An Elaborative Podcast on Understanding HSPs and the Value they Bring to Organizations.
In this video podcast, Steven Pitucci, a practicing CPA from Toronto, Canada, speaks one-to-one with Kevin Lipiec on the very common human personality trait, “highly sensitive person” (HSP). This trait often gets misunderstood and often frowned upon as a hinderance to an employee’s performance in the organization. However, this is far from the truth.
This podcast provides clarity over what a highly sensitive person is, how they can add a competitive advantage to your organization, and how you can identify and best manage the needs of highly sensitive people in the workplace environment.
The eight topics discussed in this podcast include:
1) What is a “highly sensitive person”?
2) What are the traits of HSPs?
3) How to best accommodate HSPs in the workplace
4) Combatting traditional thoughts on HSPs advancing in the workplace
5) Strengths and weaknesses that HSPs bring to the workplace
6) Careers that HSPs thrive in professionally
7) Practical things HSPs can do to take care of themselves
8) Practical workplace scenario walkthroughs involving HSPs
