HR COACHING MOMENTS
Meet Sheri
Human Resources coaching/mentoring is on the rise… Over the past few years, people leaders have been anxious for “in the moment” coaching/feedback as they manage multiple people challenges in the workplace – from pandemic to labour shortages, HR’s presence in the workplace has increased substantially and people leaders are wanting support. The sessions will be live, 45 minutes long, with an interactive component – for questions/comments. The intent is for each session to be concentrated in focus, so you can easily remember and apply the concepts discussed – not too much information, something quick for you to apply at work.
