After waiting for over a month and a half following a referral for the DE&I Chief Officer role at VAMC Malcolm Randall, I received an email yesterday with some tough news—no one from the applicant pool was selected. Not going to lie—it's disappointing. But setbacks can be opportunities for growth, right? 💡 I'm planning to reach out to the HR hiring manager for feedback. Do you think this is the right step? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the value of asking for feedback after a missed opportunity. Has anyone been through something similar? How did you handle it? Let’s keep moving forward 💪 #JobSearch #Resilience #CareerGrowth #FeedbackMatters #OpportunityInSetbacks

Today I am celebrating the first anniversary of the start of my recruiting career with EHS Recruiting Company! I could not be more grateful for the experienced leadership, expert mentorship, and overall collaborative spirit I have found throughout the company, but even more so within my home office in Sarasota. After working in the hospitality industry for over 20 years a major career change was in a word: terrifying. The learning curve has been equally challenging and exciting, but the personal fulfillment I have found has overshadowed any difficulty I have faced. Reflecting on the past year I have learned more than I expected, accomplished more than I had projected, and grown more than I could ever imagine. I would love to take this opportunity to share my biggest takeaways from my first year in my recruitment career: 🍍 Relationships are everything. 🍍 Collaborative Hiring is the future; there are no one-man shows in hiring anymore. 🍍 Culture trumps compensation every single time. 🍍 The harder I work, the luckier I get. As a recruiter, you possess the remarkable capacity to positively impact individuals' lives. You provide them with avenues for career advancement, increased compensation, and opportunities to engage in new, challenging, and exciting environments. It's truly humbling to facilitate livelihoods for others. I can honestly say that my greatest joy has been the ability to change 2️⃣ 1️⃣ people's lives this year and I cannot wait to continue to do so for many years to come! #EHSRecruiting #CareerswithKelly #1yearanniversary

🌟 Celebrating 1 Year at AT&T Mid Markets! 🌟 One year ago this October, I achieved a dream that once felt far away—working at AT&T headquarters as a Specialist Project Manager. Coming from a small island to such a vast environment has been both humbling and empowering. This milestone also marks 20 incredible years with AT&T, a journey filled with growth, learning, and countless memories. These past 12 months have been filled with new goals to reach, 52 weeks of learning, and 365 opportunities to grow. I’ve pushed my boundaries, stepped outside of my comfort zone, and given myself the grace to fail, all while staying motivated to succeed. I’ve learned so much and achieved even more, all because I believed in myself. It hasn’t always been easy, but with courage, positivity, and passion, I continue to strive for excellence. Here’s to more growth, more opportunities, and staying driven by the belief that we can always be better. 🚀 #Motivation #GrowthMindset #PushingBoundaries #ATT #MidMarkets #PassionForExcellence #LifeAtATT

In any team, the wrong mix can derail even the best-laid plans. That’s why, at FDC, we bring one rule into our hiring process: Don’t be a doos, be lekker. Skills matter, but the heart matters more. We’ve learned that skills can be taught, but the essence of a person - their kindness, humility, and their alignment with our core values - is innate. These are the qualities that truly make or break the potential of a team. We’re a community by choice. We choose to be a place where careers are built and character is cultivated and celebrated. So, if you’re ready to be a part of something bigger, to genuinely impact and grow with a team that cares - let’s connect.

To commemorate my 30th career anniversary, I am sharing lessons from three decades of “figuring it out”.  I call it WE MOVE! My first professional job was Director of Human Resources at Securities America. Here are my WE MOVE lessons regarding human resource (HR) management: 🎭 HR’s job is to reduce the drama, not create (or exacerbate) the drama. Every HR problem does not need an immediate response. Sometimes you need to let problems work themselves out.  Let them percolate.  As the emotions diminish over time, the urgency of the issue also diminishes.  And people figure it out without HR intervention. Which is the best outcome. 🗯 If two people are having an interpersonal issue ask:  “Have you talked to the other person about this issue?”  Then coach them on how to have that conversation.  90% of workplace conflicts can be resolved this way. 👯 Great HR professionals are very skilled at helping leaders and employees have authentic conversations.  🥅 80% of your job as a leader can done simply by setting clear expectations (often in the form of goals) - and linking those to rewards (i.e. how the person gets paid). 👨🎓 👩🎓 Hire job candidates who can do the job you need done today …. AND can grow into the next job …. Assessing potential is as equally important in candidate assessment as matching knowledge, skills and abilities. 📔 When applying personnel policy, think about the intent of the policy, not the just letter of the policy. Even the best written and most thorough personnel policy will come up against human situations where strict application of the policy is detrimental to the values and goals of the organization. With a little extra effort, you can figure out how to be consistent, safe and fair in policy application yet still meet the human need.  P.S. I have worked with three excellent HR Directors in my career – Kathy Shotkoski, Nicole Cummings, PHR and Eric Jensen, PHR, SHRM-CP, SWP.  And I worked with many talented HR professionals – two of whom I worked with for over 20 years – Kevin Lammers and Kay Connelley.  Each of them helped me be a more thoughtful, empathetic and strategic HR professional.  I am grateful to you all! WE MOVE!  

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 & 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫: 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 During my university days at Nottingham in 2009-2010, I had a unique part-time experience at Marks & Spencer, where my team members' ages ranged from 18 to 55 years old. This experience offered me profound insights into workplace culture and employee loyalty, observing colleagues who dedicated 25-30 years to the company. Here are the key takeaways from my time at Marks & Spencer: 1. Teamwork Dynamics: Managing roles within a large team helped me appreciate the importance of supporting and covering for each other, especially during unexpected shifts in responsibilities. 2. Discipline and Routine: My early morning shifts, which started at 5 AM and ended at 2 PM (only on weekends), instilled a strong sense of discipline. 3. Operational Management: Handling inventory duties taught me the nuances of stock management and efficient communication with management about supply needs and adjustments. 4. Cultural Insight: Engaging with team members of various ages and tenure provided a firsthand look at how employees perceive and value organizational loyalty and career progression within a retail giant. 5. Adaptability and Growth: Although my background was in law, working in an operational role allowed me to develop adaptable skills and a flexible approach to teamwork and task management. To add a humorous twist, it’s funny to note that my job's early hours at Marks & Spencer introduced me to the "5 AM Club" long before Robin Sharma penned his famous book about it. This position not only equipped me with practical skills but also enriched my understanding of workplace culture, making it a foundational chapter in my professional development. ——————— A delightful coincidence unfolded nearly a decade later when, thanks to my partner in Hyderabad - Mr. Harshavardhan Deshmukh, we secured real estate assignments of Marks & Spencer. Once again with the Retail Giant, this time not as operations team member but as their legal counsel ! #MarksAndSpencer #Teamwork #EarlyRiser #5AMClub #RetailLife #WorkplaceCulture #CareerGrowth #OperationalManagement #EmployeeLoyalty #ProfessionalDevelopment

Appreciate the simplicity in these definitions. Role clarity is foundational to success. At the same time leaders need to flex outside of their box to support other areas of the organization in times of need.
