What our community is saying

    I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Senior Talent Management Practitioner (STMP™) from Talent Management Institute!
    I think in this moment I feel both happy and relieved. It has been a wonderful and enriching experience but on the other hand it has been exhausting. Relocating to a new country even within (at that time) the same company, starting a new role and trying to establish yourself in a new place while simultaneously studying… is hard. Hence my deepest respect to all my colleagues and friends who cope with work-life-study balance because the balance is very challenging to achieve. And yet, it does pay off to devote time to your own learning and development making on the way new connections with like-minded professionals.
    My advice to anyone who is considering taking on additional studies - it’s never the right moment to start or not to start because there will always be something coming in-between so just go for it and enjoy the learning experience. 😉

    I think that to successfully lead Talent Management, as for any other function or business, you need to get full alignment between Head, Heart and Hands. When I embraced the role of ITT Motion Technologies Talent Manager, I knew I was missing some competencies, let's say the "Head", and for this reason I worked hard the last six months to learn and get updated about the best practices and processes of Talent Management. And finally, it's with a lot of joy today that I can share I got certified from the Talent Management Institute as Global Talent Management Leader - GTML™! I am so honoured and grateful I can serve our ITTers by having a deeper knowledge about HR and Talent management and, at the same time, experiencing a full match between "who I am", "what I do" and "what I love".

    My journey for the Senior Talent Management Practitioner certification was never easy. Months of preparation was challenging trying to balance meeting deliverables and studying and not to mention the pressure on the week of the certification. But it was all worth it -- now a Certified Senior Talent Management Practitioner.
