” The Talkpoint sessions have allowed me to challenge my own thinking in a safe environment that has at times provided impetus to return to the organisation and challenge the leadership team in different ways. The network developed has also opened doors to help with opportunities across the broader community that Canon, as a relatively small organisation, couldn’t offer internally e.g. through the network I was able to find a specialist mentor for someone in my team who is the only person of her discipline in the company. A peer on my Talkpoint group took the request away and found a match within their organisation.”
IAN FLEMINGTON, Chief People & Change Officer, craveable brands
” Developing strong and lasting relationships through a network of peers, I have found Talkpoint to be the most effective way for me to grow personally and professionally. The Talkpoint community moves beyond any other networking forum. It has always been a secure space to openly discuss challenges, learn new material and be updated on legislative changes, but it’s also a supportive space to leverage off the knowledge and experience of my immediate group or extended alumni to solve problems, seek alternate opinions or gain recommendations. After several years in the Talkpoint community, for all the funds I can invest in conferences and courses, I believe I still receive more value from my membership and would highly recommend joining to any Senior HR professional.”
ANGELA HOWARD, VP People & Performance AsiaPac, Carnival Australia & Japan
” I find the discussions inspiring in terms of the information that members share about how they approach key HR activities, and the influencing of their leadership teams. It is an excellent opportunity to share challenges and receive diverse feedback that can be applied in my own organisation. The discussions are insightful given the calibre of members, and I leave the meetings re-energised.”
