There's another war. It's behind the curtains of U.S. homes, seen at businesses, unemployment lines, roadways, hospitals, VFW's and on your block. It's the war returning servicemen and women face as they struggle to re-adjust to life in the states. Many are beset by depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), substance abuse problems, lack of economic opportunity, anxiety, injuries, and assorted family issues." More than 1.6 million American troops have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11, and many have come home with mental health issues. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine estimated one in eight suffer from PTSD symptoms; another estimates that up to 300,000 have developed some mental health problem. But many don't see a psychiatrist or psychologist, some because they fear the stigma of being labeled mentally ill, some because they won't — or can't acknowledge that they need help. The unemployment rate for returning veterans hit 21.1% in March of last year. Welcome to a Big Picture Channel Podcast on TotalPicture Radio with Peter Clayton reporting. HonorVet.org was founded by two US Marine Vets; Jesse Canella and Jimmy McCain — after they returned from active duty in the Al An Bar Province, Iraq. The organization is devoted to providing resources and support for veterans, service members and their families. I'm honored to have on the show Jesse Canella. The number of service members discharged specifically for mental health reasons is up 64 percent from 2005 to 2009. The unemployment rate for returning veterans hit 21.1% in March of 2010 According to USA Today, the Army reported suicides were at a record high in June 2010. More than 60 percent of Service Members report receiving some kind of mental health care since returning from Iraq or Afghanistan. More than 5 percent of recently returning Service Members showed signs of significant mental health problems. Even more alarming, when these same Service Members were reevaluated 3-6 months later, up to 40 percent exhibited signs of severe emotional distress. According to a recent report by the Department of Veterans Affairs, an average of 18 Veterans commit suicide everyday. Questions Peter Clayton asks Jesse Canella in this podcast: You served in Iraq with Jimmy McCain, Senator John McCain's son. Tell us about the inspiration for forming HonorVet. I've read you were gripped by depression when you returned from Iraq, can you share with us your personal story? Figures released by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in 2010 show a dramatic increase in suicide among veterans aged 18 to 29, due in large part to multiple deployments and the overall stress of combat. These are veterans you don't see in the VA hospitals, am I right? What are some of the biggest challenges facing soldiers transitioning to civilian life? The tagline on HonorVet.org is "The Next Generation Community for Veterans." How so? You recently partnered with System One, a staffing and solutions firm. Tell us about the partnership. Jesse a lot of recruiters, sourcers, and HR professionals listen to this podcast. How can we help you and the HonorVet community?

The Complex Relationship Between Recruiters and Human Resources Generalists

peter@totalpicture.com (Peter Clayton) — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 08:07:14 -0400

According to recruiting guru Jeremy Eskenazi; "It’s uncertain whether the relationship between recruiters and HR generalists is like siblings, spouses, or parent-child (if the latter, it’s also unclear who’s the parent and who’s the child). What is clear is they’re all part of the same family. And it’s mutually beneficial that they get along."

"I think that when you combine that with the convergence of technology with technological advantages that are available now in the way of virtualization, instantaneous communication on a global basis despite our time zones. As top management begin to realize that, they begin to bring that back to the business, back to their business strategy, to their business outlooks, so that the business that classically may have looked first locally, then regionally and then even nationally begin to realize that uh-oh, there are things beyond the borders and it goes beyond the borders; it’s beyond the continent. It’s literally worldwide. And if they’re not looking everywhere at the same time, the competition usually is and they’ll be back on them to their detriment."

Iris Libby: The Changing World of Executive Search - Strategic - Selective - ROI Driven

peter@totalpicture.com (Peter Clayton) — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:21:44 -0400

Prior to October of 2008, a company might have six people performing a certain function and because of budget cuts, staff was reduced to three. So now you have three people performing the job of six, and then more cuts because corporations want to show profits and survive the downturn, so they lay off two people. So now you have one person doing the job of six. So here we are, we call up that candidate who’s doing the job of six, their income hasn’t gone up because of price cuts, and we offer them the job of one for an increase in compensation, you bet they throw their hat in the ring." — Iris Libby

Flip the Funnel — How To Use Existing Customers to Gain New Ones. A Conversation with Joseph Jaffe

peter@totalpicture.com (Peter Clayton) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:25:59 -0500

When Joseph Jaffe and I realized we were neighbors, we decided to conduct our interview in person. About 90% of my podcasts are phone based; it's always enjoyable to have a chance to meet in person. Especially someone as interesting and accomplished as Jaffe. Joseph's new book, Flip The Funnel: How to Use Existing Customers to Gain New Ones (Amazon.com affiliate link), became the topic of conversation when I met with my business partner, Valerie LaSusa, for lunch last week. She has been doing a great deal of research on traditional marketing funnels: eyeballs>> (awareness > consideration > preference > action> loyalty>) >> buyers, and what happens when you turn the funnel upside down. When I pulled Jaffe's book out of my backpack, it was one of those "you must be kidding" moments. Our two hour lunch could have easily gone on for eight hours, discussing the concepts Jaffe writes about in his new book. The author is the former president and "Chief Interruptor" of Crayon, a conversational marketing company, specializing in community, dialogue and partnership. Crayon recently merged with Austin Tx based Powered. Val purchased a copy of Flip the Funnel and helped me prep the interview with Joseph. Stay tuned... Joseph's interview podcast will air Wednesday! Joseph Jaffe Background One of the most sought-after consultants, speakers and thought leaders on new marketing, Joseph Jaffe is Chief Interruptor of Powered, a conversational marketing company, specializing in community, dialogue and partnership. Prior to merging with powered, Jaffe was president of crayon, where he worked with companies including P&G, The Coca-Cola Company, Dunkin’ Brands, TiVo, Motorola and Fox Interactive Media. Before that, Joseph was Director of Interactive Media at TBWA/Chiat/Day and OMD USA, where he worked on Kmart, ABSOLUT Vodka, Embassy Suites and Samsonite. Jaffe’s popular blog and audio podcast, "Jaffe Juice”, provides daily and weekly commentary respectively on all things new marketing. You can join the conversation at . His first book, ”Life After The 30-Second Spot: Energize Your Brand With A Bold Mix Of Alternatives To Traditional Advertising” (Wiley/Adweek) was released in June 2005 and focuses on how advertising is evolving in a world ruled by an empowered consumer and no longer governed solely by the 30-second spot. His second book titled, “Join the conversation: How to engage marketing-weary consumers with the power of community, dialogue and partnership” was published by Wiley in October 2007. Joseph is a Senior Fellow at the Center for the Digital Future at the USC Annenberg School, as well as the Society for New Communications Research. Hailing from South Africa, he lives with his wife, daughter and two sons in Westport, CT.This morning I happened across the above graphic in an older Center Networks post and it triggered a quick thought on a familiar theme.

Over 45? How to Overcome the Grey Ceiling in Your Job Search with career and job search coach Rita Ashley

peter@totalpicture.com (Peter Clayton) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:24:12 -0500

"Overqualified is the easiest answer to give a job seeker when an employer passes on hiring an over 45 year old candidate. It is rarely the real reason; it is the politically correct reason and the safest way to get the candidate to go away. Employers who pass on baby boomers don’t want to ‘handle’ the questions and emotions that result from refusal; they want to move on to the next candidate. Same goes for recruiters." Rita Ashley

You're a member of Generation X - the 30-to-44 age cohort. And you've drawn the short stick when it comes to work. The economy has been stacked against you from the beginning. Worse, you're sandwiched between Boomers (with their constant back-patting blather and refusal to retire) and Gen Y's (with their relentless confidence and demands for attention). You're stuck in the middle - of your life and between two huge generations that dote on each other.

The timing of Marshall’s books is truly remarkable: His New York Times bestseller What Got You Here Won't Get You There was released in 2007. An accurate reflection on the times and the economy? I think so. His latest book, just released this month is titled Mojo: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back if You Lose It. Considering how brutal the economy and job market has been over the past couple of years, I think many of us have struggled to keep our mojo intact.

peter@totalpicture.com (Peter Clayton) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:34:08 -0500

I'm always amazed when consultants tell me they don't like (or want) to sell. Some seem to think the whole sales thing is completely beneath them. Then there are others who say they aren't good at selling. My reaction to both views is, you're kidding, right? You may be the guru in your field, but that won't put a dime in the bank if you can't sell.” Michael McLaughlin
