How to Lead Your Employees Through Times of Change and Disruption with Female Founder Pauline Greenidge

My guest this week, Pauline Greenidge, knew from a very young age that she wanted to work for herself.  And it's no surprise that as Founder and Principal at UpWard HR, her business is built around some very personal experiences of reinvention, resilience, curiosity and possibilities.  Pauline can trace her journey of connection and resilience back to when her family relocated from the bustling city of Calgary, to the small town of Claresholm in her teen years.  As the only family of color, she began to understand how important connection, creating relationship, and the value of belonging truly is.Pauline's had a wonderful career in human resources, but being a part of the Suncor/Petro Canada merger was definitely a pivotal moment in her experience.  From that incredible experience came her book; 'A Grand Dinner Party: Setting the Table for Employee Engagement Through Mergers and Acquisitions' where she explores the employee perspective through these challenging and disruptive events. Now, in her HR consulting practice, Pauline encourages all of her clients to create engaging cultures, and inclusive workplaces, that support and engage their teams through times of change.It's Pauline‘s philosophy of approaching every opportunity from a 'mindset of invitation' (a phrase I just love!) and staying open to all possibilities that has clearly lead to her success.  You can connect with Pauline by email, Twitter, on her website, and through LinkedIn, where she's always providing great content for leaders and teams.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/femalefounderfridays/messageSupport the showThe People Side of Business is the podcast for female founders and business owners who are leading teams and growing businesses.Hosted by Lindsay White, Leadership Coach, Team Leadership Strategist, and Fractional HR Expert, this show delivers practical leadership strategies, real-world people solutions, and honest conversations about the challenges of leading a team.From employee performance issues and difficult conversations to hiring, accountability, workplace culture, and team growth, each episode is designed to help you lead, manage, and scale your team as a founder.If you're ready to become a more confident leader, make better people decisions, and build a stronger, higher-performing team, you're in the right place.Learn more at highvoltageleadership.ca, connect on Instagram @highvoltleadership, or find Lindsay White on LinkedIn.The people side of business isn't separate from growth.
