I enjoyed joining Jess Yuen and Andrew Bartlow on the People Leader Accelerator Podcast. These two have been pillars in the HR space for years and I’ve looked up to their work for a long time. Getting the chance to chat with them and talk openly about where our field is headed was a real privilege. We spent time exploring how hashtag#AI is shifting the landscape for people teams and how it has shaped my own approach to breaking down functional silos and driving better business outcomes. I shared why I always start by understanding what’s really happening in the business rather than jumping to whatever HR trend is in the spotlight. That mindset has guided me throughout my career. We also talked about moving beyond hashtag#traditional people metrics and focusing on how HR actually enables the business. hashtag#Curiosity and a hashtag#multidisciplinary perspective came up a lot because they truly influence how leaders show up and make impact. The conversation touched on org design and what it means to lead through experimentation and example.
