  • #25 You have to get them to convert
  • #42 Thank you for doing what you do.In a lot of organizations – the HR position doesn’t get the respect it deserves.In my mind, it’s the most important position in the companyTo copy Jim Collin’s (you get the right people on the bus in the right seats) There is nothing more toxic to an organization then people who don’t have the values, skills, and ethics, that align with your company. So, before we get started, I wanted to thank you.
  • #44 For those of you who would like a copy of my presentation, I would be more than happy to send it to you, you can either email me or leave a business card.
