Michael Goldberg, Vice President and Corporate Controller at Comfort USA, has hosted a series of LinkedIn Live Lunch Hour broadcasts during the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2020, he interviewed LinkedIn coach Judi Fox about content creation, discussing best practices for video and strategies for job seekers to generate content on social platforms. He also spoke with Scott Simson, CEO of Video Marketing World, about the use of video on LinkedIn and YouTube, noting that CEOs and CFOs are increasingly watching YouTube for business content. Goldberg described himself as being "on the LinkedIn side" and discussed the differences between the two platforms. Goldberg has also spoken publicly about his experience creating the massive open online course (MOOC) "Beyond Silicon Valley: Growing Entrepreneurship in Transition Economies." In a 2016 TEDx talk, he stated that the free course had enrolled 58,000 students from 190 countries and had been translated into 14 languages, making it the top translated course on Coursera. He described how students from Macedonia, Iran, and Namibia applied the course's lessons in their local communities, and he emphasized that traditional measures of student success like grades do not apply well in the MOOC world, stating that "it is the action that these students have taken with the information that they have got that matters."
“I'm not a big believer in exit interviews. I think if they're done properly, if they're done timely, if they're done the right way, I think you can get good information from exit interviews. By and large, I don't know that that happens a lot. I think a lot of times what you hear from employees is they'll tell you what...”
“The most effective HR partners actually spend time in the business. They understand the business, they can speak the language of the business. I think where a lot of HR people get it wrong is they've kind of got blinders on that they're really good with the HR stuff and they can talk HR speak all day long, but they're...”
“All right, good morning — this is Michael Goldberg coming to you live from isolation headquarters in Dallas, Texas and welcome to the LinkedIn Live lunch hour special edition.”
“I'm on the LinkedIn side and so we'll talk about the differences on both platforms because he does do some great video pieces and we'll talk about Video Marketing World and how it's going virtual.”
“If you feel cooped up get out of the house — just don't go in a large group of people; go on a walk and you'll feel better. Hope everybody's doing healthy and is safe — that's the key here.”
“Look, I'm in the recruiting business — in the TA business — and our CEOs and CFOs are looking at YouTube more than they are LinkedIn, so from a business standpoint it's important to consider where leadership is watching.”
“If you want tickets for Video Marketing World, feel free to DM me — send me information about the videoconference and I'll share details.”
“One thing I'm seeing an uptick in from a video perspective are these virtual happy hours — I'm worried we're going to zap the Zoom out of Zoom given bandwidth demand; companies like Spectrum, Time Warner and Cox are already feeling pressure.”
“I hope everybody out there watching this live or on the replay is healthy and safe — have a great indoor weekend.”
“Vietnam's leaders were very interested in trying to move their economy beyond street vendors and factory garment workers and they dreamed of the high tech kind of jobs and higher paying jobs that exist in Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley was their fantasy and they wanted to know the quickest way to get there.”
“I thought it was highly unrealistic and unlikely that Vietnam would ever become like Silicon Valley but I agreed to teach the seminar because I had some other ideas about a community that I could teach them about that I thought would be more relevant for them.”
“Cleveland's population fell from 5th to 47th largest in the US by 2012. Our young people were leaving the city in droves looking for opportunities and support for their companies in places outside of Cleveland.”
“In 2001 Entrepreneur magazine did a ranking of the 61 cities in the US in terms of supportive entrepreneurship and it ranked Cleveland dead last. Cleveland had hit rock bottom about 10 years ago.”
“We didn't have access to the type of private capital that exists in Silicon Valley so instead we had to look to other sources of support namely government and donors working alongside the private sector and things have gotten better for entrepreneurs in Cleveland over the past 10 years.”
“When we launched our free Beyond Silicon Valley MOOC last April we now have had 58,000 students from 190 countries take the class. We've had translations in 14 different languages which makes it the top translated course on Coursera.”
In this episode, I sit down with VP of Human Resources for Kirby-Smith Machinery as we discuss the challenges they face in recruiting hourly workers and some of the strategies they have put in place to attract, identify, and hire talent.
