It was just the Animal and me for most of the MagicMethod online chat yesterday (MagicTalk) but we made some headway and touched on neural linguistic programming (like either one of us knows what we're talkin' about) and started to define the different "types" of Gatekeepers...we're going to continue the discussion on the TalkSourcing segment of the Animal's weekly Radio Show on Wednesday, May 13 at 1 p.m. for those of you who would like to call in with your telephone names sourcing questions. His show starts at noon (EST). Call in To Talk: 646-652-2754. You can hear the show but can't be heard until the host (Animal) opens your microphone. A landline and handset work best. Today's guest: Thomas Shaw, Online Recruitment Specialist

From yesterday’s MagicTalk online phone sourcing chat lesson:
MaureenSharib: Phone sourcing sometimes is like playing baseball...you move to first, then to second, then to third...then to home...
Animal: Are you doing TalkSourcing tomorrow? I have to book the time
Animal: Let’s go into detail on that baseball analogy

And we will, if Animal has his way!

Animal advised me to try to push this notice in a “fun way” and I’m tryin’ – I hope you find this fun. He thinks I should ask you for topics for the show so I’m askin’ and if you have anything you’d like to see covered in today’s (or future)TalkSourcing live radio segments let me know!

By the way, there's new content on the MagicMethod site:

“No game in the world is as tidy and dramatically neat as baseball, with cause and effect, crime and punishment, motive and result, so cleanly defined.” ~Paul Gallico
