The secret ingredient in Pepsi is happy. Shhhh.

Posted Thursday, June 25, 2009 7:47 AM by HeatherLeigh
I flew into Dallas on Tuesday and yesterday gave a presentation at PepsiCo's Talent Acquisition Meeting. It was one of those presentations where I've been talking for 5 minutes and then I get the signal that I only have 5 minutes left and I have no idea Read More...

My love is fleeting.

Posted Friday, December 19, 2008 2:39 PM by HeatherLeigh
So the "hunkering down" is really starting to get to me. To the point that calling one of my ex-boyfriends sounds like a good idea. No booze required. Working from home is one thing. Not having a conversation of any length about anything than work for Read More...

If I was waiting to blog when I become less busy, it ain't gonna happen

Posted Tuesday, September 09, 2008 10:33 AM by HeatherLeigh
OK,OK, you probably think I am a slacker. It's been super busy at work, in a good way. My team is getting to know our staffing leaders in our global development centers. There's a cascade of work that happens from there: -Assessing their needs for leads, Read More...

Now that my new blog header is up (can you see it now?), it's time to have some fun. The guys over at Pragmatic Marketing have published their book, Tuned In . And yeah, I am mentioned briefly (I'm on page 169-170). I've already heard good things about Read More...

Saved from blog bleh

Posted Tuesday, July 08, 2008 11:22 AM by HeatherLeigh
Like my new header? I had secretly hoped that someone would do something like this for me, but you know, I can't really ask. HUGE thanks to Derek for making my blog considerably less bleh! Read More...

Now with 73% more photographic goodness

Posted Monday, June 02, 2008 10:17 AM by HeatherLeigh
I did that focus group for Sunset Magazine last week. Although I would have talked for free about something that I like so much, the money was for putting on make-up and getting in my car. Anyway, as we talked about the magazine, what we like and don't Read More...

Blogging with Style

Posted Monday, June 02, 2008 9:43 AM by HeatherLeigh
I can't tell you how many times I explain my blogging to people and they simply don't get it. I think it's the combination of the fact that I am blogging as a work activity and that I write about personal things that have them all confused. As time moves Read More...

The greatest invention ever...

Posted Saturday, March 29, 2008 2:15 PM by HeatherLeigh
...index cards. I swear. When I was in high school, a teacher taught us how to use note cards to construct a paper: you make an outline, transfer it to note cards and then add extra cards throughout to supplement with content. You re-order, create transitions Read More...

The incredible weirdness of blogging

Posted Thursday, March 27, 2008 8:42 AM by HeatherLeigh
You may have thought that I was kidding about the tequila last night but I was not. I love the idea of celebrating little things in life like finishing a project or buying a new car. So anyway, off we went to Matador in Redmond last night. I wanted to Read More...

What is up with these facebook people?

Posted Wednesday, March 26, 2008 4:01 PM by HeatherLeigh
I feel a rush of snark to the brain. You can only hold the snark down for so long and then something has to pop. Right now? It's some of the asshattery that is taking place on facebook. And I fully expect to update this post regularly, if you know what Read More...

Looking for info: blogging in Asia and Australia

Posted Saturday, March 22, 2008 7:33 PM by HeatherLeigh
Sitting down tonight (I know) to work on some slides for a presentation I am doing in Australia to an audience of Asians and Australians about blogging. Well, I know enough about blogging in the US to get by, but I don't know much about how it's different Read More...

My blog is a pre-schooler

Posted Saturday, March 22, 2008 12:48 PM by HeatherLeigh
I missed this last week, partly because I don't really care (does the age of your blog mean anything?) and partly because I'm under an avalanche at work and partly because I've got a lot of stuff going on outside of work that is clogging up my brain. Read More...

Blog commenter self-awareness

Posted Thursday, March 13, 2008 3:51 PM by HeatherLeigh
Every blogger knows a couple of these. Some of us may have even done this before. Timbaland says: resist the urge, step away from the keyboard and decide whether you still care tomorrow and how much of an ass hat you appear to be online. If you think Read More...

An Analysis of Social Networking Sites

Posted Monday, January 21, 2008 1:07 PM by HeatherLeigh
I know a large number of "experts" (and also experts) have done analysis on social networking sites. One of my team members is doing an analysis for recruiting. Right now, he's planning on looking into LinkedIn, Orkut, MySpace, Facebook and Xing. I know Read More...
