Here's to strong women: may we know them, may we be them, may we celebrate them and may we raise them. #InternationalWomensDay #InspireInclusion

The 2023 LinkedIn Talent Connect was a truly impactful experience for me. Working in HR for many years now, I’ve seen firsthand how the world of work is constantly shifting and evolving. This conference really drove home just how much things are changing and how important it is for HR professionals to stay ahead of the curve. ‘Work changes today’ It was clear from the first keynote that this wasn’t just a slogan. Speakers from all over the world 🌎 talked about the ways in which technology, globalization and shifting demographics are reshaping the workforce. The importance we as HR leaders play in changing how teams work with a skills first approach which enables businesses to become more agile while also ensuring employees continue to learn, grow and evolve. I was able to glean insights from sessions around Talent Attraction and the ever present importance of hiring and attracting talent for both today and tomorrow. The most intriguing aspect of the conference was how AI will help shape the future of work. From LinkedIn’s CEO Ryan Roslansky discussing how they are redefining work in the age of AI and how that has had a positive and significant impact on their customer support experience to engaging discussions with impressive panelists like Chris Louie Head of Future of Work and Talent Strategy at Thomson Reuters discussing how AI will create opportunities to help employees build relevant and meaningful futures. It was thought provoking and eye opening to hear about the potential benefits, risks and opportunities these changes will bring. Another clear take away was the emphasis on human connection. Despite the buzz around technology, automation and AI it was clear that PEOPLE are and always will be at the heart of the world of work. The importance of building strong relationships with employees, fostering a sense of belonging with a clear purpose and creating workplaces (virtual/hybrid/in person) that are welcoming and inclusive for everyone. Overall a wonderful experience with amazing speakers like the honorable Dame Jacinda Ardern Spike Lee, Sherry Cassano April Rinne Josh Bersin, Jennifer Shappley, Hari Srinivasan and so many more! I left LinkedIn Talent Connect feeling energized, renewed in my purpose and inspired to do more! It’s clear the world of work is changing faster than ever before but I feel confident that with the right mindset and tools, HR leaders can help their organizations navigate through these changes and create a better future for everyone! I also took away some personal parenting advice from keynote Spike Lee to not squelch my children’s dreams! 😊
