The Downsizing Default

The U.S. economy saw unemployment go from a historic low of 3.5% to a historic high of 14.7% and down to 6.7% in a matter of months. One of the primary drivers behind the increase was a common decision to downsize in crisis. Downsizing is a logical HR strategy designed for use to navigate challenging times as a last case scenario rather than default go to.

When You Have Nothing Left

It appears our survival brain took over in 2020 with HR holding on convinced that 2021 had to be better. However, the obstacles we are currently navigating require a marathon mentality.

Strategic and visionary discussions seem impossible, because you are just too tired.

In this episode of The HRart Rise Morning Show, we’re chatting about restoration. How do we recover from pushing ourselves too far? How do we return to the practitioner we once were? How do we continue to show up, when we have nothing left?

See you on the LIVE side! 🙂

On the Fence of Change

To change or not to change – that is the question.

Being a catalyst of change is an intentional daily decision. A decision that can only be affirmed and sustained when it’s backed by realistic expectations of ourselves. As the visionaries of change we can easily get lost in the magnitude of work that needs done. We confuse our mission for creating the ultimate resolution while massively diminishing the work needed to begin the movement necessary to initiate change. This is the work we are called to do, it is the nature of this work that keeps us walking the fence. We’re chatting about how to shift our perspective as a powerful change worker on this episode of The HRart Rise Morning Show.

See you on the LIVE side! 🙂

Persistence

To persist is to resist traveling down the path we know well. It is trusting as we steadily step into the unknown bit by bit.

“To die for an idea is the easiest way. To live for an idea day by day, year by year is the hardest.” – Janusz Korczak

We’re chatting about this and so much more, on this episode of The HRart Rise Morning Show.
