3 #Hashtags

by Matt Mattson

If you’re one of the approximately 500,000,000 (!) Twitter users in the world, or you watch TV and have noticed the little pound-sign-thingy in the bottom corner of some of your favorite shows, you know what “hashtags” are.  Phired Up is driving a worldwide online conversation about Dynamic Recruitment and Social Excellence through a few hashtags and we thought we’d help you understand a) how you can participate, and b) how they all tie together.

#DynamicRecruitment: Search this hashtag frequently to see tips, links, and ideas focused on the “science” of organizational growth — Dynamic Recruitment.  You’ll see ideas for networking, choosing people to join your group, building relationships with prospective members, and all the elements of organizational recruitment.

Please add to the discussion!  Drop the #DynamicRecruitment hashtag on stories of groups growing, examples of Dynamic Recruitment in action, ideas to add names to your Names List, and more!  We especially like one-line-words-of-wisdom from your perspective.  Join the #DynamicRecruitment conversation.

#SocialExcellence: Search this hashtag often to see tips, links, and ideas about the “art” of organizational growth — Social Excellence.  We’ve written before about how Dynamic Recruitment and Social Excellence tie together (here). This hashtag will reveal to you an ongoing conversation about how handshakes lead to conversations, conversations lead to relationships, relationships lead to collaboration, collaboration leads to organization, and organizations change the world.  Lots of words of wisdom based on the philosophy shared in our book Social Excellence: We Dare You; How Handshakes Can Change The World.

Please add to the discussion by hashtagging #SocialExcellence with everyday examples of #Curiosity, #Generosity, #Authenticity, and #Vulnerability.  Share stories and ideas about ways people can connect on a deeper level, care about each other more, build more meaningful relationships, and collaborate with one another so that we can all find a way to truly matter to the world.

#BeThePerson: Search this hashtag to explore the momentary choices we can all make every day to #BeThePerson who exemplifies #SocialExcellence.  This hashtag was born from this resource (75+ #BeThePerson statements) which was built via Twitter and Facebook.  We’re constantly seeking more statements like this, so please share yours.  These simple, small, momentary choices are what add up to our habits and eventually our lifestyle.  Share your momentary choices and choose #SocialExcellence.

#BeThePerson is also the hashtag for our exciting event happening this summer – BE THE PERSON | 2012.  The event itself is about those momentary choices…

We cordially invite you to join these conversations with us on Twitter.  You can find us at @PhiredUp.  We look forward to your #Hashtags.
