Episode notes
Most HR professionals didn't step into HR to spend their days putting out fires - but that's exactly where so many end up. When the reactive cycle takes hold, confidence fades, credibility takes a hit, and the meaningful work keeps getting pushed to "next week." In this episode, Karina Young sits down with Lisa Young, founder of HRHQ, an online HR community and education platform, to talk about what it actually takes to break out of survival mode. Lisa works with HR professionals to build the mindset, systems, and communication skills needed to stop reacting and start leading - and in this conversation, she shares exactly how.
