He's here! He's there! He's everywhere! Mike Pierce!

I sat down recently with my good friend and HR colleague, Mike Pierce, to talk about relationshiping, the power of our networks and the great work he's doing with DallasHR, one of the largest SHRM chapters in the Unites States. Mike is a lot of things, but I think of him as an educator. He's incredibly knowledgeable about his craft (employee benefits) and he shares his knowledge readily and makes it easy to consumable in language that's easy to understand. I hope you'll enjoy the conversation as much as we had having it.

Mike Pierce is a Vice President at Lockton, the world’s largest independent insurance brokerage. His specialty is helping companies with their employee benefits programs and strategies. Specifically in the area of health, welfare and retirement.

His strategies and methods have helped employers ensure they are getting maximum return on their employee benefits spend. As well as ensuring their employee benefit philosophies and programs are aligned with the overall business goals.

Mike also serve as a volunteer leader with DallasHR and volunteer at Highland Park United Methodist Church. In his work with DallasHR he is the President-Elect and sits on the Operations Board.

I spent time with my friend and former colleague, Albert Pont, recently to talk about networking, how building strong, effective relationships has helped his career and to share some fun stories of how we met and working together at Pizza Hut years ago.

Albert Pont is the Regional Vice President of Operations for the Southeast part of the country for Wingstop. Over a 30 year career, Albert has held progressive roles in the QSR industry with global brands including Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Subway.

I recently spent time with my friend and fellow HR colleague to talk about relationshiping, the job search, pet peeves and what networking means to her. What started out as fun, competitive banter (Texas vs. OU) has blossomed into a great friendship and trusted HR colleague that I can rely upon as a sounding board. I hope you'll tune in for this fun, lighthearted conversation about networking and the importance of building relationships.

A year ago today, I launched this podcast and published my very first episode.

I have loved every moment of this journey and I'm excited to see where it will take me and the new people that I'll meet along the way. Creating content like this has stretched me in ways that I was unfamiliar with and I feel like I've tapped into a part of me that I've never known. I'm blessed to have some amazing people in my life that I've been able to introduce to listeners and share their stories and the great work they're doing through my podcast. I'm excited about what's to come in 2020 and hope that you'll tune in and join me!

I sat down recently with Timothy Wheeler, President and CEO of Wheeler Staffing Partners, a staffing firm based in Allen, Texas. We talked about how we got connected, shared stories about networking, and the importance of leveraging tools like LinkedIn as a job seeker and working professional. Timothy's easy demeanor and years of experience in the business made this a great conversation!

For Timothy, recruiting started at an early age as he was a sought after football recruit coming out of his high school near Oklahoma City. Early on, he saw the good, the bad, and the ugly side of recruiting of high-level athletes. After finishing his football career and college degree at Texas A&M University - Commerce, he decided to start a recruiting career with one of the nation's largest staffing firms, Aerotek. The rest, as they say, is history. Over the last 24 years, he's worked several recruiting jobs eventually becoming President/COO of HLP Solutions, an IT, Telecommunications, Engineering staffing firm based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In 2012, he became CEO and Partner of WheelHouse Resource Partners, another staffing firm based in Plano, Texas.

Wheeler Staffing Partners started in his house and has grown to nearly 90 employees. The firm just celebrated their five-year anniversary. 

When he's not working requisitions and landing people jobs, he spends his time on the football field...as a coach. Timothy's got a passion for youth sports and gives back by coaching young boys who are getting ready to play junior high football in Rockwall, Texas.

I sat down with Alex Ju just weeks away from his graduation from the University of Texas at Austin to talk about networking, relationshiping, the job search process for a graduating senior, and how he managed to juggle multiple priorities during his time college career. Alex is a friend, a Texas Wrangler brother, and an all-around good guy who's got a very bright future ahead of him as he begins his career with Lockheed Martin in Littleton, Colorado. I especially appreciate his personal mantra - put yourself out there, stay humble, and be resilient.

About Alex Ju

Alex Ju was born and raised in Houston,Texas. After graduating from High School in 2014, Alex decided to follow in his parents footsteps and attend their alma mater, The University of Texas at Austin. While there, he studied mechanical engineering and economics.

He led an organization of 108 college students to serve the school and local community. During the summers of 2016 and 2017, Alex returned home to Houston, Texas and interned with TechnipFMC in new product development and supplier quality improvement programs. The new product development internship, he was exposed to the product development process, including concept selection, detailed design, prototyping and functional testing. In the supplier quality improvement internship, he gained knowledge and skills in root cause analysis by assisting suppliers in quality improvement and learned the importance of building relationships with suppliers by working collaboratively with them to drive product quality improvement. During the Summer of 2018, right before his senior year of college, Alex interned at Ford Motor Company as a Process Engineering Intern at the Van Dyke Transmission plant in Detroit, Michigan. Alex was tasked to optimize production cycle time for machining transmission cases.  By applying Six-Sigma principles, Alex collaborated with Union Automotive Workers to implement three improvement ideas to reduce the cycle time by 19%, resulting in a total cost saving of more than $4.5 million over the next five years.

Marcos and I have been friends since Fall 1993, when we were both attending the University of Texas and going through the Maverick program (www.texaswranglers.org) together. Despite time and space, we've managed to stay closely connected over the years and I've always been fascinated by the work he does writing and directing movies. I recently had the opportunity to catch up with him when he was on tour (literally, he was walking to dinner with the band when we did this interview) with In The Valley Below, promoting his new movie, "The Pink Chateau".  We talked about his journey from Austin to Manhattan to Miami to Hollywood and all the twists and turns along the way, in addition to the power of networking and building effective relationships.

Writer/director Marcos Efron was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and raised in Houston, Texas. Following a short career in finance, Marcos moved to Los Angeles and learned his craft from the ground up, writing and directing commercials, short films, and award-winning music videos. He is a Nicholl Fellowship Quarterfinalist (screenwriting fellowship for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences - aka the Oscars) for LOVE NOTES, a script based on his Sundance short film "Common Practice." Following that, Marcos co-wrote and directed AND SOON THE DARKNESS with Amber Heard and Karl Urban for Studiocanal. Other work includes the rewrite of AMAPOLA for Fox International, the one-hour series BIRMINGHAM for Sony TV, the book-to-series adaptation of IRONFIRE with Jon Cassar (“24”) directing, the adaptation of the young adult novel THE DECLARATION for Laurence Mark Prods/Sony Pictures, and the adaptation of the historical memoirs TRIALS OF THE EARTH for Morgan Freeman and producer Kerry Hamilton. Marcos has just wrapped production on the feature-length music video for In The Valley Below. His next feature is slated to shoot in 2019, with Lynwood Spinks (PASSENGERS) producing. Marcos’s first novel, the young adult adventure BEYOND CITADEL, is available in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

About Jan Watson

With over two decades of global business development and job-placement experience ranging from the corridors of Capitol Hill to the front lines of the healthcare industry, Jan is recognized as being on the cutting edge of science to position people in their strengths. With an impressive track record in domestic and international sales, marketing, and training, she is a powerful presenter, trainer and author committed to creating positive company cultures, seamless teams and helping individuals transition strategically into their next career path and purpose.  

Behavior Diversity™ 

In 2009, Jan left the top ranks of a multi-national ophthalmic industry leader and started her consulting firm, training and mentoring individuals and groups to become more efficient individually and collectively, maximizing their strengths.  While surveying and analyzing scientific results of individual behavior traits and their influence on successful team dynamics and employee turnover, Jan found that true diversity extends beyond the external and physical, but to the differences we can’t see, Behavior Diversity™.  Individuals possessing extremes of such behavior traits as assertiveness, decisiveness or sociability, may perceive themselves as being bullied, causing feelings of isolation or may perceive others as weak or unengaged, leading to turnover.  Understanding individual ranges and how to bridge behavior “resistance gaps” decreases miscommunication, facilitates safe and healthy conversations, and increases workplace satisfaction rates. 

Social Justice and Workforce Development Programs 

As Jan’s desire to help others create dynamic change grew into her life’s purpose, she transitioned her company into the non-profit organization, Better Job Fit, Inc.  She is committed to social justice and counsels the Veteran and Foster Care populations, maintaining strong alliances with non-profit agencies such as The River Jordan Legacy, American Veterans Alliance and Vet Power to create internships and permanent placements for those in transition and too often neglected or overlooked in their struggles to start over.

Take a ride with Bruce Waller and I in the "carpool lane"! In this episode, we talk about networking, vulnerability, the importance of showing up, three different types of networks (external, internal and social), and Bruce's book, "Find Your Lane".
