If you missed yesterday’s HR After Hours special celebration of 20 Years of Evil HR Lady, you can catch it here!
Here’s what we talked about:
-
Rachael Harlan brought her bird Suzie and shared how training a wounded bird of prey is really the same as going through an ADA interactive process. If you do it right, everyone is better in the end.
-
Giovannina Suluh focused on how attention to detail is the key to success in both people management and pageants. Plus, your ability to answer dumb questions with a smile puts you ahead.
-
Rachel Klepadlo pointed out that both HR and competitive sports require patience and long, unglamorous preparation for a single high-stakes moment (an audit vs. a meet). Plus, she’s able to model good boundaries for others at the office.
-
Marie Lobbezoo explained how the research and investigative skills used in historical reenactment — sorting out “what’s the real truth” from what’s written or said — mirror workplace investigations. We’re always trying to figure out what really happened.
-
Suzanne Lucas explained the “yes, and” principle of improv is also the key to success in HR. You get what you get, and you build on that.
Stay tuned! Tomorrow we will announce the second 20th anniversary event.
