In today\\u2019s episode, I again chat with Heidi Hauver, the Ottawa, Canada-based Chief People Officer of TrackTik, where she\\u2019s leading a world-class team building the World\\u2019s Largest Security Workforce Management Company.

I\\u2019ve known Heidi for a few years now. We originally met as part of the GROW HR mastermind program presented by HackingHR, where she quickly differentiated herself as an innovative and strategic people leader.\\xa0

Together we covered a lot of ground. Beginning with her experiences as a business executive supporting start-ups, alongside the human resources considerations for venture-backed organizations.\\xa0

We eventually landed on the topic of growth mindset for mid-career professionals - a topic I know well - discussing how education & professional credentials are essential ingredients, along with lived experiences, in developing the next era of business leaders. In today's rapidly changing job market, it is becoming increasingly important for leaders to consider resilience in their career planning. According to the Harvard Business Review, today the average tenure of a leader is five (5!) years. And Deloitte survey found that 85% of executives believe their industry will face significant disruption in the next three years.\\xa0

I always love my chats with Heidi & this one was no different, as she gives us all things to think about. Beyond that, I had a lot of fun, and hope you enjoy our conversation, as much as I did recording it.
