SUMMARY:Psychometrics & personality tools - one size fits all or horses for courses? Facilitated discussion - HRi and Lucinda Carney
DESCRIPTION:Many of us favour certain tools but don’t truly understand the alternatives or how good they are. Often we use a tool because it is familiar or cheap to purchase but the reality is that there may be better tools for that purpose. We are delighted to offer a small group discussion on this topic\, facilitated by Chartered Psychologist Lucinda Carney where we will objectively explore different types of psychometrics along with their best fit.  \nPlaces are limited therefore we will prioritise involvement from members who are already qualified in a specific instrument and would like to share and expand their knowledge. Participants who want to present on their preferred instrument will be invited to prepare a couple of slides to a standard brief that they can share during the session in 3-5 mins. The plan is to then assimilate the results into a summary webinar that will be made available to all members. Any member who takes part and offers this particular psychometric to others will have the opportunity to share their contact details for others who want to access their skills. If you would like to get involved\, please register your interest with Joe who will send you a ppt template that you can use to base your presentation on.  \nPlease email Joe – joestokes@hrindependents.co.uk\, as soon as possible if you want to be included. Places limited so first come first served. We will need your slides by Friday 5th March 2021.  \nAbout Lucinda Carney \nLucinda is a Chartered Psychologist with 20 years Corporate HR experience.

Nobody else knew of her plan. Working as several different people and with a frenetic double life\, Preethi gained substantial press coverage. After two years and an amazing journey\, she signed a three-book deal with HarperCollins.  \nPreethi went on to set up Kiss the Frog\, a company that takes storytelling to organisations and is a professor at various business schools\, promoting creativity as a key skill for leadership. \n\nWhat you will get from the session: \n\nStorytelling\, creativity and resilience \nPreethi will share her remarkable story and you will understand: \n– How the stories we tell ourselves shape who we become \n– How rejection is often redirection \nPreethi will also share a creative writing exercise to build creativity\, resilience and wellbeing. \n\nTestimonials\n\n“When Preethi is hired to share her unique insight into story creation she does so by opening a window into her own amazing life. Within an event that boasted other speakers such as Sir Bob Geldof\, she was the one most were impressed by and wanted to follow up with. If your brand or business has a story that customers should value go talk to her” \nHead of Customer Excellence\, What If! – The Innovation Company \n“In the search for things to inspire or ignite the creative process\, you’ll be pretty hard pressed to find a more compelling and inspiring adventure and storyteller than Preethi Nair. Hire her!” \nHead of ITV Imagine  \n“An amazing speaker.” \nDeutsche Bank
