95% of the people who responded to my recent poll on LinkedIn reported difficulty in filling all or some roles. Many report that the talent shortage is dire, especially in specialist roles.
I'm a firm believer that you can hire top talent in any market - if you're willing to use different strategies and think outside the square.
In this virtual masterclass, I'll be introducing you to both simple but rarely used strategies as well as some very leading edge and innovative ones.

We help future-focused organizations build and retain the workforce they need to thrive in the Decade of Disruption - what many are calling the period from now to 2030.
COVID-19 will hopefully be the most significant disruption of this decade, but the futurists, demographers and economists will tell you it certainly won’t be the last.
To not only survive - but to thrive - organizations need 6 things:
A compelling, customer/community-oriented purpose with a strong set of values that are used in hiring, accountability and decision making.
Collaborative leadership capable of making smart decisions with incomplete information and being able to pivot quickly and effectively when those decisions are proven to be incorrect (and some will).
Open, honest, transparent communication built on a foundation of mutual trust and respect.
A simple framework used to set and hold people accountable for great performance.
Managers who prioritize their team over their ‘day job’. Who form deep relationships with staff, studying and meeting their needs (or managing their expectations when they do not).
The willingness to reimagine old school practices and processes that simply no longer work.
We help you accomplish the above through:
• Our Future/Now of Work Gap Analysis
• Strategic planning and facilitation with C Suites or Boards of Directors
• Our 3 signature programs:
