  • Tom shares two inspiring frameworks he’s developed to guide HR professionals in their leadership journey. The Intentional Leader Model encourages HR leaders to adopt deliberate and thoughtful leadership practices, and the CHRO Impact Framework helps HR professionals enhance their effectiveness. These models highlight the importance of intentionality, purposeful leadership and self-reflection to drive performance and personal growth.

    Tom shares insights on how you can:

    Prioritise Purpose and Self-Awareness: Tom highlights the importance of aligning tasks with your purpose, be mindful of how you spend time, ensure your efforts contribute to your long-term goals, helping to prevent burnout and boost productivity. Develop Boundaries: Advocating that strong leaders set clear boundaries, Tom discusses delegating tasks that don't energise you and making self-reflection and personal development priorities for authenticity and resilience in leadership. Leverage HR's Role in Sustainability: Tom discusses how, by engaging with frameworks like the UN Sustainable Development Goals, HR leaders can challenge the status quo and drive positive change on a global scale, promoting fairness, equity, and environmental sustainability.

  • Dom describes significant culture change at Cable & Wireless in the Caribbean, created by actions including micro-behaviour change, changes to performance management and types of leave, that have had impact beyond the organisation.

    Advocating that HR must start with business strategy before leading people strategy, Dom discusses how HR is moving up the value chain, and the opportunities this brings. Sharing the idea of ‘Purpose Bundling’, Dom describes his passions, how they connect with work and relate to the communities and markets he leads in.

    Dom shares his experience of working on culturally sensitive topics, including gender-based violence, and, giving credit to a phrase from The Billie Jean King Foundation, calls on everyone in HR to ‘show up, stand up, speak up’
