In this episode, Allison Vaillancourt shares some professional advice she received from a CUPA-HR peer that changed her entire approach to HR and helped her advance her career and secure several leadership positions. Kirk Beyer talks about the power of influential listening and persuading others to rethink their approach to an issue and how that came into play when making the decision to move the CUPA-HR national office from Washington, D.C., to Knoxville in 2003.
