As we look into an uncertain future, where work roles and the overall organisational landscape may undergo significant changes, it’s crucial to rethink how we approach career growth and development. This keynote, ” Leadership in the New Era: Facilitating Employee Career Development in an Evolving World of Work” led by the insightful Antoinette, brings a fresh perspective to this critical topic.
In this compelling session, Antoinette will delve into the importance of future-proofing one’s career amid these shifting times. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how the world of work has evolved, resulting in parallel changes in career development strategies.
Most importantly, Antoinette will provide practical steps for employees to take ownership of their careers in a way that ensures their professional growth while also enhancing personal satisfaction. The focus is on moving beyond traditional models of job changes and career ladders to an approach that values personal experience, skills, and fulfilment.
Explore why career development is the cornerstone of business success in turbulent times, and understand the integral roles various stakeholders in an organisation play in cultivating a culture of lifelong learning and professional development.
This dynamic discussion is aimed at HR professionals seeking to inspire their workforce towards embracing this new paradigm of career growth, making it an unmissable event for those invested in the future of human resources.
In the ever-evolving landscape of human resources, organisations are compelled to leverage every tool in their arsenal to nurture and develop talent. One of the most potent yet often overlooked tools is mentoring. This keynote explores the pivotal role mentoring plays in developing leaders, offering strategic guidance on its implementation.
The session will initially demystify mentoring, illustrating how it differs from coaching and why it is an essential component of HR strategy and leadership development. The focus will then shift to insights into how to establish, structure, and manage an effective mentoring programme. Antoinette will delineate the critical components of successful mentoring relationships, the importance of mentor-mentee matching, and how to overcome common challenges associated with mentoring programmes.
She will then delve into the future of mentoring, exploring its role in a post-pandemic world, where remote work has become increasingly prevalent. Antoinette will provide strategies on maintaining and enhancing the effectiveness of mentoring programmes in hybrid and remote work environments.
This keynote will empower HR professionals to fully embrace mentoring as a strategic tool for talent development. It’s not just about filling roles but about building a robust, flexible talent pipeline that can drive growth and innovation.
Attendees will leave this keynote with an in-depth understanding of the strategic role of mentoring in developing leaders, equipped with practical knowledge and strategies to implement or enhance mentoring programmes in their organisations.
