Hi everyone— I wanted to share a quick update and get your input. I’ve been paying attention to how this space is being used, and like many of you, I know time is limited and most people aren’t looking for another place to “engage.” What I hear more often is: 👉 “I just need quick, practical help when something comes up.” Because of that, I’m considering closing the Badass HR Hub in its current format and shifting to a simpler approach focused on: - practical tools and resources (the Badass HR Toolkit) - and short, real-world sessions where we work through actual situations Before I make a final decision, I’d love your input: What would actually be most helpful to you? - Quick access to templates/tools - Occasional live sessions to talk through real HR situations - Both - Or this type of space just isn’t something you’d likely use Feel free to comment or message me directly. I appreciate you being part of this space—it’s helped me think through how to better support you in a way that actually fits your day-to-day.

As an HR department of one, none or few, your time is at a premium. Here’s a mistake many of us make: We manage our calendars. But we don’t manage our focus. If everything feels urgent, here’s a simple reset: 🕧The 3–Block Rule Every week, identify three blocks of time (60–90 minutes each) that are protected for work that actually moves the needle (not email, meetings, or reacting). Examples: - Preparing for a tough accountability conversation - Reviewing performance trends - Building a hiring or onboarding plan - Creating structure for better 1:1s - Thinking (yes, thinking counts) Put those blocks on your calendar first and treat them like a client meeting you would never cancel. Small, consistent blocks of focused time prevent big, messy issues later. 👉 Question: What would qualify as a “needle mover” for you this week? Drop one below.
