We all need to dig deep sometimes
We’re all human. We’ve made such positive progress during recent years in recognising the depth and complexity of our human needs. Managing those, however, takes skill and strength.
It’s wonderful that we can now talk about vulnerability, self-doubt and stress without feeling that we’re appearing weak. It takes skill, however, to stand tall when it counts – to push forwards and to push back.
Which situations or relationships do you want to tackle with greater confidence? How do you call up your inner strength when you’re about to go into a meeting that feels daunting?
I know from coaching HR leaders that, whether you’re a CHRO or HRBP, you’ll face challenge, resistance and cynicism. On the other hand, you may have positive relationships and still want to stretch out of your comfort zone and achieve even more.
What impact does that have on you? How do you look after yourself so that you can deliver the results you need?
Marion Hewitt and I came together over a shared commitment to our HR profession and to HR people. Marion had researched the emotional impact of being in HR and how to address that, while our own research had investigated the factors that make it hard to build HR’s impact and how to tackle those.
Our first webinar as a double-act went so well we’ve been asked to repeat it several times. We’ve now developed a second, that goes to a deeper level.
Build your Strength as an HR Business Partner is a free 45-minute webinar which took place on 12th October 2023. Watch the recording here.
