Humanizing HR with Holly Norton: Journeys, Compassion, and Resilience

In this episode, Holly Norton and I get into our personal journeys within the realm of HR, sparked by our attendance at the Workhuman Conference. We reflect on the evolution of our careers, from starting in HR to navigating various roles in consulting, private equity, and back to consulting again. Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of authenticity, compassion, and empathy in HR, especially when faced with difficult situations such as terminations or supporting individuals through personal crises.

We highlight the significance of human connection in the age of advancing technology, acknowledging the role of AI while underscoring the irreplaceable value of human interaction. We share insights from speakers at the conference, such as Brené Brown and Cy Wakeman, who emphasized themes of authenticity, resilience, and the need for compassion in leadership.

I invite you to join us on this journey as we navigate the complexities of HR with light, love, and a deep appreciation for the human experience.
