European Association for People Management EAPM’s Post

One of the highlights of what I do for a living and through volunteering is finding myself surrounded by people from different countries and continents, feeling like a curious, energetic child who wants to learn everything. Thanks to CIPD’s hospitality, and Rebecca Normand GradCG's perfect organisation, we enjoyed an international dinner in Manchester with the CIPD leadership team, World Federation of People Management Associations (WFPMA) delegates, and European Association for People Management EAPM participants. It was great fun and a powerful reminder that we are so similar! We worry about the uncertainties around the world; we try to anticipate change and prepare for it. We are determined to give our best to make things better. Ultimately, we know that we are stronger when we learn from and support one another! This might sound like a romantic notion to you, but believe me, in this new world of uncertainty, we need each other’s wisdom more than ever. If I could offer any humble advice on how to manage change and prepare for the unknown, it would be: “Expand your horizons. One way is to go and find your people. People who know different things than you. People who care about sharing their thoughts with you. People who will challenge you!” #leadership #futureofwork Angela Attah Maria Kolokytha Elli Matsouka David Ducheyne Kai Saard Natalia Peel Sigrún Kjartansdóttir
