Strategic Workforce Planning Review Just completed the Strategic Workforce Planning Certification Class. I felt the class was good overall, and provided a lot of great information. However, I felt the material would have been better spread out over another day or so. I think it was a little rushed, and there was some sections that were more detailed and required more attention than others. I also think we could have used more samples to work with, vs. always using our own organization's information. I think it would have provided a better foundation for our learning and provided clear examples, vs. us having to try and figure a lot of things out, when this is our first time going through the material.

Great Experience The experience was really great. The guest speakers were excellent in their delivery and were experts on the Discussion topics. HCI is keeping current with trending statisitics and relevent topics. Love how you can go back and view the videos and presentations if by chance you were distracted by work during the conference.

Recertification Process is a Joke Don't expect to have an easy time trying to figure out how many credits you have towards recertifcation. They require a certain amount of credits, but there is not an easy way to determine how many you have. You need to count them invidually. Then to make matters worse, their recertification process requires you to upload a copy of your HCI transcript, but that cannot be downloaded. I guess they want you to screenshot it. I am incredibly disappointed, but have to play their games because I need recertification.

Engaging content and facilitation Had an amazing training with Karen this week on succession training. She is exteremely knowledgable and built in some levity and humor that helped to break up the content. She was also very mindful of breaks needed to reflect and reatin the information. She provided a ton of exmaples which allowed the content really come to life. She went the extra mile to use words and phrases that are a major part of pur company which not only made us feel understood but also cared for. I highly recommend Karen for succession training. After leaving this session I feel that I have a very solid understanding of how to apply the content in a meaningful way.

Outstanding facilitator! Meghan was an outstanding facilitator for the Strategic Diversity, Equity and Inclusion certification class. She kept us all engaged in a three-day, virtual course--a hard thing to do. I learned a lot and felt like the course has given me a lot of takeaway and use with my employer.
