"Am I doing this to show how smart I am" - thats another question to consider before speaking up. Also sometimes, it's about HOW you say it.

This was such a great session! My team has been very opposed to engaging in healthy conflict claiming it will destroy their relationships at work and it isn’t their place. I am going to share this talk in our department meeting next week.

Thanks so much for this video! I’ll be more confident to be that little j jerk now.

This is my mission #ihrdifferent. The premise is I’m the HR pro that is a little jerk so you aren’t a big one!

Question: This is exactly my philosophy and my style. Last week, my CEO called and said I need to stay in my own lane. "If it's not related to marketing, you don't need to comment on anything else." Other leaders have suggested that I'm too pushy when it comes to asking for accountability, a value that we publicly advertise as core to our mission -- but privately they admit that it's BS. Is there any hope for my situation? I feel like a failure if I bail and get a new job because they have too much fear to affect change in a company that desperately need it. Thanks for any advice.

The person receiving the message has to look inward and learn that the message is not personal, it's constructive "criticism".

The title of the podcast has the capital J. :)
