New generations of leaders are emerging, and I'm always amazed at the intelligence and humanity of this next generation of individuals who are joining the labor market. 

In episode 58 of the Get Hired Up! podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dawn Munroe, a human resources leader in the healthcare sector. We discussed trends in hiring new professionals, Gen Z and Millennials and how to best lead this discerning cohort in a multigenerational workplace. 

Additionally, we conducted a live and unscripted demonstration of a difficult conversation that you can adapt to your own workplace.

Dawn Munroe is an experienced HR professional with in-depth knowledge of professional development, and employee relations. Dawn leads the Human Resources, Research Innovation & Discovery portfolio at Nova Scotia Health (Nova Scotia, CANADA). She supports operations and collaborates with the leadership team to ensure the Innovation Hub’s vision of health and health care have the resources it requires for ongoing success. 

I wanted to get Dawn's perspective the intergenerational aspect of recruiting, selecting and leading new hires. So, I asked her ... what are you seeing?

My brother's birthday is today

My brother Donald, would be 55 years old today. Sadly, Donnie died shortly after his 17th birthday in 1985. The years have passed quickly, but I think of him every day. 

Some of Donald's favorite things included Garfield (the Cat cartoon), Lego blocks, dinky cars, heavy metal music, Mom's apple pies, cinnamon rolls, and fishing! 

Donald loved to fish! Here he is boasting a fresh catch at our cottage in Spry Bay, Nova Scotia (CANADA) in the early 1980s. I remember that day--a Saturday in the spring. 

He also loved Wayne Gretzky, the Canadian hockey player, and at one time, he had a massive hockey card collection, including a Gretzky Rookie Card.

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of my little brother. He was super smart, artistic, and had a wicked sense of humor. 

Happy Birthday, Donnie! 

Have an optimized week ahead!
