Ross discussed innovative approaches to building people-centric workplaces and shared practical strategies for creating connection and a great employee experience even in highly constrained environments.   Jason and Ross explored the evolution of recruiting into a more human-centered role through the idea of People Partners. Together, they unpacked how this approach challenges traditional HR models and could reshape employee experience, leadership effectiveness, and the future of work.   Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include: 👉 People Partners extend their care well beyond the offer letter, acting as a bridge between employees and managers to foster understanding and trust. 👉By knowing employees’ stories, needs, and motivators, people partners can deliver resources and encouragement that matter most, fueling both growth and retention. 👉 An innovative perspective is shared on navigating the complexities of federal contracting—such as highly restricted work environments and fragmented cultures—while still delivering a strong employee experience. 👉 Unique challenges of supporting employees working remotely across diverse client sites with limited communication, as well as creative strategies to close those gaps. 👉 How investing in deep, ongoing relationships with employees boosts retention, psychological safety, and referrals.   ***   Ross Hecox has built a reputation as a people‑centric leader who blends HR expertise, innovative founder drive, and people-focused leadership to create workplaces that thrive. At Synergy ECP and beyond, he’s recognized for turning empathy and purpose into measurable growth and engagement, always with an eye on the long game.   Connect with Ross: Website: www.synergyecp.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosshecox/   *** Jason Lauritsen is a dynamic keynote speaker and true thought leader in the world of work and employee engagement.

    Key Skills for the Modern CHRO with Kathy Claytor

    “Oftentimes in HR, we are looking at and supporting others. We don’t pay attention to kind of what we need for ourselves... So I would say ask for what you want.” - Kathy Claytor *** In this episode, Kathy Claytor, a long time CHRO at multiple organizations, opens up about her career journey from her “origin story” as an accidental HR pro to leading global HR transformations. She reveals why she believes now is a pivotal time for HR’s impact. Together, Jason and Kathy unpack the changing demands of the CHRO role, mentorship, and how technology and AI are reshaping the work of people leaders everywhere. Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include: 👉 Be intentional about mentorship, identify and invite those you admire to share their wisdom (and don’t be afraid to start with a simple coffee ask). 👉 Modern CHROs need financial savvy, business strategy awareness, and a commitment to becoming voracious learners, beyond the traditional HR practices. 👉 Data proficiency and tech skills are table stakes, but the real value-add? Learning to influence across the enterprise, especially when helping steer AI and digital adoption beyond the HR function. 👉 Advocate for yourself as fiercely as you advocate for others. Don’t assume leaders know your ambitions. Raise your hand! *** Kathy Claytor has built a career defined by leadership, innovation, and a deep commitment to advancing the human resources profession. As an accomplished Chief Human Resources Officer and the current Board Chair at HRCI, she has become a trusted voice in shaping the future of HR. Her professional journey spans influential roles at organizations such as Delta Dental, Northwinds Technology, and One Mind Health India.

    Unlocking the Potential of Reluctant Leaders with Will Matthews

    Join Jason for an eye-opening and hopeful conversation with Will Matthews, the Director of Learning and Engagement (aka “Team Hearts and Minds”) at G Adventures.   Will shares offers fresh insights on how we can better recognize and activate the hidden leaders on our teams. Together, Jason and Will dive deep into the origins and nuances of “reluctant leaders”, those talented individuals who opt out of leadership because of limiting stories or outdated models of what a leader should be.   Key highlights from the episode include: 👉 True leadership isn’t about being loud, social, or front-and-center; it’s about making others better, going first, and creating space for growth.   👉 Managers can unlock incredible results by seeking out reluctant leaders, investing in human-centered development for all, and recognizing that leadership is a collective, evolving practice.   👉 Discover how G Adventures uses innovative programs and clear messaging to ensure every team member, from office to remote guide, feels empowered to lead and connect.   👉 Learn concrete techniques for identifying overlooked talent, inviting introverted and non-traditional employees into growth pathways, and reframing “leadership” as essential human skills.   ***   Connect with Will: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wbmatthews/ ***   JOIN THOUSANDS OF LEADERS WHO ARE HARNESSING THE POWER OF RELATIONSHIPS AT WORK.

  4. What Does It Mean to Lead with Fairness? with Jessica Winder

    What Does It Mean to Lead with Fairness? with Jessica Winder

    Join Jason for a provocative episode as he welcomes Jessica Winder, Senior Vice President of People, Colab Software. She brings a fresh, no-nonsense perspective to employee experience and workplace culture.   Jason and Jessica explore what it means to lead with fairness. Together, they unpack why fairness isn’t about treating everyone the same, how transparency fits into the equation, and what it takes to balance people and performance. It’s a real-world conversation for anyone who’s ever wrestled with making the right call when the answer isn’t black and white.   Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include: 👉 Fairness isn’t about treating everyone the same. It’s about making consistent decisions that align with your values, even when you can’t share all the details. 👉 Lack of transparency breeds mistrust: Overshare what you can, set clear expectations, and be honest when you can’t disclose everything. 👉 Employee perceptions of fairness are shaped as much by how you treat them as by the outcomes you deliver. 👉 Employees feeling unfairly treated should clarify their concerns, gather specifics, and approach the conversation thoughtfully to drive productive dialogue.     ***   Connect with Jessica: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicadwinder/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiddengemcoach/ Website: https://www.hiddengemcareercoaching.com/   ***   JOIN THOUSANDS OF LEADERS WHO ARE HARNESSING THE POWER OF RELATIONSHIPS AT WORK.

Moving beyond traditional one-to-one mentorship, their approach leverages small group mentorship to cultivate peer learning, accelerate skill development, and deliver positive business impact at scale.   Key highlights from this episode include: 👉 Group mentoring amplifies learning by harnessing the diverse perspectives and experiences of peers, enabling participants to both teach and learn within a trusted cohort. 👉 Group mentoring reinforces a culture of inclusivity, curiosity, and openness. It encourages collaboration, builds confidence, and helps employees recognize their shared challenges and aspirations. 👉 How group mentoring outperforms traditional models by fostering connection, peer learning, and diverse perspectives beyond one-on-one setups. 👉 This approach is accessible with the right intention and structure, any organization can begin building a dynamic group mentorship offering, regardless of size or resources.   ***   Connect with Carolina: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cdearriba/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/leading-yourself/id1476733586 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadingyourselfpodcast/   ***   JOIN THOUSANDS OF LEADERS WHO ARE HARNESSING THE POWER OF RELATIONSHIPS AT WORK.

  6. Creating Compassionate Workplaces for Those Experiencing Loss and Grief with Jenna Sage

    Creating Compassionate Workplaces for Those Experiencing Loss and Grief with Jenna Sage

    Join Jason for a thoughtful and deeply moving conversation with Dr. Jenna Sage, Director of Organizational Wellness and Well Being, Ultimate Medical Academy, and executive coach, author, and passionate advocate for whole-person employee support. Jenna discusses how organizations can truly support employees navigating grief, loss, and caregiving. Having walked alongside a loved one through terminal illness, Jenna knows firsthand the weight leaders often carry in silence. She believes it’s time for organizations to normalize conversations around loss, bereavement, and mental wellness, by design, not just in reaction.   Key highlights from this episode include: 👉 Start normalizing discussions about loss, grief, caregiving, and mental health at work. 👉 As a manager, you’re not expected to be a therapist; what’s needed is grace, flexibility, and understanding, not answers or solutions. 👉 Respect and support boundaries, understand that networking events or after-hours obligations might not be a fit for caregivers, and that’s not a lack of commitment. 👉 Rethink bereavement that true compassion looks like flexibility and recognizing the many forms of loss an employee might face.   Connect with Jenna: Website: https://www.beself.ist/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenna-sage-phd-bcba/   *** JOIN THOUSANDS OF LEADERS WHO ARE HARNESSING THE POWER OF RELATIONSHIPS AT WORK.   Subscribe to our newsletter: https://jasonlauritsen.ck.page/950d3cff1f   *** Connect with Jason: Website: https://jasonlauritsen.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonLauritsenVideo LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonlauritsen/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/jasonlauritsen/   #Leadership #PeopleFirst #CompanyCulture #FeedbackLoop #WorkplaceExcellence
