How did you hear about Smaller Indiana?

Friend

What is your greatest strength?

My ability to break down complex problems into actionable solutions and to explain things in as simple of terms as possible. My overall key strength is my passionate intensity. Once I get excited about something, fully buy in, and believe in it, I am a very good and convincing spokesman.

What are you working on?

A juggling act. By day I am a Director of Business Development for Bernard HODES Group, a division of Omnicom, and one of the leading and most talented and respected Recruitment Advertising Agencies in the World. In this role, I am responsible for the identification of new business opportunities in the areas of Employment Branding, Recruitment Marketing, Interactive Website Development, and Employee Communications.

By night and weekend, I am a co-Founder and Strategist for PickyList (http://pickylist.com). While I am effectively balancing both, the PickyList launch has consumed a great deal of my passion of late. I am in the process of growing my Indianapolis Network and enjoying the local focus.

Not necessarily burning out, but definitely wrestling with how best to evolve and compartmentalize more effectively. So many tools, so little time.

Employee Free Choice Act is a looming WAR, and Social media WILL play a key role in who "wins"

If you aren't yet familiar with the Employer Free Choice Act, you likely will be soon. The Employer Free Choice Act is a piece of legislation which would change federal law with regards to the rights of workers to unionize. Specifically, it would allow employees to form unions by signing cards authorizing union representation, establish harsher penalties for employers who violate employee rights when workers seek to form a union, and institute new mediation and arbitration processes for first-co… Continue

5 Suggestions for your Job Search...

OK, for whatever reason you have found yourself unemployed. You might be a little shell shocked, but you have come to grips with it and need to replace your lost income as soon as possible. The first thing you should do is realize that while unemployment is stressful, at least it affords you the luxury of testing the market and possibly finding 'that perfect job', if it exists. Now that you aren't going to work every day, you have all your time to dedicate to finding, not just a job, but the RIG… Continue

My top 15 daily applications... What do you use on a daily basis?

There are so many valuable applications out there, I thought I would share my go-to list of daily use applications and hopefully see what others have found to be "must have" daily applications. I don't have Mac or P.C. (I use both daily) google, nor email listed as all 3 are implied. I also did not list the iPhone, the best application I use.

This is very difficult and not necessarily in perfect order, but here gos... Top 15 List Continue

Kudos to High Rise CRM, another brilliantly simple, but extremely usable application from 37 Signals

I have never been a huge fan of CRMs. I know they are necessary and without them effective sales, business development, and client support would not be possible, but they are still painful to manage. My primary beef with most CRMs is the fact that they all try to provide every piece of functionality that any user ever might want and the end result is a cluttered, unusable dashboard of feature sets of which only a small percentage are ever used. As a result, the load and wait times become unbeara… Continue

Technology Doesn't Always Win, but it certainly helps...

Over the past 2 years, I slowly but surely evolved from a technology infant, to a bit of a technology geek (as far as I knew) and back to where I again, although sitting on the edge of the technology frontier, feel like a bit of a tech-neophyte in many respects. Just when I think I have a good vantage point of the landscape, I turn around and everything has moved forward fairly drastically. Combine all the daily advances along with products like Webkit and Flex SDK, and it has created a constant… Continue

At 9:25am on April 6, 2009, Dan Doll said…: Hello, Mark, I am new to Sm.Ind. and really not quite sure if I 'fit'. I will be working with what time I can spare to explore this site and develop some skills in communication with members. You are far more accomplished in your technological skills (I think everybody is!) than myself, so I have a long way to go. Thanks for wanting me as a friend. Feel free to offer any advice as I can use it. Dinosaur Dan-lol

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
