Dr. Teri Baydar, a beacon in the world of consciousness and author of "Flip Your Switch: A User's Guide to a Whole New Mind," joins us to shed light on the transformative power of love consciousness over war consciousness in both our personal lives and corporate environments.

A Journey to Self-Enlightenment in HR with Dr. Teri Baydar

Have you ever wondered what it takes to catapult your company into the future of work? That's exactly what we're unpacking with Dan Michelson, a visionary leader who's redefining the role of HR in the modern workplace. In his transformative new book "Holy Shift," Dan unveils the game-changing strategies that propelled his high-growth company to the top echelons of Glassdoor amid the turbulence of COVID-19 and the great resignation. Through the lens of his extensive experience, we dissect the CORE elements crucial to employee engagement – Community, Opportunity, Relationships, and Experiences – and how these play a pivotal role in shaping a company's culture and workforce productivity.

Picture a workplace where every employee feels an indelible sense of belonging and opportunity for growth. I had a profound conversation with Dan about the strategic importance of these elements, not just for HR professionals but for every manager and CEO committed to nurturing a vibrant company culture. We reflected on the transformative power of genuine relationships and the daily experiences that can be the deciding factor between an employee's loyalty or departure. Dan's insights elevate the conversation from theory to practice, offering a practical toolkit that any listener can apply to foster a workplace that thrives on the collective success of its people.

And for a light-hearted finish, Dan and I riff on a musical note, sharing a chuckle over my son's drum set and the whimsical idea of a family band collaboration. This episode is more than a guide; it's an inspiration for HR leaders and managers alike to embrace the evolution of their roles and to become the conductors of change, orchestrating a workplace symphony that's harmonious with the future of work. So tune in and let's harmonize your company's culture with the rhythm of innovation and engagement.

Holy Shift! Moving Your Company Forward to the Future of Work with Dan Michelson

Imagine stepping into a job interview where the vibe isn't about ticking boxes or rattling off achievements, but instead about genuine human connection. This episode of Rebel HR is precisely that breath of fresh air, as we welcome Lori Wallace from Career Ecology to the stage. Lori shares her vision of recruitment as a deeply personal journey, celebrating radical kindness and a Sherpa-like support system for those navigating the precarious paths of career transitions. It's a conversation that will leave you rethinking the way we approach the delicate dance of hiring and getting hired.

Ever walked into an office that boasted a 'family-like atmosphere' and found yourself in a cutthroat corporate Hunger Games instead? We've all seen companies where the gap between their polished values and the daily grind is wider than the Grand Canyon. In this session, I recount a tale of a wolf in sheep's clothing—a company that talked a big game about mindfulness but dropped the ball when it mattered most. Contrast that with the Cleveland Clinic's approach, where servant leadership isn't just a buzzword but the golden thread woven into their culture, and the difference is staggering. It's a deep dive into the essence of organizational integrity and how staying true to one's values can be a magnet for lasting talent.

To close, we focus on revolutionizing the job interview, transforming it from a stage of high stakes to a space of heartfelt service. Lori walks us through mindful interviewing, offering solace to those who've felt the sting of rejection and practical mantras to shift perspectives from ego-driven to heart-led. We wrap up pondering HR's potential to not just fill positions but to fulfill human potential, urging a move away from seeing people as capital and towards recognizing them as the beating heart of every organization. So, if you're ready to see HR in a whole new light, this is one conversation you won't want to miss.

This episode peels back the layers of what it takes to connect with top talent in an increasingly digital world, highlighting the significance of marketing savvy and streamlined processes in the development of a strong employer brand.
