Quotes:

“I want to see more CHROs stepping up to develop the next leaders and making sure they’re prepared for the job. I think that would help alleviate impostor syndrome.”

“I’ve seen a lot of females in HR roles be the scapegoat for failures beyond their capacity of what they can do within an organization.”
