Happy Friday Folks. Today I awoke to about a foot of snow outside. Couldn’t begin to tell you how happy that makes me.

Her Blog

Buzz has an amazing way of using story-telling mixed with a-lot-of-smarts and humor over at “TheBuzzonHR” and is simply a weblog of her thoughts, experiences and wisdom on human resources, management and leadership. I am always learning from her.

Now understand she has created this online persona  ”Buzz Rooney” and along with working a day job, meandering throughout social spaces, she is now providing consulting services and includes resume writing, basic management coaching, organizational process improvement and compliance assistance.

Her Passions

Buzz has a passion to help others, whether it’s online (retweeting, sharing great content, allowing guest posts) or IRL with her employees. It all comes through to those that read her blogs and articles or chat with her on the phone or are connected with her in some fashion. Oh, and from what I hear, she has a few young-ans, and I’m sure she’s passionate about them :)

And like me, she loves The Food Network and to me, that’s reason right there to connect! So do it, already.
