SHRM StateCon '25

Speak Up, Stand Out! Mastering the Art of Sorry, Not Sorry

Speaker: Sharon Northern

Health & Wellness

HR has remained largely unchanged for the last 20 years—and that’s a problem. In a field that should lead innovation in workplace culture and leadership, too many HR professionals find themselves stuck in old habits that hinder progress. We often face challenges that keep us from being effective communicators and confident change agents within our organizations.

Does this sound familiar? Do you find yourself apologizing unnecessarily, asking for permission to take action, or using minimizing language that weakens your message? These behaviors can hold us back from stepping into our power and influencing meaningful change.

In this brief session, you’ll be empowered to discover actionable strategies to transform the way you communicate and position yourself as a leader. It’s time to ditch the apologies, eliminate self-doubt, and master the art of standing out. Let’s take that first step together toward reshaping HR and creating the influence you're capable of!
