Random follow #60 - @HassanahRudd

Almost all of my random tweeters so far have been fun, interesting and lovely people.  Today's random person certainly fits that description and more.

What I can tell you is that @HassanahRudd right now is a very busy new mum.  New from the point of view that she has both become a new mum but not for the first time.  Baby number three arrived this week and I have no doubt the Rudd family right now are super proud and super excited about the new addition to their family.

Tweeters you can mark this date in your calendar so you can plan ahead for birthday presents from now on "slow tweet stream from me. No Internet connection at Birthcare. Finally joined by our new baby girl late thurs night. Just got home#happy".

And it's really nice that she is able to find a balance between being a professional woman and a mum as well.  Being a parent has its fair share of ups and downs.  And it is the little things your kids do that can make you either burst out loud laughing or start beaming with pride from the inside out.

"Trying to read board papers whilst Miss 3 "sings" at the top of her lungs. She won't be auditioning for X Factor.. Off key.. Big time!"

In her "normal" (is there such a thing when you are a mum?) she is an advocate for people.  Usually such a job would be titled human resources professional.  But in Hassanah's case her official role is one of talent & sourcing expert and recruitment.  She is also a smart mum in regards to her ability to access technology - "The joy of twitter & smartphones; I can catch up on good blogs whilst waiting for Mr9 at his dentist appt".

There are a few traits that stand out about Hassanah.  For a start she has a beautiful name.  She is a mum.  She is also a very passionate advocate and voice for other mums and children.  It takes a certain type of drive, fire and passion for a person to choose to take up a role as an advocate for others.

@HassanahRudd is also a valuable member and contributor to the #nzlead discussions which take place every week.  If you refer back to this post here you can find out more about how #nzlead works.

One really nice thing I enjoy about her tweeting is that she will engage you in a conversation.  If a conversation needs more than one or two tweets she will happily talk away.  And the conversations add value.  Multiple conversation partners are welcomed and everyone gets either a reply or a friendly tweet.

As all new mums (and babies) need their rest I am going to sign off on this post a little earlier than I usually do.  But I did have a few unanswered quetions in my mind about her and with a little help from my friend google I was able to source the perfect ending to this post.

"Hassanah loves to talk but as her husband says “not everyone speaks Hassanah”, which is accented, fast paced and energetic (probably due to her many years working in the fast paced temp world). People tend to remember Hassanah because of her long red hair and unusual name. What most don’t know is that her parents met in a commune and married in a mosque which is why Hassanah was given an Arabic name."

Congratulations Hassanah and all your family on your new addition.  x.
