Still relevant?
7:03
I think it is still relevant, but unfortunately, at the current state of hiring and, um...
7:10
The example I wanna give on this is that people, everybody thinks that they can do HR, and if you're listening to this podcast, you already know that to be true.
7:18
And especially now, where people feel like they can type some stuff into their phone and say, "This told me this," versus, you know, 15, 20 years of HR experience.
7:28
So, when we're saying jobs need to have, you know, clear expectation of what good looks like, I don't actually think most companies know what that is.
7:36
If they can't even tell you why they set the goals they set, how are they telling people how to get to those goals in those jobs?

Yes.
28:58
That is what's happening.
23:18
this more often yeah this is what this is what it's like to yeah like this is what it's like to not have to be seven people at once holy cow it was still really hard i'm not saying it was like sunshine and roses but jessica did you always know you wanted to go into content creation was that like your goal when you're going through your career of like getting certain jobs so i can get to a certain place now just like how did it happen yeah Absolutely
23:40
not.
23:42
I started writing content on LinkedIn, honestly, around 2020, just because I had so much to say and was like, yeah, there's a different way we could do this.
23:52
And my style of leadership is very much we should be doing better.
23:56
So sometimes I quote unquote, get in trouble with people because they're like, but you are HR.
24:00
So you, you know, how are you talking about these things and talking about other HR people? And I'm like, because I actually like all HR people.
24:08
And I I don't start anything like me either, you know? And that's okay.

Squiggle is the way to do it, you know? I'm curious in your coaching business how often you're coaching people that are – either becoming a mom or a new mom? Or how often does that change become part of the mix of why they need coaching?
