I can’t believe we’re wrapping up the very first season of Breaking the Mould!

This journey has been all about challenging norms in HR and finding innovative ways to truly take care of our people. In this episode, I look back at the powerful conversations and game-changing insights shared by our incredible guests. From redefining wellness and leadership to uncovering the impact of metabolic health, this season has been an eye-opener. Stick around as I give you a sneak peek into Season 2—it's going to be even bigger, bolder, and packed with fresh ideas to reshape HR!

As we close out this season, I’m reflecting on everything we’ve learned together. This season, we dove deep into the heart of HR—wellness, leadership, talent acquisition, and performance management. I’ve had the privilege of sitting down with brilliant minds who’ve shared actionable advice and inspiring stories.

From Ian and Jeng unpacking wellness versus well-being to Randy reminding us of leadership fundamentals, every conversation reminded me why I love this field. Nichole’s story of thriving at work while navigating motherhood stuck with me, and Rylle’s no-nonsense approach to organizational development was a game-changer. We even tackled metabolic health with Oca, showing how employee well-being fuels productivity.
