In the fast-paced world of business, it’s easy to lose sight of why we do what we do. Deadlines, competing priorities, and the occasional workplace pettiness can throw us off balance, making it difficult to stay grounded and motivated. But here’s the truth: Leaders who can find their center can also help their teams do the same. As someone who believes in the power of engagement and culture, I’ve learned that leadership isn’t just about strategy or decision-making. It’s about being the calm in the storm, modeling resilience, and staying connected to what drives you: your center. For me, this center is about helping others grow and seeing teams thrive, even when times are tough. It’s about remembering that leadership is the ultimate “pay it forward” gig. So, how do you find your center when the going gets tough? And how do you help your team find theirs? Thoughts? Esteemed colleagues?? #gratefulhrcat

🗣️ Leaders: Who’s your “outside voice”? Is it a coach, a close confidant, a favorite book, or maybe the LinkedIn voices you follow? Having an external perspective can be the difference between standing still and making transformative progress. Those outside voices serve as mirrors, sounding boards, and catalysts, helping us see things we can’t see ourselves. But here’s the thing: for any outside perspective to truly make a difference, it needs a foundation of self-awareness and reflection. Without those, even the best advice can fall on deaf ears or lead us down paths that aren’t truly aligned with our goals. Growth isn’t just about seeking guidance—it’s about integrating it thoughtfully and understanding how it aligns with your unique journey. Self-awareness is the tool that bridges external insights with internal evolution. So, leaders, I’d love to know: ➡️ Who or what is your go-to “outside voice”? ➡️ And how do you use it to elevate your self-reflection? #Leadership #SelfAwareness #GrowthMindset #Coaching #OutsidePerspective

In my career, I’ve learned that a culture of care isn’t about grand gestures or endless resources, it’s about the daily choices leaders make to ensure their teams feel valued and connected. I’ve seen firsthand how the smallest actions, like checking in after a tough meeting or genuinely listening to a team member’s concerns, can have a profound impact. When people feel cared for, they begin to belong. And when they belong, their engagement soars. This is why I’m so passionate about fostering environments where people know they matter, not just for what they do, but for who they are. It reminds me of my own experiences: as a mentor, as an engagement champion, as a safe place to explore ideas and gain advice. Care is about showing up consistently, offering trust, and letting others know they’re seen. Belonging isn’t a program or a metric; it’s the foundation of engagement and trust. When teams operate in this way, they create cultures where pettiness, silos, and mistrust simply don’t survive. Instead, collaboration, empathy, and purpose thrive. What are some ways you foster belonging in your teams? I’d love to hear how care has shaped you.

Is Hybrid Work the Best of Both Worlds? Insights from a Study on Hybrid Work! Excited about the evolution of work? Dive into a study exploring the impact of hybrid work on productivity and innovation. Partnering with an organization in Bangladesh, this study revealed new insights: 👉 Increased Communication: Intermediate hybrid work models led to more emails sent and a broader reach among email recipients. 👉 Enhanced Innovation: Employees in hybrid setups generated more novel work products, showcasing the power of flexibility. 👉 Balanced Work-life Dynamics: Hybrid work offers the best of both worlds—improved work-life balance without sacrificing social connections. The study also suggests that the ideal number of days in the office is 2 days per week, striking the right balance. While this study sheds light on the benefits of hybrid work, it’s essential to note that the reliance on email volume as a productivity metric may be a study limitation.
