Description

Today’s episode is centered around a quote I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. It’s from Michelle Obama. She said:

“Don’t be afraid. Be focused. Be determined.”

Simple. Powerful. And incredibly relevant to HR leaders.

Because let’s be honest - fear is part of the journey. 

Whether you're navigating a tough conversation, advocating for a seat at the executive table, or preparing to step into your first C-suite role, fear shows up.

But it’s what you do with that fear that matters.

Kristen Wade helps HR professionals who want to reach the executive level,
to stop putting out fires and become more strategic with their time. For individual support, apply for Kristen's Signature Program here and she'll be in touch to invite you to a free discovery call.
