Looking for a keynote speaker
who puts the human into HR?
Clients often tell me that running a business or being a people leader is like riding an emotional rollercoaster. There are the ups. There are the downs. And occasionally, there are screams. But then there's the excitement of retaining your talent and creating a workplace that thrives.
You know people are the backbone of your business or team, so why do you keep putting off HR stuff? Does HR bore you? Is it too complicated and time-consuming? Does HR make you cringe? Well, I'm going to give you a corkscrew barrel roll that will invert your view of HR (and no more roller coaster terminology).
As a business owner myself (and a pretty cool and energetic one, I might add), I love bringing the fun into all things people and HR. As your HR keynote speaker, there'll be no yawning in the peanut gallery, no eye-rolling, no phone scrolling, no wishing you were back at work - certainly not ‘one of those’ presentations. Nope, at your next event, workshop or on your next podcast episode, I’ll keep your audience engaged and they'll learn a few actionable ideas along the way.
