Building Strong Habits: Embracing the Human Experience

The HX Podcast with Stacie Baird

Welcome back to HR to HX! This ongoing series is all about the "no rules" rules, guidance, and lessons learned from my over 25 years in the human resources space. I have some incredible guests with even more experience right around the corner, but today's episode is all about the inside-out job of HR and the power of building strong habits.

I recently did a webinar with Verified First, and it got me thinking about the importance of self-compassion. This is a game-changer, not only for us as HR professionals but also for our teams and employees. It's all about showing ourselves kindness and grace, especially after tough conversations or challenging situations.

In this episode I'll explore three steps to cultivate self-compassion: mindfulness, connecting with common humanity, and self-kindness. It's not just about "woo-woo stuff"; it's about embracing our emotions and being present in our own human experience.

As HR leaders, we navigate through tough decisions and interpersonal dynamics daily. The inside-out work is key to how we show up for our teams and make a true impact in the organization. So let's dive into this powerful practice of self-compassion and discover how it can be a game-changer for you and your HR journey.

And a special thank you to our sponsor, Verified First, for supporting this episode and our shared mission of cultivating a positive human experience. Go to VerifiedFirs.com for more information, and join us on HR to HX as we continue this journey of growth and empowerment.
