The HR Agenda is a virtual peer coaching group that work together to share knowledge and experience.  Being an HR leader can often be lonely and knowing where to go to get honest and useful information to support you in a challenge at work can be quite daunting.  So where better than from a group of HR peers who share your passion for people and who understand your situation intimately, as they have probably been in it.

To create psychological safety, the sessions use the principles of the Thinking Environment.  There will be a maximum of 4 people per session and Debra Cadman will be in touch beforehand to go through the session so you know what to expect and can prepare accordingly.

These 120-minute sessions are held quarterly and allow you to catch up with your cohort in short, sharp bursts. You’ll gain a sense of community and shared purpose, having made progress with your challenges. 

What to expect: we’ll meet via Zoom and introduce ourselves. The sessions are designed for each delegate to raise an issue, a challenge that they are wrestling with or a discussion point that is spoken aloud, uninterrupted and without judgement.  Each participant considers and responds with informed and helpful views based upon their personal experience in a similar situation. It can feel quite exposing at first but the rewards extraordinary; listening to the collective, intelligent support from the peer group and learning from shared experiences. The point is never to say ‘you need to do this’ but to listen understand and respond with ‘in my experience…’ It’s really powerful and thought-provoking. Give it a try!
