    I think that to successfully lead Talent Management, as for any other function or business, you need to get full alignment between Head, Heart and Hands. When I embraced the role of  ITT Motion Technologies Talent Manager, I knew I was missing some competencies, let's say the "Head", and for this reason I worked hard the last six months to learn and get updated about the best practices and processes of Talent Management. And finally, it's with a lot of joy today that I can share I got certified from the Talent Management Institute as Global Talent Management Leader - GTML™! I am so honoured and grateful I can serve our ITTers by having a deeper knowledge about HR and Talent management and, at the same time, experiencing a full match between "who I am", "what I do" and "what I love".
