Blackman Mansfield Breakfast “Building a successful HR career”

bmadmin • April 24, 2018

Last week, Joanne and I had the pleasure of hosting a breakfast on the topic of “Building a successful HR career”. Our speakers were two very accomplished HR professionals; Emily Mortimer, HR Manager – Piper Alderman and Kate Berry, Chief People Officer – Discovery Parks Group.

Both Emily and Kate shared their personal stories of how they built their careers in HR, as well as their tips for continued personal and professional development. Those in the room were treated to some fascinating insights in to the diverse nature of the work HR does, as well as some really inspirational personal stories. There was certainly a collective feeling of motivation and inspiration as everyone left to get on with their day!

Attendees represented a range of organisations including; Leed Engineering, SYC, Rivergum, 1414 degrees, ICHM, Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Indigenous Land Corporation, Datacom, Relationships Australia, Junction Australia, Northline, Mayne Pharma and many more!

With another great event done and dusted, Jo and I are already in talks about our next one!
