Speaker: Dr. Shanda Gore
Session Overview:
Host of the award-nominated PinLeader Podcast, Dr. Shanda Gore returns to NOHRA by popular demand to help tackle those time old questions, "What can I do to save excellent employees from leaving and attract new workforce members?" Identifying and defining what an "ideal" workforce looks like, leveraging tools for assessing what is and not working in a workplace culture, and taking real action before it is too late is critical. Being a leader and helping leadership address this area can help not only retain excellent employees but attract new ones! During this session, attendees should expect interactive exploring activities, live polling, and tools to assist with current challenges including those facing leadership. Dr. Shanda Gore will lead this powerful workshop and provide a booksigning opportunity at the end for her new book, The PinLeader Path: Identify, Engage, and Develop Effective Human and AI Leadership for Your Organizational Culture. A session you don't want to miss!
