#702: How to Be a Better Business Partner

Many HR professionals were attracted to HR because they felt they were “a people person.” Those skills have value and make a difference,but if you want people to really value your ideas and insights, trust your judgment and leadership and leverage your talents, you need to show you can think like a business professional – one who happens to have expertise in HR. After participating in this workshop, you will know how to:
- Seize opportunities, evaluate costs against a value proposition, prevent problems early on (and quickly solve ones that do arise) and present the business case for changes you want to make in your organization.
- Transform your thinking and the business around you by learning this decision-making process and how it relates to successfully presenting your ideas.
