I finally figured out how to become a trusted strategic HR business partner for many organizations without the stress, chaos and feeling out of balance.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to work harder as a solo HR leader.

You do not have to be ALL THINGS, TO ALL PEOPLE, at ALL TIMES!

And, there is NO REASON to work alone-especially when you can have a HR mentor every step of the way.

When I was a solo HR leader, I felt I had to work harder every day to help the various department heads, employees, and my boss to show them I had a lot more to offer.

I burned the candle at both ends, coming in early to catch up on emails and staying late to get my own work done since my days were spent constantly reacting to whatever the "needs of the day" required.

Then, one day, everything changed.

Long story short-a group of employees didn't get their pay raise because I wasn't invited to the meeting where it was discussed and it wasn't processed🤦🏾‍♀️. The employees weren't happy and I was left (again) to clean up the mess.

Has that ever happened to you?

I realized at that moment, I had ENOUGH.

ENOUGH of not being invtied to meetings, ENOUGH of not knowing what was happening, ENOUGH of being seen as a simple administrator, when I knew I was capable fo more.

I made the decision right then to OWN the HR Department, OWN my career, OWN the way I show up every day and start demonstrating how an ACTIVE HR Department can positively impact the organization.

I began sharing insights and advocating for the HR initiatives in a much more strategic way and began to notice little by little, day after day, my impact and influence growing.
