Talent management is a priority for organisational competitive advantage. The covid-19 pandemic has amplified a global talent war across sectors and industry. Some countries are now facing an acute talent shortage combined with a wave of 'great resignations' from their most talented people.
Consequently, leaders and managers are expected to play a critical role in developing and retaining talent. But what does that mean in practice? What are the best practices for identifying, developing, and retaining talented employees?
From an employee perspective, being identified as 'talent' is a pivotal career event. How do you make the most of this opportunity to define a personalised career path?
In this interactive workshop, we will examine the definition of talent, explore how to identify people's talent(s). We will also discuss the opportunities and pitfalls of the talent status. Finally, we will learn how coaching can be an effective intervention for developing talented employees as future leaders.
There are no formal entry requirements for this course.
Who is it for?
The workshop is particularly relevant for leaders, managers, HR and talent managers, coaches, and employees from junior to senior levels who want to learn how to navigate the talent management maze, and how to make the most of the talent status for career development and organisational success.
What will I get out of it?

The workshops are interactive and experiential. We will create a confidential and safe learning space where all participants can talk openly about their experience of talent management and reflect on leadership and career development.
