205: Real talk, the realities of life as a People leader with some of the Bloom crew ✳‪️‬ Women Who Lead

This is a really special episode my friends. I managed to assemble four brilliant women who have gone through the Bloom programme together for a conversation about what it means to be a woman in HR. We have Hanna Smith, Natasha Norman, Allison Anti and Gemma Lockhart. I am so thankful for their honesty, and humility... and for the fact they they chose to empower themselves and Bloom. This episode is for you if you want to know about:✳️ That as a People leader, it is okay to be the heart of an organisation... it's more than okay actually, it is badass! ✳️ That rather than building confidence, it's more about rebuilding it - we lose confidence through our experiences as women but we used to have it ✳️ How to bringing your authentic energy as a People leader and learn how to take up space at the leadership table. ✳️ Overcoming the negative perceptions of HR in the workplace, things like being called HR robots There's also a brilliant interlude, baked in the middle of our conversation somewhere, but one that you won't want to miss. See if you can find it. Thank you for being here. If you have any feedback, comments or suggestions, I'd love to hear from you at ruth@ourtimetobloom.com.
