I adored this conversation - Anat Hassner is an incredibly impressive Chief People Officer at a large Australian non profit. A PHD in change management, time spent in academia and a hugely successful corporate career which has seen her work shift from working for large organisations to for-purpose businesses, Anat shares so much fantastic wisdom. On topics such as creating a career pathway for herself that was, at the time, undefined, suffering from imposter syndrome, how we can overcome obstacles and take accountability for our own lives and how we can support those around us to shift their mindsets too. We also discussed how instead of creating balance in all aspects of life, you can admit that there will be sacrifices. Anat is thought-provoking and this conversation is packed with her wisdom and I am so excited to for you to listen!Follow Anat Hassner below- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anat-hassner-9604231/- Uniting LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uniting_nsw-act/- Uniting Website: https://www.uniting.org/home--If you'd like to get in touch, email us at whenworkisntwork@lotuspeople.com.au.This podcast is hosted by SEEK's Recruitment Leader of the Year, Sinead Connolly.
