My guest is Allison Mairena. Allison (she/her) specializes in building and scaling People Operations practices, particularly for rapidly-growing startups and international teams. Currently, she serves as the VP of People for NewGlobe, an international education company providing innovative curriculum and transformative technical services to public schools.

The job market is constantly in flux. Sometimes it’s an employer’s market, sometimes a candidate’s market, sometimes it’s balanced.   One trend that is here to stay is the overall decrease in employee tenure. The 25-year gold watch is no longer a norm, it is an exception.  Today’s guest shares his view that we need to work with the reality of shorter tenures, vs. be frustrated by them. 

My guest is Jamie Bruno. Jamie joined Ontario Tech University in 2017 and is currently Vice President, People and Transformation. Jamie is responsible for the full suite of labour relations and human resources functions, including transformative initiatives such as future-of-work modelling, improved digitization and access to information to enhance employee engagement, and optimizing features of the employee life cycle.

Jamie has spent nearly 20 years in both human resources and labour relations across the broader public sector, serving as Chief Human Resources Officer at North York General Hospital, where he launched the hospital’s first People Strategy, and leading strategic HR business operations at both Treasury Board Secretariat and the Ministry of Government Services in the Ontario Public Service.

Jamie completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, and earned both his MBA and MIR (Master of Industrial Relations) degrees from Queen’s University.

From there Nancy developed and progressed into management and operational roles which led her to return to school as a mature student while continuing her professional career. She obtained a diploma in human resources and HR designations: CHRP and CHRL

A lifelong learner, Nancy's commitment to growth and expertise motivates her to constantly pursue further education. She has earned both a psychology degree and a master's degree in human resources management from York University while working full-time. Nancy’s interesting educational background has propelled her career, advancing her into leadership positions in various industries, including fitness, property management, asset management, print and security.

She is a sought-after international speaker on HR-related topics, having presented at numerous conferences in the United States and Canada on subjects including: employee engagement, HR metrics, execution, change and performance.

-Liza Voticky

Without the right people in the right place at the right time, your organization cannot meet its objectives.   Today’s guest approaches the discipline of Talent Acquisition as a strategic and essential function vs. a necessary evil that should be done as cheaply as possible.

My guest is Liza Voticky. Liza began her career in Toronto, Canada as a Staffing Specialist for a temporary staffing service.  She successfully developed through various roles in staffing, national sales, operations, communications, and senior management.  Liza continued to grow her career through leadership roles in Recruitment Process Outsourcing, supporting teams in the USA and Canada.  After 5 years as an RPO provider, Liza kicked off her corporate leadership work with Coca-Cola Enterprises. At Coca-Cola, she built a recruiting team from the ground up, implementing a total transformation of the hiring processes across Canada.  Promoted to Vice President of TA, North America based in Atlanta, Liza was responsible for multiple re-organizations as the company transformed its North American business model.

After nine successful years with the Coca-Cola Organization, she moved to Miami, FL. where she joined Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines as the Head of Global Talent Acquisition, Shipboard & Shoreside.  During her time with RCCL, Liza was responsible for completely transforming and optimizing the global recruiting process for approximately 25,000 hires annually from 120 different countries. This included leading Talent Marketing, Talent Attraction Operations, and candidate experience.

Today, Liza is the CEO and Founding Partner of MXA Talent Solutions, an organization built to help companies review, assess and strategize for the Future of Hiring.  “I’ve left the corporate space to better live my passion for changing tactical, basic recruiting functions into strategic partners aligned with business growth objectives.”

In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

  • An example of how treating Talent Acquisition as a strategic discipline can truly drive business results
  • How to figure out the maturity level of your Talent Acquisition function
  • Why you should train managers on how to interview

She is compelled by the belief that when we are self-aware, we can extract the lessons from our life experiences and use them to guide ourselves and inspire others. 

Susan holds a bachelor of science in psychology and a Masters of Arts in Organizational Communications both from Bowie State University.  She is also a Certified Life/Executive Coach with expertise in utilizing a holistic coaching method that shows people how to lead more fulfilled lives both in all facets of their lives.

I’d love to hear YOUR thoughts on getting stakeholder buy-in.  Seriously!   How do you do this?  What trips you up sometimes?    Send me an email at lisa@greenappleconsulting.ca, or a message via Linkedin.

-Suzanne Knight

What does transformation mean to you when it comes to organizations?  Do you ever wonder if maybe there are some transformational “secrets” you haven’t uncovered yet?   In today’s episode, my guest and I break down various examples of transformation that I know you’ll find illuminating.

My guest is Suzanne Knight.

In her most recent role as the Vice President of Transformation Services at Walmart Canada, Suzanne’s team delivered top priority initiatives under the company’s $3.5B strategy. Portfolio included: digital/automation/AI, process redesign, operating model change, business agility, change management, technology enablement and adoption, and project/program delivery.

Suzanne is a Certified Facilitator (MindGym) and popular speaker and workshop leader known for her authenticity and stories from the trenches of transformation.In 2023, she was selected for The Peak's Emerging Leaders List, recognizing Canadians under age 40 who are making a notable impact in their field, as well as The DMZ’s Women of the Year recognizing top female leaders in Technology.  Suzanne holds an MBA in Finance and Strategy from the Schulich School of Business and an MA in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from the University of Guelph.

  • How it’s not just PMO’s job to transform an organization
  • The concept of unblocking your team

- Matt Chapelsky

What parts of your Talent or HR career do you value the most in retrospect?  What did these parts give you and how do they help you today?   In today’s episode, my guest explains ways to build a well-rounded perspective, and paints a picture of how he strategically applied that perspective to a recent large acquisition.

When not working he follows his passions which include coaching his kids basketball and soccer teams, playing the piano, learning to cook French food, and wasting time with fantasy football.

Outside the office, Vanessa enjoys off-roading adventures with her family, mentoring at-risk youth with Phoenix-based nonprofit New Pathways for Youth, and hosting “cooking days” with her family and friends.

Over the last quarter, I’ve shared the concept of Karpman’s Dreaded Drama Triangle and Emerald’s T.E.D. The Empowerment Dynamic with several clients, both individuals and large groups.   These clients were falling into the drama roles and staying there too long.  

Knowing this framework provides a powerful and practical mental model that can help you become more self-aware and more able to shift OUT of unhelpful stories and behaviours and INTO empowering antidote roles.

So it occurred to me that, since my clients love it, and so do I, I should share it with YOU here on the podcast.

In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

- Georgina Boulineau

Ten years ago, we weren’t talking much about vulnerability and compassion at work. Today, it’s part and parcel - especially when organizations and the people that make them work are all navigating huge waves of ongoing change such as mergers and acquisitions or technological transformations, and anxiety-provoking world events such as the Covid 19 pandemic, the war in Russia and runaway inflation. In today’s episode, my guest and I get grounded around what really matters.

My guest is Georgina Boulineau.  Georgina is VP People and Culture at YIT, a leading provider of materials handling.  Georgina was born in the suburbs of Paris, France and when people think about Paris they think about the city of light and how romantic it is but if you step outside of Paris and into the suburbs, it can be very dangerous and that's where all vulnerable diverse communities are located. Georgina lived in one of those diverse communities and, looking back, realized that this group of visible minorities had very limited opportunities because of a lot of discrimination around them. The opportunities were very limited in France even back then which is why her parents decided to leave the country. They chose Canada because they were looking for a safer, more welcoming and accepting community for their 3 kids.  Georgina quickly found a genuine interest in people, wanting to find out about their stories and journeys.

]]> “Compassion is not conditional.  It matters the most when you don’t have a natural connection with somebody.”

- Georgina Boulineau

Ten years ago, we weren’t talking much about vulnerability and compassion at work. Today, it’s part and parcel - especially when organizations and the people that make them work are all navigating huge waves of ongoing change such as mergers and acquisitions or technological transformations, and anxiety-provoking world events such as the Covid 19 pandemic, the war in Russia and runaway inflation. In today’s episode, my guest and I get grounded around what really matters.

My guest is Georgina Boulineau.  Georgina is VP People and Culture at YIT, a leading provider of materials handling.  Georgina was born in the suburbs of Paris, France and when people think about Paris they think about the city of light and how romantic it is but if you step outside of Paris and into the suburbs, it can be very dangerous and that's where all vulnerable diverse communities are located. Georgina lived in one of those diverse communities and, looking back, realized that this group of visible minorities had very limited opportunities because of a lot of discrimination around them. The opportunities were very limited in France even back then which is why her parents decided to leave the country. They chose Canada because they were looking for a safer, more welcoming and accepting community for their 3 kids.  Georgina quickly found a genuine interest in people, wanting to find out about their stories and journeys. She started her career in Human Resources as an HR Coordinator and built  a career in People & Culture from there.

 - Clare Kumar

In this time of talent shortages and so-called “quiet quitting,” organizations are working to switch up their approaches to hiring and developing and retaining their people.  That’s why being inclusive in the design and offering of programs that support employees is essential.  When it comes to how YOU lead and how you design organizational programs, how do you ensure you are addressing the needs of neurodivergent groups and of highly-sensitive people?  Perhaps you didn’t realize you could or should be doing so. No worries - you’re in the right place!   

My guest is Clare Kumar. Productivity catalyst and highly sensitive executive coach, Clare Kumar, helps professionals achieve sustainable performance - improving productivity and well-being while avoiding exhaustion and burnout. She draws on a diverse corporate career which took her from Toronto to Tokyo and Montreal, with equal experience as an entrepreneur.

]]> “Flexibility is inclusivity.”

 - Clare Kumar

In this time of talent shortages and so-called “quiet quitting,” organizations are working to switch up their approaches to hiring and developing and retaining their people.  That’s why being inclusive in the design and offering of programs that support employees is essential.  When it comes to how YOU lead and how you design organizational programs, how do you ensure you are addressing the needs of neurodivergent groups and of highly-sensitive people?  Perhaps you didn’t realize you could or should be doing so. No worries - you’re in the right place!   

My guest is Clare Kumar. Productivity catalyst and highly sensitive executive coach, Clare Kumar, helps professionals achieve sustainable performance - improving productivity and well-being while avoiding exhaustion and burnout. She draws on a diverse corporate career which took her from Toronto to Tokyo and Montreal, with equal experience as an entrepreneur. She is a sought-after media contributor to news and lifestyle shows including the Huffington Post, Fast Company, the Globe and Mail, CBC, The Social, and the Marilyn Denis Show. Whether speaking to one person or thousands, Clare loves inspiring massive shifts by inviting you to pay attention to little things that make a big difference. She welcomes all highly sensitive professionals as well as those who want to love and support them to find community in the Happy Space Pod.

Tracey is a full time professor in the financial services faculty within the Business School at Centennial College. She leads speaking engagements and is the Executive Producer and host of the Young Money podcast all focused on increasing financial fitness. Tracey was named the Silver Award winner for The IFSE Institute Award for Financial Literacy Champion through the Wealth Professional Awards 2020 and Bissett Financial Fitness Inc. a Worldwide Finance Awards 2020 winner.

Policies have a tone of voice.  Getting that tone right is key in influencing people to actually follow the policies.    Unfortunately, the tone of written policies in many organizations has not kept up with the shift in how leaders actually speak with their employees in modern times (ie., respectfully). Most of us were brought up to think that rules must be bossy in order to work.   Listen to this episode as we explore some fascinating tips for good policy-writing AND the connection between policy-writing and Talent/HR.

My guest is Lewis Eisen. Lewis is the author of the international bestseller How to Write Rules that People Want to Follow: A Guide to Drafting Respectful Policies and Directives, 3d Edition. His approach to drafting policy has been adopted by groups at organizations across the US, Canada, and Europe. 

Over his lengthy career he has been a practicing lawyer, a technology consultant, and a policy writer in the federal government. He has been providing professional training seminars and workshops for 40 years, and is currently a member of the Faculty of the Professional Education Group based out of Minnesota.

In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

🍏 Illustrative examples of how to rephrase bossy policy language in a way that treats people respectfully

🍏 Why assuming positive intent is an essential underpinning when articulating rules and policies

🍏 The power of “we” in stating behavioual expectations

  • “The Talent world is grey, and there are very few things that are black and white. The black and white things are usually legal and ethical. Living in the grey is about possibilities.”

    •  - Helen Ashton

     
    HR can feel like a very black-and-white place sometimes - especially for the people it serves.  People in Talent and HR usually acknowledge that the work is more complex in its many shades of grey.  Context and circumstances must be considered for each situation encountered, outside of say, certain strict legal or ethical or pension plan parameters.   Listen in on this episode to explore what living in the grey is all about, and what makes it a reasonable approach. 

    My guest is Helen Ashton, who is VP People and Culture at Grand and Toy.   Helen holds a Masters in Industrial Relations and HR and previously oversaw HR at Campbell Soup Company and Colgate-Palmolive.  She started out in the military and owned martial arts schools at one point.  We bonded over the fact that both she and my teen son are Tae Kwon Do Black Belts.  Helen thrives in HR because she truly values the impact that HR can have on people’s lives, both professionally and personally.

    🍏 What learning Helen has brought with her from the military into her HR career

    🍏 How to avoid rollouts that feel like you need to do a big, heavy sales job

  • “The Talent world is grey, and there are very few things that are black and white. The black and white things are usually legal and ethical. Living in the grey is about possibilities.”

    •  - Helen Ashton

     
    HR can feel like a very black-and-white place sometimes - especially for the people it serves.  People in Talent and HR usually acknowledge that the work is more complex in its many shades of grey.  Context and circumstances must be considered for each situation encountered, outside of say, certain strict legal or ethical or pension plan parameters.   Listen in on this episode to explore what living in the grey is all about, and what makes it a reasonable approach. 

    My guest is Helen Ashton, who is VP People and Culture at Grand and Toy.   Helen holds a Masters in Industrial Relations and HR and previously oversaw HR at Campbell Soup Company and Colgate-Palmolive.  She started out in the military and owned martial arts schools at one point.  We bonded over the fact that both she and my teen son are Tae Kwon Do Black Belts.  Helen thrives in HR because she truly values the impact that HR can have on people’s lives, both professionally and personally.

    In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

    🍏 What learning Helen has brought with her from the military into her HR career

    🍏 How to avoid rollouts that feel like you need to do a big, heavy sales job

    🍏 Insights into being flexible and “living in the grey”

    About Helen Ashton:  Helen is responsible for developing and executing the people strategy that aligns with the values and strategic priorities of the organization. She is passionate about creating a culture of belonging, two-way communication, and she is focused on talent development and ESG initiatives. 

    Helen joined the Grand & Toy family in April 2022 and brings 20 years of progressive experience in the Human Resources function. Her experiences spans a number of industries including automotive, MRO and Consumer Packaged Goods industries. Helen’s career also comprises military service, small business ownership and teaching at the college level.

    Helen holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Information Technology and Economics from York University and Master’s degree in Industrial Relations and Human Resources from University of Toronto. She is a Governing Body member of the Toronto chapter of Evanta CHRO community and a proud mentor with Toronto chapter of the Network of Executive Women. 

    Helen’s personal passions outside of the office include humanitarian work, yoga, martial arts and travelling. She lives in Richmond Hill Ontario with her husband Michael and their son Zachary.

    What does creativity mean to you? Creativity is the theme of the month in my mastermind program for Talent Leaders, The Talent Trust -  and so I’ve been thinking a lot about creativity and how this quality is often misunderstood.

    For many of us, we think that if we do not know how to draw or paint, that we somehow lack creativity.  

    What if we accepted that we are all creative in our own way and actually leveraged that creativity more often in the workplace?  

    What might be possible?

     - Melissa Law

     All of us share the experience of being new into a role or organization - at least once!   It can be uncomfortable AND exciting.  And yet it can be easy to forget that mix of emotion when it comes to designing or sustaining onboarding programs and processes for other people.  There are important learnings you can extrapolate when considering how to create or improve support systems for new leaders and employees in your organization.  

    In today’s episode, we discuss my guest’s recent experience of being the new person around town for the first time in awhile, and break down the do’s and don’ts when starting in a new role and company.

    My guest is Melissa Law,  who is the VP of Culture, Talent and Organizational Development at Liberty Utilities and is also a certified coach.  This is Melissa’s third visit to the show!  I keep inviting her because she is incredibly articulate and smart and brings so much wisdom.  Our conversations simply flow!  I invite you to go back to Episode #1 on Creating Buy-in and Episode #18  on Succession Planning for more great content with Melissa.

    In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

    🍏 The role of curiosity mode when new in an organization

    🍏 Great questions to ask when you are onboarding in a new role

    🍏 How to avoid making people in your new organization feel defensive or threatened

    🍏 Mistakes to avoid when you start in a new organization 

    About Melissa Law:  Melissa has 25 years of progressive leadership experience, spanning four industries.  Melissa has had the opportunity to work with several large Canadian organizations including Walmart, and Aecon.  Previously the VP of Talent Management at Revera and the Founder of Sunrise Coaching, she has recently accepted an exciting new role heading up Talent at Liberty Utilities..  Melissa is an Associate Certified Coach and Certified Professional Co-Active Coach. She is also a graduate of Queen’s MIR Program as well as an active alumnus of Trent University where she received her Bachelor of Administrative Studies.

     - Luc Beaudry

    Asking the right questions is an art form.  Sometimes these questions can create discomfort so it’s important to be intentional about how you create psychological safety in your approach to allow for the right questions to surface.  Good question-asking ensures that you are gathering perspectives and getting the whole picture, not only part.  Listen to this episode for some examples of how to do this effectively.

    My guest is Luc Beaudry who is a Leadership Development Consultant at Canadian Blood Services.  Luc is a senior talent practitioner with great depth of experience in leading teams and creating compelling content.  

    In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

    🍏  How the power of questions helped my guest actually change the course of his career

    🍏  The importance of checking for alignment at a meeting where you feel something might be missing 

    🍏  How to meet people where they are so that you get to the right destination

    About Luc Beaudry:  Luc found his path into the talent management space by way of training facilitation. In the 17 years since then, he has managed employee engagement surveys, led the client solutions team for a national training organization, and designed and delivered a range of high-impact development programs for thousands of leaders and individual contributors across a variety of industries. He recently joined Canadian Blood Services as a Leadership Development Consultant.

    Luc favours a consultative and facilitative approach for creating engagement and buy-in. He gets excited when creating moments of awareness and discovery and loves to use collaboration to get at root issues and underlying motivators.

    Talent Acquisition is a critical part of a company’s ability to function effectively.  The idea of screening or interviewing for job and company fit is not new - we can all agree this is an important factor in the whole process. But where does it belong in the process itself?   In this episode, your ideas about where this factor should fit into the process may be challenged - in a good way.  

    My guest is Jan van der Hoop, President of Fit First Technologies.  Jan is passionate about helping businesses find the right people in the most efficient way.  Fit First offers a suite of technology services ranging from applicant screening to reference checking to career matching.

    In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

    🍏 How someone’s “fit” in a role is not a static thing - and the impact of a person’s leader on fit.

    🍏 Why starting your search using resume data may be misguided.

    🍏 The concept of hiring people who are “engageable”.

    About Jan van der Hoop: Jan is president and co-founder of Fit First Technologies, a company that is revolutionizing the process of matching talent with opportunity. His views have been featured in media across the country including the National Post, the Globe and Mail, CTV News and various small business publications.

    Jan began his corporate career in Operations and ‘accidentally’ found himself in a string of senior HR roles at Hilton International Hotels, PepsiCo and Office Depot. He left Corporate after 15 years to build a  leadership development and coaching organization that worked with companies to build their organizational capacity, grow their people and improve their financial results.

    ]]>     “We can help people through this journey…of uncertainty and negativity.”

    - Shelagh Ell

    In programs that teach Adult Education and Workplace Learning, the first module is typically Needs Assessment - for good reason! Needs assessment is a skillset that goes beyond interviews and checklists - it requires a healthy dose of EQ and an ability to speak your customer's language (and not throw them off with yours). Listen to this episode for the story of how my guest has learned over time to build trust with her internal customers and to truly recognize what makes each of them unique.  

    My guest is Shelagh Ell who is the Director of Talent Management at ATCO in Alberta Canada. Shelagh and her team are responsible for creating Talent programs that work across a very diverse set of business lines across many countries covering functions such as electricity and gas, and regulatory, among others. The complexity is high and the opportunity to make a difference is huge.

    In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

    🍏 What “Chain Your Brain In” means

    🍏 How needs assessment is a transferable skill set

    🍏 The connection between customer service and talent management

     

    About Shelagh Ell:  Shelagh Ell is an experienced Talent Management and Learning & Development practitioner. Driven by innovation, she takes pride in creating HR strategies, programs, and initiatives that support corporate culture and make the organization an employer of choice.  Shelagh had an unconventional start to her career as a senior leader in Talent Management, originally training and working as a financial advisor.  

    As Director, Talent Practices, her goals include cultivating a growth mindset, developing future ready leaders, increasing well-being, and promoting a diverse workforce. In addition to her primary functions, Shelagh has been recognized by Canada’s Safest Employers for best wellness and psychological safety program.

    -Tara Lockyer

     

    Employee Engagement is a key indicator of success for most organizations and is a critical component for retention in a hot labour market. And yet, what if you have ultra-high engagement scores that don’t correlate to customer satisfaction and the bottom line? Listen to this episode to explore what else we need to consider when it comes to creating a great place to work.

    My guest is Tara Lockyer who is the Chief People Officer at ATB Financial, a large banking company servicing the Province of Alberta.  In her role, Tara is responsible for all People programs including Compensation, Talent, Leadership Development, Shared Services Operations and HR Business Partnering.  She has deep, global experience in the Talent Management area, and brings great wisdom to our conversation.  

    In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

    🍏 Why you need to look beyond those employee engagement scores

    🍏 Insights about the “next normal” and the hybrid workplace

    🍏 The importance of reflection as a career practice

    About Tara Lockyer

    As the Chief People Officer, Tara oversees ATB’s human resources and team member programs, change management, and internal communications. With a significant tenure in the banking and insurance industries, Tara brings a wealth of leadership experience in human resources and talent development to the People & Culture team at ATB.

    Before ATB, Tara was the Global Head of Leadership & Organizational Effectiveness for Manulife where she developed and oversaw initiatives such as global HR practices, learning, culture, change management and employee experience. Prior to Manulife, she was the Head of Enterprise Business Engagement and Implementation for Global HR at CIBC. Working alongside senior HR leaders and business executives, she helped design and implement integrated global solutions in the areas of risk mitigation, onboarding, and leadership and management development. She also provided specialized support in the creation of change management and development strategies for complex business transformation initiatives in the divisions of investment banking, technology and risk management.

    An adventurer at heart, Tara’s career has taken her from eastern Canada to Asia, and now brings her back to Alberta. Tara is excited about the journey ATB is on and where it’s going. She believes People & Culture will play a big role in that journey. 

    Tara holds a B.A. in business communications from the University of Windsor, a diploma in Adult Education from St. Francis Xavier, and a designation as a Certified Insurance Professional from the Insurance Institute of Canada

    My guest is Cheryl Bardouille, a leader whose passion for developing people, making meaningful connections and creating inclusive spaces has driven her career journey in Talent Management. Cheryl’s professional career started in training and through a series of pivots, opportunities and accomplishments she has evolved into a trusted advisor and respected leader who builds motivated, engaged and inclusive teams, while helping other leaders and organizations to do the same. Cheryl is also a woman of colour, mother, daughter, lifelong athlete, community advocate, trained CTI coach, mentor and devoted friend.  She is currently the leader of Talent and People Processes at Cadillac Fairview.

    In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

    🍏 How leaders who are already inclusive in heart and intent can do better

    🍏 Key tips to help DEI leaders build relationships as trusted advisors 

    🍏 Where Talent Leaders can start  - or continue - with their efforts to embed diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging into their organizations

    Have you ever implemented a wonderful program that you worked incredibly hard on - and then were dismayed later on (after months? years?) when it became apparent that it was no longer making the grade?   It’s easy to let things be as they are, and yet that’s how opportunities get missed. Listen to this episode for some common-sense inspiration on becoming more consistently agile and responsive to changing needs.

    My guest is Krista Clark who is Talent Leader at Liberty Utilities.  Krista is responsible for anything talent - from succession planning to leadership development and has had a busy year rolling out some major talent programs. Previously, she built her deep knowledge of talent management across various industries ranging from tech to aviation to consulting to retail. She enjoys problem solving and figuring out how to support and equip the leaders in her organization.

    In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

    🍏  How to ensure leaders and employees are getting what they need in terms of learning - in a way that suits them and the environment in which they work

    🍏  How to create a “buzz” gradually around the value of the Talent department and get buy-in

    🍏  Why it’s critical to help employees take ownership of their own careers and learning

     

    About Krista Clark:  A creative problem solver when it comes to talent, Krista helps organizations create talent strategies and then identify, develop and promote people while keeping it simple. Having fallen into talent and L&D early in her career, she became passionate about helping leaders develop themselves, their teams and ultimately making their workplaces inclusive and productive where people can bring their best selves every day. Recently started in the utilities space, she is excited to see the possibilities in helping foster talent to help drive the future of Liberty.

    As Covid and the headlines  wear us down even further - it can be easy to retreat inside ourselves - to put a sort of isolation helmet on that muffles the world and people around us. This kind of retreating feels easy at the moment, and yet it’s damaging when sustained. SO much so that the UK government actually created a Minister for Loneliness post in 2018.

    During this episode of Talent Management Truths, I’m discussing confidence as it relates to Talent Management leaders.  

    As I’ve been working to get my podcast launched and out into the world, I’ve been speaking with leaders from all kinds of companies and industries, and I’ve noticed a common reaction amongst many leaders I’ve invited on the show:  “Who, me?”

    Perhaps as a profession, we’re just more humble :)  It got me thinking, though, about why this reaction seemed to be so frequent.

    In today’s episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

    • How important it is to challenge the stories in our heads when we face a change in context
    • Why clarity of purpose is critical for pushing past feelings of not being good enough

    ]]>      “It’s so interesting that when we have taken a hit to our confidence, or we change contexts, we often overlook what we bring to the table.” - Lisa Mitchell

     

    During this episode of Talent Management Truths, I’m discussing confidence as it relates to Talent Management leaders.  

    As I’ve been working to get my podcast launched and out into the world, I’ve been speaking with leaders from all kinds of companies and industries, and I’ve noticed a common reaction amongst many leaders I’ve invited on the show:  “Who, me?”

    Perhaps as a profession, we’re just more humble :)  It got me thinking, though, about why this reaction seemed to be so frequent.

    In today’s episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

    • How important it is to challenge the stories in our heads when we face a change in context
    • Why clarity of purpose is critical for pushing past feelings of not being good enough
    • 3 questions to help you think about how confidence is showing up for you these days
