In today’s webinar episode, we’re going to hear about leadership and development. It’s critical in human resources and business, but even more so in your personal life. Jacob begins the topic by revealing how many thoughts we have in a single day and explains how these are linked to our behavior. You can’t perform the same old actions each day and expect your life to change; you have to become aware of your unconscious thoughts that are hardwiring your brain to be the exact same every day. Then, you must change them.

Human resource professionals are the backbone of any company, but only if they show and prove their value. To do this, we must be a coach to our employees, managers, and leaders. Jacob speaks to the importance of building a foundation in order to become a coach and talks about some mistakes that are often made in employer branding. The way to properly set up leadership and development is through your senior leadership team, and Jacob gives his recommendation on how to best utilize them. He discusses how you can build a coaching team by selecting the future leaders of your company.

If you have a leader, manager, or department that is dysfunctional, you probably know that they need help but might not want to approach them about it. Jacob tells us a way to overcome this obstacle and get these dysfunctional people the help they need. Ending this webinar episode, Jacob answers questions posed by other HR professionals about creating relationships and the coaching that he provides.
