In this episode, Sarah Hamilton-Gill is joined by Nikki Masterman, MD and Founder of Inspired HR Ltd in the UK, and Tracey Corea, Founder and Principal Consultant of Robertson HR in the USA, who both attended our Corfu Retreat in September 2023.
Their initial expectations of the retreat were somewhat different from the profound experiences they ultimately encountered. Nikki embarked on her consultancy journey eight years ago, experiencing rapid growth, bringing with it long hours, along with the challenges brought about by working in HR throughout the pandemic.
This journey left her on the brink of burnout. In contrast, Tracey is at the beginning of her entrepreneurial voyage, with her business just one year old, eagerly seeking opportunities to learn and collaborate. Nikki arrived at the retreat armed with an extensive to-do list and lofty aspirations. Did she accomplish everything on her list? No, but what she gained was immeasurable.
In this episode, Nikki reveals that she's typically a very private person who avoids vulnerability. However, the nurturing and supportive environment of the retreat allowed her to let down her guard. Both Tracey and Nikki share common words when discussing their retreat experiences: rejuvenation, refocusing, relaxation, motivation, reenergizing, creativity, and reflection. These words encapsulate the essence of what we all sometimes require – a pause to contemplate, reassess our goals, and subsequently regain focus on our path forward.
If you are listening to this and thinking about taking the leap into HR consulting, but not sure if it’s for you, we have a great way for you to find out, and it will only cost you £25 (plus vat). Why not take a look at our 4 hour mini course with profiling tools and questionnaires? https://bit.ly/LeapHRW1023
