TroopHR

After leaving my last full-time role, I channeled that extra time into investing more into specific communities I cared about. I've recently joined a new community, TroopHR, in the People/HR space (thanks Tracy Avin and the encouragement from Trey Boynton to join this vibrant group)! So far, it's been a fantastic space for virtual connection and learning, and I'm excited to join w Joy Young, MBA to bring together HR leaders IRL on Wed, December 11 in Penn Quarter to connect around all things People! ✍ Register here if interested in joining us (you do not have to be a member of Troop HR to attend, but great opportunity for those who are Troop HR-curious!)--> https://lu.ma/ev7fn06l

I continue to be amazed by the "teams of one" HR leaders in the TroopHR community. They're expected to cover ALL aspects of HR - from recruiting and onboarding to compensation, benefits, employee relations, culture building, and so much more. These incredible professionals are often the sole People/HR person at fast-growing Series A-B funded companies with up to a few hundred employees. Could you imagine hiring a single marketer and expecting them to execute all paid strategies, build the brand, manage PR, run events, create content, and strategize organic SEO? The breadth is staggering. And yet, these HR leaders rise to the challenge day after day. They wear countless hats, juggle competing priorities, and somehow manage to create thriving workplace cultures. What inspires me most is how they rally around each other in our community - sharing advice, resources, and moral support. It's a testament to their resilience and commitment to the HR profession (and each other). To all the solo HR practitioners out there - we see you, we appreciate you, and we're in awe of how much ground you cover. You are the unsung heroes powering the growth of tomorrow's breakout companies! #teamsof1 #communitycounts #peopleleaders #HRpros #jointhetroop Alicia Henríquez (she/her/ella) Joy Young, MBA Anne Nicholson Juceam Stephania Alexander Gonzalez Margaret Dwyer Simran Bhatia Natalie Shaheen, SHRM-CP Anthea Rafique Victoria Sprenger Aviva Werde, SHRM- SCP Brittany Burton Penina Eichler Claudia Ponce, MBA, PHR Sarah Elkin Miles Randle Sarah Flaherty Liz Chepul Stacey Nordwall (she/her) Danielle Tucker Kat Campbell Morgan Curtis Matt Needleman Leah Ward Nicole Cliff, SHRM-CP Alex Osborn Manpreet Brar Carrie Carroll John Germinario Danielle Tucker Nadia Eran Cindy N Gordon

I had an amazing conversation today getting to know fellow TroopHR member, Tami Parris! One of the best parts of the conversation was when Tami asked me what gives me strength to do my best work and keep at it. I am so grateful for the question because I hadn't reflected on this deliberately in so long and it filled me with a lot of joy to say it out loud. For me- my strength comes from my support system - my husband, my friends, my family, my connections in the work I do. And it also comes from a deep sense of purpose; knowing the work I do matters and can make a difference. Thank you so much for an amazing conversation and an amazing question Tami! And I invite you all to think about what it is that gives you strength (at work and beyond). Its a beautiful reflection. If you'd like to share- I'd love to hear it, but it also counts to do this exercise just for you! #Reflection #SelfCare #Strength #TraumaInformed #TraumaInformedWorkplaces #HRCommunity

I’m happy to share that I finally joined the impressive group that is TroopHR! Looking forward to expanding my network, deepening my People skills, and telling that imposter syndrome to kick rocks 😉

Is it just me, or is anyone else feeling a little (or really) anxious lately? 🙋🏽♂️ Even with my usual self-care practices, the U.S. presidential election has really tested Mr. Peanut (my anxiety). Fortunately, I’ve taken some time to slow down and focus on my mental health, and I’m feeling better this week. If you’re struggling to manage your stress right now, or want to connect with a supportive community, please join me this Thursday, November 21, at 1 PM PT (4 PM ET) for a free virtual program to help you decompress. Here’s what you can expect: ✅ Learn 3 quick ways to reduce stress during uncertain times. ✅ Participate in interactive activities to build resilience (fellow introverts: don’t worry, participation is optional!). ✅ Connect with a supportive community to navigate these difficulties together. Spots are limited, and this interactive experience will NOT be recorded, so be sure to register now: https://lnkd.in/gNt3rHax P.S. Please help spread the word and share this event! We could all use support and community during these stressful times. 💙
