I spoke at an incredible event last week and got real about how awards and recognition don’t fill my bucket (anymore… boy did they used to) But I remain ambitious and driven- quite so. So what’s fueling the engine?
Change.
Seeing impact unfold in real time. Nothing fills my bucket more than the incremental improvement of supporting people, in my workplace and beyond. I was presenting on benefits innovation and transformational results this week and an attendee said to me immediately afterwards, “this is so compelling, I’m going to call our staff member who just had a baby and increase her benefits, thanks for calling us out.” I appreciated the opportunity to share insight and passion at both the Women Lead Change Global conference and the Society of Human Resources Managers state of Iowa conference.
Who’s job is it to change the world if not the leaders of organizations? Get some skin in the game and support people.
