What we covered
Paul Dickinson from the Lattitude Consultancy explored how we can examine our own approach to HR and ways in which we can re-focus and heighten our impact; how we can ‘choose less to be more’.
- The identity crisis taking place in many HR teams and how our desire to ‘prove our worth’ is sabotaging our credibility and ambitions.
- Why adopting a mindset of ‘bravery’ and ‘courage’ blocks our ability to have great conversations with key decision-makers.
- How your HR expertise can actually block your ability to solve problems and why it’s helpful to know when this is happening.
