She possess expertise in human resources, leadership development, leadership, employee relations, management and 24 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "In my fifteen years as an employment lawyer representing management, I've worked with literally hundreds of human-resources professionals. I've found that they generally fall into two categories: (1) the "personnel person," who handles the administrivia of employee policies and I-9 forms, and is generally a pleasant person who leaves at five every day; and (2) the "talent officer," a critical member of the management team who understands what the company needs, and makes it his or her mission to find, manage, and maintain the talent that is the lifeblood of any business. Those in category 1 are far more common, and are completely interchangeable. Those in category 2 are invaluable, and very hard to find and keep. Without question, Nanette Smith Callihan is a fantastic example of a category 2. She gets it, which is the accolade of accolades in my book. She's the HR equivalent of a top Major League ballplayer about whom scouts say, "He's a real baseball man." Any organization, whether for profit or nonprofit, would be lucky to get such a talent leader as Nanette. In the two-plus years she worked with me and my firm, we saw over and over just how valuable she was. She would stand up for what she believed in, argue (professionally, of course) when she disagreed, and always put as her top concern what was best for the organization. I cannot recommend her more strongly. Please feel free to call me at 617.439.4200 or email me at jay@shepherdlawgroup.com if you'd like to discuss this HR prize." and "I am very pleased to recommend Nanette Smith Callihan.
