The HR Director

1. Seven skills to transform Conflict into Collaboration

   That sinking feeling when conflict pops up in your team? The awkward silences, the whispered side comments… Most managers rush to smooth it over. But what if that tension could be your secret weapon? With the right skills, disagreement becomes collaboration, frustration sparks innovation, and diverse voices drive inclusion. Learn how to harness conflict, build trust, and transform your team into a space where ideas thrive, even when they clash.

2. We Want to Attract the Best Talent… But…

   CEOs love saying they want top talent… but don’t expect to lure them with excuses, dusty brochures, or a LinkedIn post. Step up, show your culture, get visible, and be authentic—only then will the people who actually drive your business line up to work for you.

3. September is a key time to reconnect, reset and reignite performance

   If you are a manager, September is also a moment to reconnect with your team. Not just operationally, but as a human being. Reassessing team energy, recalibrating workloads, and revisiting goals ensures everyone is aligned and re-engaged as we enter the final quarter of the year.

4. Turning experience into impact, not extra weight

   Leaders, bring your instincts, leave the heavy baggage behind. Curiosity, context, and thoughtful application of your experience unlock more impact than just repeating “what’s worked before.”

5. Salary surveys as strategic intelligence
