"Barry Jansen came highly recommended by a peer who felt he would be the perfect fit having had work experience in the sector, very strong facilitation skills, and practical HR experience."
In 2009-10, United Way Winnipeg had a dream to create a Human Resources (HR) Community of Practice (CoP) for leaders and managers working in its Agency Partners to grow their HR knowledge and strengths. Barry Jansen came highly recommended by a peer who felt he would be the perfect fit having had work experience in the sector, very strong facilitation skills, and practical HR experience. Barry has developed, delivered, and annually refreshed the curriculum to meet participant needs since 2012. A recent impact assessment affirmed that Barry’s interactive approach, narrative style and ability to address current issues as well as adapt content is one of the most significant strengths of the HR CoP which has demonstrated strong social returns on investment as well as enhanced leadership competencies of participants. He’s simply one of the best!
