Sought-After: What It Takes to Be Heard, Be Trusted, and Be Recognized for Your Expertise
No one teaches mid-career HR Professionals how to make a difference. We teach tactical skills; we talk about competencies. There is no seminar or course on how to apply what we know, who we are, and how to be heard...until now. Trust is a trait that must be held by any HR professional. Becoming a Trusted Advisor goes beyond the competency into the practice - it is something completely different.
Becoming a Trusted HR Advisor means you get it - you understand the tactical, you understand the business, you understand how to communicate to different stakeholders, AND you understand how to affect change. Join us to learn how to pull that all together so the CEO and CFO come to YOU for guidance and advice!
Learning Objectives:
- Become sought-after for your guidance and input – regardless of your position level in the organization.
- Tools for communicating to be heard by key leaders.
- How to change career ending moves into career defining moments.
- Lead better even with poor leaders above you.
In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
