    The Mindset HR Needs to Thrive Today with Alden Mills

    Send us a text One of my favorite guests, Alden Mills talks about how to become UNSTOPPABLE!   Unlock the power of self-leadership with the wisdom of Alden Mills, former Navy SEAL and celebrated author, in our latest Rebel HR podcast. Alden brings the firepower of his new book "Unstoppable Mindset" to the fore, providing invaluable insights on the impact of leading oneself to lead others effectively. As we explore this concept together, expect to discover how to harness an unstoppable mindset, vital for thriving in HR roles and beyond. Our conversation dives into the potent ripples self-leadership creates within team dynamics and the broader organizational culture, emphasizing the profound effect our thoughts, focus, and beliefs have on our capacity to shape not only our futures but also those of the companies we serve. Perfection is a pursuit that can paralyze, and Alden Mills knows this all too well. With a fresh perspective that challenges the traditional approach to perfectionism, he guides us through the labyrinth of leadership beyond the boundaries of titles. Throughout this episode, we share strategies for those struggling with the pursuit of perfection, advocating progress over an unattainable ideal, and granting you the permission to embrace imperfection. By redefining perfectionism and emphasizing the need for prioritizing tasks, Alden helps lift the weight of unrealistic expectations, freeing leaders to act decisively and improve continuously. Lastly, we tackle the transformative power of positive focus, equating the need for multiple positive affirmations to neutralize a single negative thought. This positively charged discussion underscores the importance of HR professionals as organizational leaders and the revolutionary role they play in cultivating successful mindsets and challenging outdated practices. By aligning our gut, heart, and head, Alden Mills propels us towards congruent decision-making, encouraging a leadership stance that is as bold as it is effective.

    Well-Being Intelligence: Thomas Roulet on Mental Health, Technology & Culture

    Send us a text How do we create workplaces where well-being isn’t an afterthought, but a core capability? In this episode of the Rebel HR Podcast, Kyle Roed sits down with Professor Thomas Roulet, Professor of Organizational Sociology and Leadership at Cambridge Judge Business School, to discuss his new book Well-Being Intelligence (co-authored with Dr. Karen Blakeley). The book—out October 7 in the U.S. and already available internationally—translates cutting-edge research and clinical insights into practical tools for HR leaders, managers, and employees to protect and improve mental health at work. Together, Kyle and Thomas explore: Why “Well-Being Intelligence” matters — and how it builds on emotional intelligence through self-awareness, reflection, and practical action.The hidden costs of remote work — from burnout to the struggle to disconnect, and why balance (not mandates) is the key to hybrid success.Why in-person connections still matter — how water-cooler conversations, mentoring, and psychological safety reduce stress and normalize challenges.Technology and mental health — the surprising downsides of over-reliance on AI tools, including social disconnection, sleep issues, and weaker onboarding experiences.The role of boundaries — why setting limits, taking real holidays, and modeling healthy behavior as leaders is essential for building sustainable cultures.What HR can do upstream — moving beyond crisis response to designing cultures, systems, and roles that prevent mental health issues before they escalate.Thomas also shares insights from his research during the pandemic, his work on mentoring in high-stress professions like policing, and why simple reflection on the root causes of stress can unlock meaningful organizational change. 📘 Well-Being Intelligence is a must-read for HR professionals, leaders, and anyone who wants to build healthier, more resilient organizations.

    The Rebel Leader's Guide to Innovation

    Send us a text Ever wonder why large companies struggle to innovate despite having vast resources at their disposal? According to Andy Binns, co-founder of ChangeLogic and co-author of "Corporate Explorer," we've been looking at innovation all wrong. The secret to corporate innovation isn't hiring outside entrepreneurs or creating flashy innovation labs. It's identifying and empowering the "corporate explorers" already within your organization. These individuals aren't necessarily the loudest or most charismatic people in the room. Often they're humble, introspective problem-solvers with deep institutional knowledge and the social capital to navigate complex organizational systems. Binns challenges our assumptions about innovation, revealing that ideas aren't the problem—most organizations have plenty. The real challenge lies in properly incubating and scaling those ideas. He outlines a three-discipline approach: ideation (understanding customer problems), incubation (experimenting with data-driven learning), and scaling (converting experiments into revenue). While most companies obsess over ideation, the latter two disciplines determine success. Creating separate systems for exploration is crucial. Corporate explorers need protection from the optimization-focused core business, which naturally squashes innovation for efficiency. This doesn't mean relocating to different buildings, but it does require distinct metrics, cultural norms, and management approaches. Surprisingly, special financial incentives aren't necessary to motivate these internal innovators—they're driven by impact, autonomy, and the opportunity to create meaningful change within organizations they care about. For HR leaders, this means rethinking talent identification and development. The approach works for organizations of all sizes, not just corporate giants. By recognizing and empowering your internal explorers, you might discover that large companies actually have advantages over startups in the innovation game. Ready to unleash the innovation potential of your organization? Start by looking within—your next breakthrough innovator is probably already on your payroll.
