Today I want to talk to you about something that comes up more often than you’d expect - even among smart, capable HR professionals.
I was having a conversation the other day with a talented HR leader. She’s experienced, driven, and respected. But she said something that really stuck with me.
She asked:
"Can I really be successful if I show up as me? Or do I have to fit into some executive mold that doesn’t quite feel like mine?"
Maybe you’ve asked yourself a version of that question too.
👉 “Do I have to be louder?”
👉 “More aggressive?”
👉 “More ‘corporate’?”
👉 “Less emotional?”
👉 “More like… them?”
The short answer? No.
You don’t have to become someone else to be successful.
But - you do have to learn how to think like an executive.
That’s what today’s episode is all about.
