Feedback is a gift.Think about it. If someone takes the time to share her perceptions of your work, your performance, that means she cares. She cares enough to take her time and energy to help you.

We’re almost there! We’re at right around $3,600 out of our $5,000 Charity Challenge goal for 2010. Over 700 new GovLoopers have joined the fold, enabling us to give $5 for each of them to the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund (FEEA). More details on the Charity Challenge can be found here. So itRead… Read more »
We’ve going through the top just about anything you can think of for GovLoop in 2010. As an ex TV person this next category is a little near and dear to my heart… videos.

Government is still very much in the process of pushing news out via news releases. It’s even pushing the same content out,Read… Read more »
Well, 2010 was another awesome year at GovLoop and I’ve got to admit that GovLoopers are a pretty good-looking bunch of people! Don’t believe me? Well, see for yourself via the photos below. Some of the best photos of the year came during snowmageddon. Of course, things looked quite a bit better a few weeksRead… Read more »
