Tia Graham - Founder & Chief Happiness Officer, Arrive At Happy
Keynote Session: Be a Happy Leader: 8-Step Methodology to Drive Business Growth & a Happy Culture
Session description:
The world of work and what humans expect from leaders and organizations has changed drastically. A happy and positive leader is vital for team success. This powerful talk inspires leaders to prioritize their own well-being and create thriving teams by understanding positive psychology, neuroscience, and happiness at work research. When team member happiness is placed as a top priority, customers are loyal and the reputation of the company soars. Innovation and creativity expand when team members are happy while working. There are massive personal, organizational, and financial consequences if leaders do not focus well-being for themselves and for their teams.
Meet Tia Graham:
Tia is an international keynote speaker, best-selling author and leadership trainer on positive psychology, positive work cultures, and business growth. She has worked with dozens of global companies such as Hilton Hotels, Hewlett Packard, and The American Heart Association to elevate employee engagement and drive bottom line results.

Her insights have been featured in major media such as CNN, Forbes, and Fast Company to name a few.
Her bestselling book, Be a Happy Leader, teachers her proprietary 8-step methodology on driving productivity and business growth through a culture of happiness.

David Brown, CPHR - Ascent Employment Law
Keynote Session: Legal Strategies for Recruitment and Retention
Session description:
As baby boomers retire and younger generations of employees continue to redefine their relationship with work, it is clear that the labour shortage Canadian employers are facing is not going away any time soon. We are in a generational shift in our labour market that will require creativity and dexterity to attract and retain talent. Bean bag chairs and free lunch bars are not the answer. Neither is the status quo.
In this presentation, local employment lawyer David Brown will share some strategies that have proven successful in identifying new labour pools and retaining highly skilled staff.
Learning Objectives:
• International recruitment strategies
• Using contracts for retention purposes (forgivable loans)
• Facilitating upward mobility of promising employees.
Meet David Brown:
David believes in the power of work.
Work creates important roles for individuals and enterprises. To the individual, work is often a pillar of personal identity that is connected to the opportunities for exploration and growth that employment can provide. For the enterprise, work is a means to solve challenges in our communities. Work sparks innovation, fosters community engagement, and creates synergistic energy. It is an opportunity.
David’s belief in the power of work, and his appreciation that work affects our psychological and emotional health, is reflected in his legal practice. He advises businesses on how they can create workplaces that flourish so they can realize their mission and create empowered, values-focused environments.
Known for his approachable humor, plain language communication style and empowering message, David has been a trusted employment advisor in the British Columbia Interior for many years.

Roberta Sawatzky, MA, CPHR, GPHR - Okanagan College
Keynote Session: Supporting Leaders in a Hybrid Context
Session description:
The workplace of today is very different than 5-10 years ago. Supporting our leaders to work successfully in this new working context requires additional and different skills. In this session I will share the learnings from my recent research that will equip you to confidently support your leaders by knowing what they need to lead effectively in today’s workplace. From junior to senior levels of HR, the importance of understanding the new competencies for the leaders we support, is great.
Learning Objectives:
• The four main actions team members want from their leaders.
• Seven competencies necessary for success as a hybrid leader.
• What the HR implications of the above are on the employee life cycle.
Meet Roberta Sawatzky:
Roberta, a passionately curious business collaborator, international speaker, professor, and consultant, is committed to meaningful, applied research and effective teaching both in remote (on-line) and face to face contexts. Her career has afforded her over 30 years of senior leadership and training roles in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, as well as the world of academia.
Roberta has published, and co-published research on various aspects of remote work, most recently focusing on effective leadership in hybrid teams. Roberta’s research draws on interviews conducted with those leading and working in hybrid contexts, both in North America and Europe. She believes that a collaborative partnership between industry and academia is important if we are to successfully learn, growth, and thrive in an ever changing working context that honours the needs of both employers and employees.
