The Journey
I can’t believe I am looking at my blog and it has been almost a year since I have posted anything. It is almost a year since I moved back to New York from Hong Kong. It has been an interesting year. I decided to go back into headhunting in September, and even though it sort of makes me cringe (don’t worry – everyone knows I feel that way) it is a necessary means to an end.
Since moving back to New York, I have enjoyed meeting lots of new friends and trying to balance being back in a Wall Street mentality with everything I have found I love. What do I love? Connecting people. There is something really special about making an introduction that really adds value to two people, and doing it beyond recruitment. One of the fun manifestations of this has been connecting some start-ups that I know with Angel Investors I have connected with.
Going forward I will be writing more about my philosophies on recruitment and networking as well as my general observations on life as always. I am excited to be leading a workshop at The Realtime Conference on “Effective Networking Using Real-time Tools” and I am teaching some Twitter workshops to my start-up friends. I am also in discussions to create a new video show (I miss doing video), so stay tuned for that. I haven’t figured how it all fits together yet, but I suppose that is where the faith in the journey is needed.
It has been an interesting (and sometimes difficult) year of transition, but I can feel the butterfly emerging again! It feels good to be back
