@EastSideStaff I think most industries are worsening, not improving. The lack of leadership that truly values their claimed "greatest asset" - their people - is astounding.

Every single email I’ve received for the last year and a half is from a laid off HR pro. Sigh. Someone tell me it’s getting better for them. #HRCommunity

Your Self-Worth shouldn't have a "Terms and Conditions" clause: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

"we don't use headhunter and I'm not job-searching, so I see no reason to connect with you or speak to you." this isn't #networking done best. You could try a: "I believe in community and connection, even if I don't have a need for support at this time."

End of year...a time to reflect as a business owner! March 2026 will bring my 13 yr anniversary and it's only been possible thanks to clients like you. Who have referred business my way, who have chosen my firm, who trust me with something as precious as hiring...

@MitchHorowitz @psychassembly Is there a replay for purchase? I didn't see that option on their landing page.

It is difficult to name a favorite event any more than a favorite book. But if called to, this is the one. It wouldn't have happened last night without @psychassembly (thanks Suzy Baker and Kat Lakey), ZeroSpace, Jacqueline Castel, and all who joined live or livestream. TY. 🖤

Subjugating our happiness to "success" isn't success. Achieving more and enjoying it less might be common, but that doesn't mean it's inevitable.

@jockowillink @Dakota_Meyer I get the intent of that statement--yet, if putting someone else's best interest above our own is because of our values, doing so is actually in our best interest. Indiscriminately putting others' best interests first isn't love.

Learning from @Dakota_Meyer

Your estimate of yourself determines what follows.

Applause confirms success, but it cannot confirm who you are. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Every relationship you'll ever have is limited by the relationship you have with yourself. Fix that one, and everything else transforms.

Success thrives in the ecosystem of happiness, but happiness struggles to survive in a monoculture of success.

Want to fill that opening on your People team before the end of the year? I get it! It's much easier to go into January with a fully staffed team, ready to start the year afresh and eager to achieve the goals for 2026. If you need my help to get it done efficiently, let me know

If coherence is ignored for the success you're achieving, that isn't a win. It's a performance.

@EastSideStaff @Docta_Rob I agree on both accounts--it's the root cause and it's fixable.

@Docta_Rob @AlanAllard ...really comes down to realizing one's own worth and then speaking up about it. Most CEOs are thrilled to have strategic HR Leaders who believe in their own teams. It's layered! But I find the root cause is found in a poor sense of self-worth, and it's fixable!

CHRO: "Our CEO won't approve of us using any external vendors. We don't have the budget for our own team." (never goes to said CEO) CEO to CHRO months later:

Building a career or an empire that many can only dream of is an achievement that should evoke a sense of pride. However, for numerous elite achievers, this sense of accomplishment can stem from motivations that have unintended consequences. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
