CIPD’s Post

Just back from my second trip to Brunei - and this time was even better than the last! 🇧🇳 As the Knowledge Partner of this year's INITIATE Human Capital Summit, our team had the privilege of engaging with over a hundred HR and L&D professionals over the week. Through our conversations I could feel their passion and dedication to uplifting the HR landscape, which was really commendable. 👏 It was great to see lots of familiar faces at the conference as well. Beyond the insightful discussions, I was once again reminded of the warm hospitality and kindness of Bruneians. The trip was not only fruitful in terms of professional growth but also enriched my understanding of culture and leadership. "𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞. 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞." – Simon Sinek The words "empathy" and "being human" were mentioned several times throughout the conference - something we tend to lose sight of as we let systems and processes dictate our ways of working in the new era. Looking forward to applying the lessons learned and continuing to grow alongside this incredible community. Kudos to Yazdi Yahya, Chartered MCIPD and team for pulling off this year's event successfully! 🎉 #Leadership #Empathy #GrowthMindset #Culture
