Four Strategies to Meet Business Challenges in the Future and Deliver Maximum Impact on Results

I’m very fortunate that my dream job is also my day job, and through my work as a professional speaker, I have the opportunity to speak at conferences and events around the world to leaders in a variety of organizations.

Typically, I’m speaking about topics related to making an impact through people strategies, effective leadership, and personal branding, and one of my favorite audiences to speak to includes human resources leaders.

As a former HR leader and executive, I’ll always have a special place in my heart for HR and People leaders, and I’ve got tons of stories that I can share from my own personal experiences to connect with them.

While reviewing various audio and video files from past speaking events recently as I prepare for a website update, I came across the audio from my 2016 Mega Session at the SHRM Annual Conference, which was held in Washington DC. SHRM is the largest HR association in the world, with over 350,000 members, and every year, their annual conference draws 20,000 people or more. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking at the conference every year since 2012, and leading MEGA sessions – which can sometimes include over 2,000 people.

I decided to share the full audio from my MEGA session at the conference with my podcast listeners, because even though I’m speaking to a room full of HR leaders and many of the stories are HR-related, the core message is about how to make the most impact at work, and the strategies and advice shared can be applied by any leader who wants to make a difference.

Also, this particular program is my most popular keynote speech, which I’ve been giving in some form since 2014. If you’re interested in what makes an effective keynote that’s received countless positive testimonials, has takeaways for audience members at all levels of an organization, and has earned multiple 6-figures in income for me, pay attention to the structure of this program. You’ll hear numerous stories, learn four key points, and also get some great takeaways that can be applied immediately.

Although I’ve thought about retiring this program for the last couple of years, it continues to be requested – and I love delivering it. It’s updated regularly to keep the data current, and I’ve since made the stories shared in this version sharper to meet the shorter keynote slot times that are becoming more common, but the bones are still good bones.

I hope you enjoy listening to my signature keynote – The Future of HR: 4 Strategies to Meet Business Challenges in the Future and Deliver Maximum Impact on Results!

What Do CEO’s Expect From Strategic HR Leaders?

Recently, Human Resource Executive Online (a great publication worth reading) republished a interesting checklist from Bloomberg Businessweek listing “What CEO’s Expect from CHRO’s”.

I’m kinda in love with this list, so if you’re HR, (even without the lofty title of CHRO), check it out. Ensuring that you’re focusing your time, energy and efforts on these activities is a great way to position yourself within your organization as an HR/Business Leader.

What CEO’s Expect From CHRO’s

  • Collaborating to design and communicate a Vision for the company.
  • Building a pipeline of qualified, energized people to fuel the company?s growth.
  • Selling the company to the “talent population”, in person, via traditional media and online.
  • Reinforcing a culture that emphasizes ingenuity over irrelevant, one-size-fits-all metrics.
  • Teaching all employees, starting with the CEO, to tell the truth at work.
  • Shifting the HR function away from a break/fix model to an embedded function in every business segment.
  • Installing just enough HR process to meet the company’s regulatory compliance needs but not so much that people are stymied or infantilized.
  • Building a culture of collaboration that fuels every important program at the company.
  • Asking team members every day for input on business activities, their own careers, and life in general — not via a sterile, once-a-year employee engagement survey.
