Carrie-Lynn Hotson

Do you dread having those tough conversations with colleagues or staff? Do you find yourself frustrated that a conversation did go as well as you had intended? Struggling to figure out how to alter your approach? Are you avoiding certain interactions? This interactive and reflective workshop is designed to help leaders and HR professionals develop the skills and CONFIDENCE needed to have some of those tough conversations focused on performance, accountability, retention, workplace behaviours, and upcoming business changes. Workshop host Carrie-Lynn Hotson will help participants identify their own strengths and challenges in managing others. Participants will learn the importance of "Knowing Who You Lead" and will be given tools and strategies they can incorporate into their current leadership practices.

Time to dust off your job posts and do a deep dive into who you are trying to hire, and the processes you are utilizing. As an experienced HR Manager, Job Interview Coach, and HR College Professor, I will give participants critical insight into why they are potentially missing out on key candidates, hiring the wrong people, and/or not creating an inclusive and effective onboarding process.

Change Management happens at an individual level. For a group or organization to change, all of the individuals within the group must have the desire, ability, knowledge, and resources to make the change come to life. I utilize my understanding of human psychology, leadership experience, and change management philosophies to help leaders identify and address current challenges and RESISTANCE they are facing from employees, clients, and other stakeholders.
