Have you ever looked up from your jam-packed calendar and thought, “How did I get here?”
You’ve been busy. You’ve been grinding. You’ve been putting out fires left and right.
But somehow... you’re still in the same place.
If that feels familiar, you’re not alone.
As HR professionals and high-achievers, we’re often the go-to problem-solvers. We’re trained to react, to pivot, to keep things moving.
But here’s the truth:
You can’t lead effectively when you’re stuck in reactive mode.
You can’t steer a parked car.
And you can’t move forward while standing still.
In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about how to break out of autopilot - how to stop running from task to task and instead lead your life and career with intention.
I’ll share a personal story from my childhood that taught me the power of organization and intentionality in the face of constant change.
And I’ll walk you through a simple framework to help you shift from reacting to strategically creating the life and career you want.
Let’s dive in.
Kristen Wade helps HR professionals who want to reach the executive level,
to stop putting out fires and become more strategic with their time. For individual support, apply for Kristen's Signature Program here and she'll be in touch to invite you to a free discovery call.
