Program Content & Takeaways

HR professionals have plenty on their plates: recruiting and retention, ensuring compliance, sustaining competitive rewards programs, not to mention maintaining a vibrant and inclusive culture during times of wrenching change. One core value that HR lives by is accountability and a commitment to professional growth and development.

What if breaking away from a toxic environment could unlock your true potential? During this workshop with Sherrie Patterson, the owner of Essential Development and Coaching, she shares her journey from the education sector to establishing a thriving business in leadership and personal development. Sherry debunks the myth that success is all about having the perfect plan. Instead, she champions the power of personal growth and passion as the real game-changers in creating meaningful change.

Sherry walks us through the core questions that HR leaders need to ask to achieve clarity and drive real results. From navigating the uncertainties faced by businesses in the Flathead Valley to enhancing whole-person development, Sherry offers valuable insights that resonate in today's rapidly evolving environment.

This session is packed with practical advice and inspiration for embracing personal and professional growth.
