About a month ago, I gave a presentation at Boston College on two incredibly fun online TV shows I produce as part of my day job at EMC.
But I didn’t just talk about what I do. I showed people how they can do this, too.
My presentation wasn’t recorded, but I’ve posted it on the Slideshare account we use at the EMC Global Services Career Center to share cool career resources. I’ve modified a few of the slides so that the presentation makes sense without me presenting to it.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments!

Michael’s business career spans 30 years with three leading Fortune 100 companies, including CVS Caremark, PepsiCo and Ford Motor Company.
In his most recent role, Michael was the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer for CVS Caremark, a 215,000 employee retail pharmacy and clinical healthcare provider.
Michael has a long career of managing organizational behavior and workforce development initiatives. Under his leadership, the Department of Labor, the National Council on Aging, and several other notable organizations have recognized CVS Caremark for its commitment to outstanding workforce development.
In 2009, HR Executive magazine named Michael to the “Human Resources Honor Roll.”
Michael earned both a BS and an MS degree in Industrial Education from Rhode Island College. He received a Doctoral Degree in 1995 from Boston University where his major research focused on business process re-engineering.
Podcasts – downloadable audio files people can listen to on their computers, iPods or other mp3 players – are a fun, innovative way to communicate with employees (and potential future employees).
Today, I’m going to give you a few ideas on how you might use podcasts, and then show you how to create your own. Keep reading…
Last week, I showed you how to create slidecast training videos using free software. This week, I’ll teach you how to convert your videos into iPod and mp3 formats.
One of the great benefits of doing this is that your employees can watch or listen to training programs whenever and wherever they want – traveling for business, commuting to work, or even while they work out. Keep reading…
Best Buy has a unique way of managing their employees: You can do whatever you want, whenever you want, as long as your work gets done. That means you can work from the beach, sleep until noon, or sneak out midday to catch a movie.
They don’t when or how you do your work. They care about your outcomes. It’s actually a lot like being in college.
To learn more, check out this presentation that I put together for one of my grad school classes (click play to hear the audio – you can also download the mp3).
Today’s podcast is a how-to guide on influencing your employees to do the things that will make your organizational successful.
