Have you ever come across co-workers who don’t listen ?? How about someone who feels they’re “right” no matter if they are or aren’t ?? What happens when these characteristics are exhibited by someone who leads other people ??

In today’s workplace, we need people who are teachable, approachable, and coachable. Too often, we skirt around these attributes, hoping people will just catch on and “get it.” (They never will by the way . . .) Can we establish an environment and a reasonable expectation that we need people to follow the “able’s” ?? I think we can. Let’s get together for the February HR Roundtable and talk about it.

The topic for the February Roundtable is – “Creating the ‘Able’s’ – Teachable, Approachable and Coachable.”

We’ll meet at our regular haunt at Scarlet Oaks on Tuesday, 2/3/26 from 8:30am to 9:30am at Scarlet Oaks. (directions are below.) We will meet in the Annex (right next to the cafeteria).

So, let’s see if I can use some of the skills we’re going to discuss right now. I would truly appreciate it if you’d respond and let me know if you plan to attend the February HR Roundtable. Please send me an email to - sbrowne@larosas.com to make that happen. I hope to see everyone join us !!

Thanks – Steve

Instructions for the HR Roundtable at Scarlet Oaks:

• The HR Roundtable is open to one and all !!  The meeting has an HR/Business focus each month, and we get together to discuss that topic as well as network.  So, if you’re in HR, are a small business owner, are a resource partner who works with HR folks, a professional in transition, etc. – you are welcome to attend the Roundtable !!

• The “dress” for the Roundtable is business casual. We’re not very formal, and you’ll be fine however you dress. It’s more important to have you come and attend the forum.

• Please come in and sign in for the Roundtable.  Note that if you go to any other Great Oaks door, you’ll be asked to have a picture ID, and you will receive a Visitor's badge as part of their security system.

• Chances are, I’ll be outside to greet you and welcome you to the Roundtable so you can find the right door to come and join the forum.

• If you’re someone in transition, feel free to bring five (5) copies of your resume to put out at our Resume Table. Make sure to staple them if you have multiple pages.
