Anti-fragility – How Adversity Can Be Your Superpower at Work and in Life
There is no doubt the world has gone through a lot of trauma in the past 2 years, but there is no other business function that has been impacted more than HR! As a profession, we have been looked to for answers, guidance, and assurance. We have had to put our own fears and worries aside to make others feel safe and secure, all while we are going through the same fear and uncertainty ourselves. No one has had to step up more than HR and the challenge isn’t over!
In this session learn how to turn the challenges we continue to face into opportunities for innovation, creativity, and growth. Sel will share with you her inspiring journey of adversity and how it has shaped her career and life decisions to lead one of the most successful HR Consulting firms in Australia, and to use her many learnings to now shape the influence of the HR Industry.
You will walk away from this session with a new superpower that will change the way you lead your workplace and your life.
In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
