Attracting and inspiring employees is one of the most challenging parts of leadership. This workshop shows how you can attract the best people by showing them what your organization is building and asking them what they see. Learn how sharing and asking for stories helps to reveal the person behind the resume; and how making a few simple interview changes can help you attract the best people into your company, your work culture and your life.

Learning objectives:

<  Identify and avoid hiring the high-performance interviewer (all sizzle, no steak) by asking the right questions at the right time

<  Set interviewees at ease so they can relax and show who they are (and how they’re really going to behave 30 days from now)

<  Master real-world techniques that “show don’t tell” job seekers and existing staff how they’re expected to perform without wasting time, energy and money

Who should attend:

Session is ideal for managers looking to attract self-motivated, high-energy people. Also appropriate for managers wanting to re-engage long-time staff who’ve developed bad habits and bad attitudes.

Shannon Leahy

When Shannon is not acting as writer-and-trainer-in-residence down at the local funeral home, she’s writing travel-and-profile stories for newspapers and magazines.

She teaches storytelling to HR professionals, school boards looking for staff cooperation and healing after a teachers’ strike, health units wanting to decrease stigma around addiction and mental illness, and entrepreneurs and managers dedicated to building strong, positive workplaces. Shannon’s storytelling studio, Raystorm Communications, opened shortly after her escape from the Toronto publishing world.
