The guest for this episode is Kyle Warner who is a HR Generalist III, and has recently joined Samsung in Dallas, TX.
I met Kyle in the summer when we connected after his contract was coming to an end and he wanted support in finding a new role. As we spoke it quickly became apparent how Kyle stood out a someone who could be considered a ‘fixer’ or a ‘change enabler’. What I mean by that is he gave me example after example of how he had gone into a role, became aware of legacy issues and problems, and although they weren’t necessarily ‘his’ problems to fix, he appreciated that the whole HR function would operate more effectively and provide a better service is these problems were corrected. Therefore, that’s what he did…. he took matters into his own hands and resolved them.
Kyle would describe his own superpower as being someone who can create order from chaos and this is a perfect case study in how you can be someone who turns up 9-5 and just wants a job, or you can be someone who creates a strong personal brand and is recognised for constantly going above beyond and exceeding expectations. The benefit of the latter is that your stakeholders appreciate you more and the results you deliver.
Kyle attitude and approach to work is a benchmark for anyone at the early stages of their HR career and wants to know how to get their career moving forward. I hope you enjoy listening.
