The operative word for me is "earn."

I may look young, but I first paid my dues before moving up. It's been a 14-year from a street-smart, natural born leader to a book-smart, and while my helped, it was the of the Hard Knocks that prepared me the corporate world.

I ALWAYS knew I was destined for something greater, even when the naysayers counted me out.

Reflecting on my July 2019 post, I had just accepted my new job. I started fearful of the unknown, but remained driven and optimistic about my future. I knew I had plenty to offer (creativity, innovation, strategy, and leadership) and worried if it would be reciprocated.

I earned my first promotion within 9 months, which put my mind at ease. Then, I got more specific about the goals on my vision board last year.

After earning my certification, I earned a second promotion to Regional Director of Human Resources now, in less than 2.5 years.

And I'm not done yet! My new goals are loading... and in the meantime...

TELL ME a goal you achieved this year or last, in the comments, so we can celebrate and KEEP GOING!!!

Cheers!! ๐Ÿฅ‚ ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ

Believe it or not, I'm a little shy when it comes to social media. I push through because I have a passion for business and entrepreneurship and a calling to help them succeed through stronger leadership at all levels of the organization.

My emphasis lies with the leaders, especially new leaders, as they mold employees' daily and strategic activities to achieve the company's goals. Often, when you see high turnover and/or low morale, there is a direct correlation to management. Hence, The Career Puff, where I show people their superpowers.

๐ŸšจI need help reaching the right audience. ๐Ÿšจ

Tag your career-focused friend, a manager, seasoned or new, and anyone who could benefit from my advice. I also have a lot of big bosses on my page who are GETTING IT -- I welcome you to chime in on my posts anytime with your expertise. ๐Ÿ˜˜

Thank you in advance!

Stop being scared to coach your staff!

As an HR leader, I've had to address poor hygiene, redirect low performers and confront office bullies.

1. Employees deserve the opportunity to adjust and improve their performance before being terminated. (Unless it's egregious or illegal)

2. It's YOUR job as a leader is to set expectations and correct unacceptable patterns.

3. We have a national labor shortage and need to invest in the staff we have.

Tell me in the comments ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ on a scale from 1 (super uncomfortable๐Ÿ˜ณ) - 10 (๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ don't ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพmind ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพone๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ bit), how comfortable are you with confrontation?

What's the most uncomfortable conversation you've had with an employee?

Treat your staff right, or someone else will!

A part of my role as a Regional Human Resources Manager is to oversee recruitment. My team recruits for 18 locations nationwide, and we manage over 100 requisitions daily, where more than 3/4 are a high priority. The work is cyclical and though I'm sure they grow weary, you'd never know because they do it all with a smile.

Today, I took them for a tour of one of our newer facilities to deepen their understanding of our company's operations and to give them a break from the office. I invited my VP, we had a nice lunch with the senior leaders and took a few pictures.

While leaving, I told them how much I appreciate their work and gave them each a gift. They aren't Rolexes, but I took time to find something I knew they'd love and they were grateful.

How many of you have worked for someone who won't even say, "thank you?" Well the era where that is tolerated is long GONE.

You have to treat your people right, or someone else will.

What kind of incentives do you have for your team?

Drop a ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ if you got it right!

In my previous post, I asked which photo is best for a professional LinkedIn appearance and you guessed it: B!

Let me tell you why the others didnโ€™t make the cut.

A:
๐ŸšฉIt's a selfie
๐ŸšฉToo revealing
๐ŸšฉMy pose is unprofessional

C:
๐ŸšฉBusy Background
๐ŸšฉNo props needed
๐ŸšฉI am not the focus

Remember:
โœ”It's all about you. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Keep your accessories, background, makeup and other potential distractions to a minimum.
โœ”Dress a cut above your norm - Imagine interviewing for your dream job, but make it fashionnn.
โœ”Wear a color that compliments your skin tone for an energetic and healthy appearance.
โœ”Smile or "smize," like Tyra to exude warmth and confidence.
โœ”Look straight on, but twist your torso slightly.
โœ”Edit, if you must, but don't go crazy.

Now would you believe me if I told you I took this photo on my own?

A, B or C??

Iono who needs to hear this, but... it's time to beef up your profile on .

In case you've been under a rock, that's where many new career and business are. If I showed you my inbox, you'd see a half dozen companies recently tapping me for lucrative HR leadership roles. It's not always about looking for another job, but this is how you can network, showcase your abilities and expand your options. Don't miss your chance to make a great connection or advance your career.

So, where do you start?

With a new photo! ๐Ÿ“ท

Even though your pic will be reduced to a tiny, round bubble, your headshot should still be polished, professional and show your personality. So, which one would you choose?

Take your best guess and I'll give you some tips in my next post.

Hey, Boss! Use that PTO and take that vacation.

Show your team It's OK to take a day off.

Personally, I don't regard my employee's requests as optional, but more of a courtesy, as long as it's done with a respectful amount of notice of course. I consider all the time they invested into making plans, the celebrations that might ensure and I remember they are adults, with lives.

Swipe for a glaring employer ๐Ÿšฉ

My : Even if the workload gets heavy, once you've approved time off, leave it BE! Or else, your staff might join the 4.3 million people who quit their jobs last month.

What is your philosophy on this as a leader? Tell me some other employer red flags in the comments.

I learned this is how Mexicans, and others in Latin countries, say "salud" or "cheers." The literal translation is "up," "down," "center," "inside," but in custom, it means "to my friends"... you are never above me, never below me, never away from me and always with me.

Here's to a perfect trip to during

I've had a ball meeting people from all over the world. It's amazing how similar we still are and how easily we connect through food, , music and more.

All my , experienced or new, tell me your next in the comments!
