Building Organizational Resilience
In this episode, Paul sits down with Mindy Honcoop, a seasoned People Leader and HR advisor with over 20 years of experience.
Mindy shares her insights into helping organizations and leaders navigate the complexities of rapid change in today’s dynamic work environment. She emphasizes the importance of creating frameworks that foster resilience and adaptability, both at the employee and leadership levels.
The conversation dives into the challenges managers face in times of change, the role of HR in driving strategic initiatives, and the growing trend of fractional HR leadership. Mindy and Paul explore why humans naturally resist change and how organizations can better support their people through effective communication, thoughtful meeting structures, and continuous learning.
They also discuss the importance of slowing down to go faster—encouraging organizations to be more reflective in their approach to strategy and operations. Mindy offers valuable perspectives on the evolving role of HR and how small to medium businesses can leverage fractional HR leaders to scale meaningfully. Resources mentioned in this episode: •
