Top Takeaways Build your talent pipeline from the ground up by working with the people actually doing that type of work. Human beings are hardwired to have biases. Bring them to the surface and be willing to change. Leading with empathy will allow you to build the workforce of tomorrow with the positive diversity and inclusion you seek.  Shownotes: [4:43] So Mimi, did you choose water or did water choose you? Water chose me. I started liking it, which is kind of weird. [5:44] When you presented at UMC we heard a lot about workforce. You came from outside of water so where did you start in developing your talent pipeline? I had to let them know I wasn’t here for your job. I put on a pair of boots and picked up a sledgehammer. I went on a series of ride alongs with the team. [7:15]I know each one of my employee’s names. I stand outside my door and wave and tell them how much I appreciate them. They could choose to be anywhere, but they chose here. We are a family.  [9:10]Our boots are dirty and we can step on your carpet – but that’s why we have vacuums. [9:35]You are working with students to come and join the water sector. Can you tell us a little more? The Water Utility Technician Program helps let students know the value of these type of jobs– its hard to find operators because we forgot about the trades. The water sector is a lucrative industry with good paying jobs. A student can take the class, take the test and get a job. Ask field staff what they would need to succeed in this industry. [12:21]If you build it they will come – not true unless they know you built it! Mimi went out and marketed these programs to students. She brought field staff and vehicles to gain interest and brought the students on tours. No one talks more passionately about a job than the person in that job. Have our field staff communicate with potential students about the value of this career. [15:30]High school students next step is to gain independence. How do we leverage this to make an impact on high school students?  Invite them to place where they can work and talk with people already working in the industry. [18:18]Getting people in the door is an important part but so is nurturing them. How are you handling professional development?  Our employees were missing key interviewing skills which fostered the need for nurturing and professional development for the field staff. I am willing to give my time on the weekends if they are willing to as well. Mimi taught the employees to have more confidence to interview better. This engagement demonstrated care for the employee and that they are valued. The employees learned how to talk about the job and what they knew rather than relying on someone knowing them. Key skills:...

You may not be talking about politics at your speaking engagements, but you may be discussing issues that are controversial or where people have a distinct point of view. Or, you may get a question from an audience member that throws you off. How can you handle hard conversations, whether it’s at events, panels, media interviews, or even with your family and friends? Joining me in this episode are Sarah Stewart (from the left) and Beth Silvers (from the right) of the Pantsuit Politics podcast. Along with their strategies for handling hard conversations, we get into why companies don’t seem to value training on these “soft skills” as much as they should, why they tend to bucket it as a “women’s issue”, and how we can position these topics differently. About My Guests: On the Pantsuit Politics podcast, two friends on opposite sides of the aisle have real conversations about politics and policy. Sarah Stewart Holland (from the left) has always loved politics, although her political opinions have changed drastically over the years. As the creator and cohost of Pantsuit Politics, she has turned that passion into a career. When she's not opining about policy or the latest political firestorm from behind the mic, Sarah is raising her three young song with her husband in her hometown of Paducah, KY, where she served on the Paducah City Commission. Before turning to the mic, Sarah wrote about parenting and politics on her blog bluegrass redhead. Her writing has also been published on the Atlantic, Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, and BlogHer. Beth Silvers (from the right) owns and operates Checking In with Beth Silvers, a life and business coaching practice. Drawing on her eleven years of experience with a large midwestern law firm as an attorney and human resources executive, Beth helps individuals clarify and realize their goals. She has been recognized as one of Ohio’s Most Powerful and Influential Women by the Ohio Diversity Council, a Human Resources GameChanger by Workforce Magazine, and one of Cincinnati’s Forty Under 40 business leaders.
