37: Introverted and Ambitious: Yes, You Can Still Be an HR Executive

Today, I want to talk to a very specific group of HR professionals. If you’re someone who:Gets physically tired just thinking about small talk,Feels like “connecting with people” is draining, not energizing,Loves the work of HR but dreads the interpersonal expectations of leadership… Then today’s episode is for you. Because I have heard it before:·       You want to lead. ·       You want to be in the room where decisions are made. ·       But you don’t want to be someone you’re not. ·       You’re an introvert. ·       You don’t want to talk to people all day. And my response? You don’t have to become a different person to become an executive. You just have to understand what leadership can look like for you. Let’s talk about how you can be introverted, people-avoidant, low-energy socially - and still be a powerful, effective, respected executive HR leader.Kristen Wade helps HR professionals  who want to reach the executive level,to stop putting out fires and become more strategic with their time.
