I heard a song on the radio today...

My drive to work is a pleasant enough 35 minute drive through the Dorset countryside. I rather enjoy it - it gives me time to shift into/out of work mode, and there are always deer, buzzards, egret and the like to make it all the more interesting.

Today though, was a little different.  Today I had the radio on and they played a Michael Jackson song. In particular they played 'Man in the Mirror'.

I've heard the song plenty of times - yes, I still have the CD that I bought a fair few years ago (more years than I care to think of!).  Today though, I listened to the song. Really listened..

The line that kept popping up and making me take notice goes like this:

"If you wanna make the World a better place, just take a look at yourself - and make that change."

Not just that line, there are plenty of lines throughout the song that talk about Change, and how it starts with me/you/one person. All rather deep stuff perhaps, but it struck a chord (no pun intended!) with me.

I'm on the Level 5 HRM programme, and two modules in.. It is evident already, that there will be changes that will be coming to my HRM function as a result.  Guess who will be making the first change? That's right. Me!

If you haven't heard the song before - or maybe haven't listened to it. here it is. Check out those Lyrics!

  • Wouldn't you just know it - I have a whole play list got the Supporting Change workshop including

    A Change Would do you good - Sheryl Crow
    Everybody's Changing - Keane
    Love Changes Everything - artist forgotten at this moment in time!
    Changes - David Bowie

    Still looking to incorporate a Girls Aloud track in there somewhere...
  • I do love a bit of Michael Jackson and 'Man in the Mirror' has always been one of my faves. Sometimes you hear things so often or over a period of time that you do stop listening and when you do listen again you hear the messages and they evoke genuine feelings and get you thinking.....

    I bet there are a few good songs around change or that can be linked to change...anyone think of any?

    On the song theme (and a bit of fun) here was our attempt at HR / L&D songs using the #trainertune hashtag ;)
