Every year there are a few people in HR who grab my attention and don’t let go. Jamie Jackson is one of them. Why Jamie? I trust her judgment. I learn from her. When she speaks on the HR Besties podcast, I find myself nodding along, not because she is pandering to me, but because…
Are You Ready For More? Most people wait for a promotion or a performance review to tell them it’s time to grow. You don’t need any of that because you already know it’s time. You need a reset, a plan, and the confidence to lead yourself into the new year. Join me on December 17,…
Stop posting your random thoughts and feelings to social media. It’s weird. I’m not saying that from a high horse. I’m saying it from the front seat of the same clown car. Who are you talking to? Who am I talking to? Why are we performing our loneliness in public like it’s a talent show?…
I’ve been giving a virtual talk called “Ready for More” to employees and leaders at learning events, lunch-and-learns, and sales meetings. It’s about taking ownership of your work, making wise decisions, inspiring others, and finding momentum in a world that won’t stop changing. I’ve shared it with Fortune 100 companies, tech firms, healthcare groups, nonprofits,…
This week on Punk Rock HR, I’m joined by Scott Stratten, speaker, author, and one of my favorite people to chat with about work. We recorded this conversation live on LinkedIn to explore AI in HR.

In this week’s episode of the Punk Rock HR Podcast, Blair Whitman, VP of Client Success at Homethrive, joins me for a conversation about caregiving. Why is it so hard to name at work? How does stigma keep people silent about its challenges? What can employers do to meaningfully support their people? Blair shares her…
“If you were my wife, I wouldn’t let you do this job.” A friend said that to me in 2010. We were offstage at a conference, and I’d just shown him the emails I was getting. Vulgar, obscene, stomach-turning messages. He was horrified. This was fifteen years ago. We were younger, optimistic, and the business…
In this week’s episode of Punk Rock HR, Robin Schooling joins Laurie Ruettimann for an honest conversation about what’s broken in HR and what it’ll take to fix it. Robin’s new book, Real HR: What It Is, What It Can Be, and How to Get There, is part memoir, part manifesto, and thoroughly grounded in…
There’s a lot of chatter on LinkedIn lately about how HR needs to be “AI fluent.” It sounds urgent. Strategic. Maybe even inevitable. It’s also mostly nonsense.
