This week’s episode takes you back to one of my favorite sessions — where I covered the “quiet trends” reshaping today’s workplaces. From quiet quitting and quiet firing to quiet hiring, quiet promoting, and quiet leading — these patterns aren’t so quiet anymore.
During my roundtable at the Workforce Health USA Conference, we explored:
· What these quiet trends really mean and how they show up in daily work life.
· Why they signal deeper cultural, communication, and leadership challenges within organizations.
· How both leaders and employees can address them head-on through open dialogue, empathy, and accountability.
You’ll also hear insights from my fellow panelists on thesame topic at the Future Work USA Conference, where we discussed how these trends reflect a changing workforce — and what you can do to prevent silence from taking over your team’s engagement, morale, and productivity.
Because the healthiest workplaces aren’t built on quiet assumptions — they’re built on honest and straight conversations.

Toxic behavior in the workplace isn’t always easy to define. Is it simple rudeness, or something deeper, like racism or bias?
As leaders, we’re often the first line of defense. That’s why the PRO approach and our H.U.M.A.N. Framework matter. Together, they provide a practical roadmap for hearing concerns, understanding context, mobilizing interventions, modeling respect, and normalizing accountability.
- point of view, reactions, outcome (PRO)
- hear, understand, mobilize, act-action, and to normalize (H.U.M.A.N)
This episode/blog shares how leaders can step back, assess situations clearly, and respond with fairness, protecting both mental health and workplace culture. Because strong leaders don’t just react- they set the standard.

Did you know the way we phrase our questions can significantly influence the outcome of our conversations? This week, we're diving into a powerful coaching skill I've recently learned: asking questions for impact, also known as the framing effect.
In this episode, we'll explore why shifting from a "telling" to a"coaching" mindset is a crucial skill for leaders. We'll learn how asking more questions empowers your team to think critically, uncover solutions, and take ownership, making them feel more valued and engaged in their work.
I'll walk you through three simple yet powerful techniques to reframe your questions:
1. Reverse the Focus: Uncover blind spots and what might be missing by flipping your question from what you are doing to what you are not.
2. Introduce a Constraint: Spark innovation and cut through the noise by adding a seemingly outrageous limit that forces your team to prioritize high-impact actions.
3. Connect Emotionally to Your Future Self: Tap into wisdom and gain perspective by asking your team to imagine what advice their more experienced self would givethem.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a new perspective on how to lead with questions, not answers, and you'll be equipped with practical tools to transform your conversations and build a more resourceful and confident team.

What If a Person Isn’t the Right Fit for the Team? Credentials may get you in the door, but competence and collaboration keep you on the team.
In this episode of Ask HR, our question is: What if a person just isn’t the right fit for the team, even when their resume shines?
This is Part 1 of a 3-part series exploring how misalignment impacts team success and why accountability in these situations isn’t a one-way street. It’s a shared responsibility for the health and performance of the entire team.
We’re unpacking three early warning signs to watch for:
· Persistent interpersonal conflict or lack of collaboration
· Resistance to feedback, stalling growth and agility
· Ongoing underperformance despite support, clear expectations, and training
You’ll learn how to spot these signals early, often within the first 90 to 180 days and how proactive leaders can build a simple “team fit warning system” to prevent long-term friction.
Tune in now to learn how to recognize the red flags before they disrupt your team’s rhythm.
Next week: Part 2 explores how ignoring these signs impacts productivity, morale, and innovation.

In this After-Hours edition of Ask HR, these are our confessions — the disconnect between what employeessay and what leadership actually hears. From culture misalignment and DEI fatigue, to trust gaps and broken promises of promotion, this episode unpacks a few exit statements (including my own).
What you’ll hear in this episode:
• Why people leave even “good” jobs with potential
• What leaders think they’re hearing vs. what’s actually being said
• The hidden truths behind workplace flexibility, inclusion, and internal mobility
• How broken promises, silence, and leadership gaps push talent away
• A simple but powerful framework to shift culture — not just fix turnover
Why it matters:
Most resignations are preventable — but only if someone is really listening. This isn’t just about exit interviews. It’s about missed stay conversations, burnout masked as passion, and values that no longer feel aligned.
The workplace whisper turns into a decision to walk out. And sometimes? That decision starts after hours.
My challenge to you: rethink the exit statements we shared — and consider a few of your own. • Apply the framework: What can you do to change someone’s mind before they walk away?• Share your thoughts in the comments or email us at AskHR@yppmc.com.

As people leaders, learning to coach high-energy employees is crucial for meaningful growth conversations.
How can managers effectively guide those eager for new projects that don't quite fit their current role or team's immediate needs?
Instead of jumping straight to solutions, we encourage leaders to step back and ask: What's truly driving this interest? What are they hoping to learn or contribute?
These fundamental questions open the door to meaningful dialogue, signaling your investment in their professional growth, not just their output.
In this episode, you'll learn actionable strategies for these vital discussions, including:
When employees express a desire to grow, it's a compliment to your leadership. It means they trust you enough to share their goals. Our job isn't to say yes to everything; it's to help them grow in ways that strengthen both the individualand the team. This is our chance as people leaders to shape,not silence, employee ambition.

Are you empowering your team or just watching over their shoulder?
In our previous episode, we explored why employees may meddle in others’ work, ranging from overconfidence and insecurity to poor leadership and cultural differences.
This week’s #AskHR episode, we’re drawing a clear line between leading with intention and micromanaging without realizing it. From unclear roles to low-trust cultures, we break down how leadership gaps create confusion, frustration, and workplace interference and how to shift toward true empowerment.
What Leadership Gaps Might Look Like
As leaders we might think we're helping. In many ways we are, but we can also be getting in the way without realizing it.
We’re also sharing actionable tools to help you lead and manage, not monitor while leaning on your HR leadership team for support. We discussed how to encourage collaboration without taking over, and how to remind employees that good intentions need good timing and sometimes, permission, in an empowering way.
Our Key Takeaways
As shared in our last episode, encourage ownership by letting go.

Why do some employees get coached while others getpunished for the same mistake?
In this week’s episode of #AskHR, our question is: Why the double standard in workplace discipline? It’s a topic many experience but few want to admit.
We’ll talk through:
• Why unequal discipline happens
• The hidden biases and blind spots in enforcement
• What fair and consistent accountability should look like
• How employees can speak up without fear
From favoritism to fear-based decisions and HR blind spots, we’re calling out the uncomfortable truths behind inconsistent practices.
Whether you're an employee navigating unclear consequences or someone who's witnessed the double standard firsthand, this episode gives you tools, perspective, and language to advocate for fairness that doesn't depend on your title.
Fairness is a leadership standard. And every voice, including yours, deserves it.
