What if taking care of yourself is the most powerful leadership move you'll ever make? Burnout can lead to massive transformations, but is that really the path you want to take to get there?
Amy Hanlon-Rodemich spent 28 years chasing one goal: Chief People Officer of a global company. She got there. She rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange. She also went through breast cancer treatment by driving from radiation straight back to the office, every day for 3 weeks.
Then she walked away, slept for a month, and started remembering who she is.
Today she's proudly at her goal weight, so happy, and working with a company she's obsessed with: Big Band AI, her own venture bringing HR into the future. She's also the author of 2 books and host of Don't Talk to HR, recording from a studio that doubles as her quilting room.
We talk about putting your own mask on first, why forgiving yourself is the harder (and more freeing) part, and the question Amy asks every time her confidence wobbles: what would a man do? She shares why she calls herself a People Jedi, what she witnessed helping teams in Ukraine, and one Workplace WTF story so wild you'll want your headphones on.
We close with an oracle reading that lands for Amy, and for you too.
