KEY TAKEAWAYS

Certainly, HR professionals and people leaders have the most incredible opportunities to make impactful change. They are often involved in every department, and on a personal basis with every member of the workforce.
A main goal should always be to help others to understand the meaning of thinking strategically. Indeed, to think strategically is to always prioritise the needs of the business first.
HR leaders will assess and evaluate the prospects of business in every key area, then collect that data and interpret it for a leadership team, along with recommendations for action.
For anyone in a leadership or coaching position, there is always a huge component owed to personal experience, thus shaping and defining the leaders we have become.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I believe that HR and people leaders have the best position in the organisation to make that impact’

‘I have to be aware of what’s going on around me. I have to look into the future’
’Not only am I able to share my experience. I’m able to learn from others'
