HR practitioners, if you know an outstanding HR practitioner, here’s your time to get them recognized. Nominate them for the SHRM Memphis HR award of excellence today!

On this HR Professional Day, I extend my warmest appreciation to my colleagues. Reflecting on my twenty-year HR career, I recall Todd Poquette’s thought-provoking presentation at DisruptHR Marquette's inaugural event. He pointed out the oxymoron of 'Human Resources,' considering a resource is inherently expendable. This terminology may contribute to the pervasive burnout experienced by HR professionals. I invite you to listen and share your insights: is it time to rebrand our profession? Human Potential? #hr #celebrate #hryourfriendwithbenefits

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a Human Resources Professional's retreat hosted by the City of Fairburn's dynamic HR department. One of the topics of discussion was "discovering purpose driven HR". As I reflect on what is no longer traditional HR, I uncovered that my approach forward will always be best-in-class strategies and practices for meaningful work and engaged teams. Human Resources is my passion - one that allows me to make meaningful impacts on both people and organizations. In other words, I LOVE HR!❤️ #fortheloveofHR #bestinclass #purposedrivenHR

Wow, what a day! Attending my first GVFHR Summit this past Friday, and holy crap—I am still riding the high from it! I woke up excited but had no idea how blown away I would be. The insights and experiences from the day are still replaying in my head, and I can't stop sharing all the little nuggets of wisdom I picked up. The day kicked off with a thought-provoking panel, and from there, I jumped into three fantastic breakout sessions. Here’s a quick rundown: The People Advantage: Cultivating Kindness as a Strategic HR Tool by Cindy Rowe – It was amazing to see kindness framed as a strategic advantage in HR. The Art of Persuasion: Perfecting Your Pitch with Storytelling by Russ Kliman – Loved the challenge of describing myself professionally and personally in just 6 words. Tough, but such a fun exercise! Success through Trust: 3 Keys to Successful, Diverse, and Remote Teams by Ken Sher – So many great takeaways on building trust in today’s ever-evolving workplace. And then, the Keynote—WOW. “HR Leadership is Life! Making Your Organization Better through the Lessons of Ted Lasso.” I was LOCKED IN for all 75 minutes. Michael S. Cohen (He/Him) DELIVERED. I left feeling incredibly inspired to listen more, lean in, and be a better leader by showing up for people in a meaningful way. Kudos to the entire summit committee and all the incredible speakers for making this event so impactful. Already looking forward to next year! #HRLeadership #PeopleFirst #GvfhrSummit2024 #LearningAndDevelopment #TedLassoLeadership #Grateful
