35: You Don’t Have to Fit the Mold to Lead Like an HR Executive

Today I want to talk to you about something that comes up more often than you’d expect - even among smart, capable HR professionals. I was having a conversation the other day with a talented HR leader. She’s experienced, driven, and respected. But she said something that really stuck with me. She asked: "Can I really be successful if I show up as me? Or do I have to fit into some executive mold that doesn’t quite feel like mine?" Maybe you’ve asked yourself a version of that question too. 👉 “Do I have to be louder?” 👉 “More aggressive?” 👉 “More ‘corporate’?” 👉 “Less emotional?” 👉 “More like… them?” The short answer? No.  You don’t have to become someone else to be successful. But - you do have to learn how to think like an executive. That’s what today’s episode is all about.👉 Save your spot for the free 3-part HR leadership series here → https://lnkd.in/epERAEZCKristen Wade helps HR professionals  who want to reach the executive level,to stop putting out fires and become more strategic with their time.
