to  correlate this with my recruitment success.
