Dawn Burke Offers Up #SHRM12 Advice: Love The One You’re With

Burke

I worry too much.  I beg you…don’t.

So… you do need to spend some time planning what you want to do.  Hell… 4 planning hours total should do it.  If you need a little help with this, check out China Gorman’s post Maximizing Your Conference Investment.  Spend a little time creating a basic map of what you want to hear, what you want to see and who you want to network with…

FOT Background Check

Dawn Burke
Dawn Hrdlica (PHR) is VP of People at DAXKO. That's right - the very DAXKO that our very own KD is an alum of because there are only so many people (okay, just one) in the big B'ham who are worthy of that VP of People title. Dawn would be it. Former actor/singer/retail guru, her HR career has spanned the last decade. A true Generalist she’s done a little bit of everything, but recruiting and training is where she gets her mojo. She's based in the good 'ole blogging capitol of the south, Birmingham, Alabama, where you can frequently find her listening to the Beatles and REM, watching tons of Sex in the City reruns, drinking copious amounts of coffee and wine, and wondering how in the world this theatre grad ever got into football or HR…. Talk to Dawn via emailLinkedIn, or Twitter...
