1 00:00:05,608 --> 00:00:12,989 Kyle Roed: She said Mama loves Jesus 2 00:00:18,179 --> 00:00:22,109 What did that do? Did you just have a feeling? Maybe you 3 00:00:22,109 --> 00:00:24,539 thought I sucked at singing and why am I listening this podcast 4 00:00:24,539 --> 00:00:30,870 and that's okay. Music evokes emotion. What is HR do we are 5 00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:35,820 also supposed to evoke emotion? 6 00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:35,820 But what emotion Do you evoke? 7 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,280 Are you Toby from the office? 8 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:45,689 Are you oh shit hrs here? What do I do? What did I do wrong? 9 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:47,700 Side? No, you probably do have a reputational issue. It's time to 10 00:00:45,689 --> 00:00:47,700 Irbil. 11 00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:54,149 Billy Idol for you. 12 00:00:55,228 --> 00:01:00,418 The best musicians are rebels. 13 00:00:55,228 --> 00:01:04,918 So I asked you this, what genre are you trying to play at your 14 00:01:00,448 --> 00:01:04,918 organization? Here's the secret. 15 00:01:04,948 --> 00:01:08,578 There are only really like five chords that you need to play in 16 00:01:08,578 --> 00:01:14,789 order to play most popular music. Just played almost all 17 00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:20,338 music. The difference is how you play those five chords matters. 18 00:01:20,368 --> 00:01:21,388 Are you playing on like this? 19 00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:27,299 Or like this? 20 00:01:33,209 --> 00:01:36,719 So gotta ask yourself this question. Who are you as an 21 00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:41,640 artist, here's an issue. context switching is a problem. If your 22 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,489 organization is asking you to switch from one genre to the 23 00:01:44,489 --> 00:01:49,140 next, every few minutes, you are going to screw something up, you 24 00:01:49,140 --> 00:01:52,170 will get tired. On average, it takes people about 10 minutes to 25 00:01:52,170 --> 00:01:55,140 get back into a productive workflow after being 26 00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:01,920 interrupted, so you might be playing a sweet solo. And then 27 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:09,509 some drunk asshole says play for Uber. Sidenote, if you are a 28 00:02:09,509 --> 00:02:12,030 musician, you do have to learn how to play Freebird. Or you 29 00:02:12,030 --> 00:02:15,270 will get beat up at the bar. So make sure that you know how to 30 00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:18,780 play Freebird. But the point is, you can't do it all. You can't 31 00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:22,409 play every single genre for everybody. You have to find the 32 00:02:22,409 --> 00:02:26,189 right genre for you. And you have to find the right band 33 00:02:26,189 --> 00:02:29,789 members to play that genre with you, sidenote, always find the 34 00:02:29,789 --> 00:02:34,349 drummer they are the hardest to find. Once you find your band, 35 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:37,620 now you've got to deal with stage fright. Trying to achieve 36 00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:40,560 social performance is exhausting. But guess what, 37 00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:45,960 that's what HR does every single freaking day. We are onstage 38 00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:50,759 acting. Here's the trick. You can't fake it. You have to be 39 00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:54,449 authentic and you have to be true even when it hurts. If you 40 00:02:54,449 --> 00:02:57,840 are constantly acting over and over and over again, it's 41 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,620 exhausting. You will burn yourself out how many articles 42 00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:05,729 that we read lately about HR fatigue. The problem is human 43 00:03:05,729 --> 00:03:10,110 behavior. When you constantly consider your actions, you screw 44 00:03:10,110 --> 00:03:13,229 up, you have to learn how to play your own music, or people 45 00:03:13,229 --> 00:03:16,199 will tell that you are not playing the genre that you 46 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:20,009 should shouldn't be playing. 47 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:23,669 Here's a quote I love. If you tell the truth. You don't have 48 00:03:20,009 --> 00:03:26,430 to remember anything. That's a Mark Twain quote. And that's 49 00:03:23,669 --> 00:03:30,930 what we should all be striving to do. If we are faking it, we 50 00:03:26,430 --> 00:03:33,060 will fail. Eventually, when I started my career, I thought I 51 00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:38,520 had to play everything in C major. Because it's pretty and 52 00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:40,800 it's right and it's like that that corporate headshot with the 53 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,439 shiny photo that everybody wants. But the truth is that I 54 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:53,819 should be playing a C minor that's just me. That's who I am. 55 00:03:50,159 --> 00:04:01,319 So ask yourself this. How are you doing? Are you playing the 56 00:03:53,819 --> 00:04:04,199 blues on a Sunday? Because that sucks. If you've got the Sunday 57 00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:05,969 scaries if you dread going into work, guess what? You're 58 00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:10,229 probably playing the wrong genre. So do you need a bridge? 59 00:04:05,969 --> 00:04:13,349 A bridge is a contrasting section and music that gets 60 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:16,560 people to go back to the return to the original material. Is it 61 00:04:13,469 --> 00:04:20,879 time for you to go back to your original material? Ask yourself 62 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:25,199 that. Here's the thing. We can make a difference in HR. If we 63 00:04:20,910 --> 00:04:29,250 are our authentic selves. Oh by the way, close it out on a 64 00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:29,250 badass power cord. lasting mark. 65 00:04:36,269 --> 00:04:36,750 Rebel
