WORKING IN HR JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT EASIER...

YOU'RE JUST SECONDS AWAY FROM THE ESSENTIAL SUPPORT, DEVELOPMENT AND CONNECTION YOU NEED TO HAVE SUSTAINABLE IMPACT AS A WOMAN IN HR.

STOP ME IF ANY OF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR...

You're ambitious and committed to your career in HR, but you've started to wonder if you can carry on at this pace. Maybe a job in retail would be easier?

You take your work seriously, but not yourself, and you're increasingly feeling restricted and pigeon holed because you're 'HR'

You never have time for the things you love to do, there's just always so much on the to do list

You're full to the brim with ideas and new ways of working, but you never seem to get the buy in to take things forward 

Deeply caring in the way you do is affecting your down time, in fact you're not even sure how to switch off from work anymore

You recognise your confidence holds you back, and you want to feel as successful on the inside as your job title or outward persona would imply

Working in HR feels like a battle and you're fed up feeling like you have to fight all the time

You're ready to accept more fun, celebration and enjoyment into your life because you're #NotLikeNormalHR. Who said HR can't be fun?

If it does, then you are fully aware of how challenging it can actually be to work in HR, and how very little support there is for us within our role. 

That's what inspired me to build this place.

I was fed up with hearing stories about incredible women in HR, just like you, feeling stuck and losing confidence in themselves and their abilities thanks to: 

  • A woeful lack of support to deal with the realities of our work
  • Misconceptions about our role and our profession
  • Unwillingness to invest in us because we "don't contribute to the bottom line"
  • Our skills and innate abilities to connect and support with people being downplayed because it's "too fluffy", "not commercial" or "strategic enough"
  • Believing that we have to always be available for everyone else, prioritising their needs over our own all the time
  • The perception that somehow, just because we're HR, we don't have the right to be ourselves and have fun!

Thankfully, all of that is behind you now...

INTRODUCING THE HR CLUB

The Club is the leading community for women who are ready to have their biggest impact in HR.

It's packed with in-depth, practical training and resources on being the incredible HR professional you already are, but in a sustainable way.

PLUS direct access to my expertise and the community support you need to ensure you never feel isolated in your role again. 

THE HR CLUB WILL HELP YOU TO:

Overcome self-doubt and take brave action in your career because you're not waiting for other people to see your value anymore

Protect your mental, emotional and physical energy so that you have the capacity for the things you really love

Find 'your' people and fill your network with other HR pros who understand what it's like in your world

Build your toolkit as a human, resourced, and know that everything you learn will have practical relevance in your day to day work

Tap into the collective knowledge and experience of a community of other women in HR, cheerleading you every day

Embrace yourself fully, even the bits you've been made to believe need to be fixed in order to succeed

What makes the Club different?

  • No question is a silly question, which means you don't have to worry about being judged or getting things wrong
  • Our Clubbers come first, so whatever you want, we'll do our best to deliver! 
  • We operate on an 'inside out' basis which means our focus is not on how you do HR for other people, it's on supporting you as an individual
  • We come as we are, and encourage you to do the same - we're only interested in the person behind the job title
  • We're #NotLikeNormalHR, which means we don't take ourselves seriously and we have fun! 

Meet our Chief Clubber

I'm Emma and from here on in you can refer to me as your personal cheerleader.

After a career in HR spanning over 18 years both in-house and as a consultant, I know all too well the highs and the lows of being in the people profession.  

My career progressed at pace until a bullying manager killed my confidence and shifted my view of work, and of myself. Since then I've delved deep into my personal development journey, found my purpose and rebuilt my confidence to deliver it.  

I truly believe that enabling you to have a different experience of being in HR is the key to changing everyone's experience of work.  

At the moment I know you're prioritising everyone else's needs because you care so much about what you do and the impact you're having. Eventually (and speaking from experience here), this actually dulls your impact whether through frustration or a disconnect with who, and just how awesome, you really are.

I see you, you fabulous rebel. I know you're not like 'normal HR' and I know you’re ready you’re ready to make your biggest impact in a sustainable way.  

I also know it’s possible, and I make it my business to help you do just that, all the while living your life with less guilt, less internal back chat and more time for the things you love.

"I was lonely but was lucky enough to find this group early in my move into HR, so although the day to day as a standalone can be lonely, I know this group will always have my back."

Sarah
"You've all opened up my world so much, I never realised what a lonely soul I was. You'll never know the difference it's made, feeling that I belong. "


Adele
"Through the facilitation of much needed connection to other women in my profession, I found the strength to overcome challenges, value myself again, find my voice and speak my truth."

Frequently Asked Questions

It's time for you to take action. Simple as that. If you really want to start making a change to the way you're working then you need somewhere to get the support, development, connection and, most of all, accountability that you need. The HR Club is that place. If you really want to make a difference, the time is now.  

Absolutely. I have a 5 year old daughter and I won't be compromising on her bedtimes, not regularly anyway. It may be that some events are in the evening, some are in the day, but we have aimed to find something that works for most if not all of us. I also intend for all the learning sessions to be recorded and accessible on demand. 

Honestly, it largely depends what you want from a membership. I'll be upfront in saying I don't intend for this to be a 'technical' membership where we have lots of templates / advice for different aspects of the employee life cycle. That being said, I can see how there would be scope for a technical stream of some kind at some point, perhaps (I'll be guided at all times by what is useful for the members). The ethos of this membership will be 'HR' (that's you!) first. So, how does a woman in HR best deal with the challenges that the profession throws at her. For me, this looks like sessions on communicating with impact, influence, focusing on what we can control, boundaries, energy management etc., all wrapped up with a wellbeing focus. The wellbeing focus might be regular mindfulness classes, or virtual pilates classes as examples, and I see guest experts in the wellbeing space coming in to share their wisdom without the 'HR needs to...' tinge that we're used to. Add the cherry on the cake that is the community aspect, and away we go! 

I have a view that the leadership paradigm that we're operating in is due for a change. This is my perception based on my lived experiences. I think the leadership paradigm will shift when there are more women in leadership positions operating in their most powerful way. I want to see more women reach the highest positions within the profession, without having to compromise themselves or what's important to them, pushing an agenda which is more inclusive and transformational so that my daughter never feels she has to change in order to succeed in a system that wasn't created for her to. My skill set and passion are both aligned with supporting the unique challenges that women face at work, which is why the membership is for women only. I'd respectfully and wholeheartedly recommend anyone who thinks this is a load of rubbish to read Michelle P King's book 'The Fix - Overcome the Invisible Barriers That Are Holding Women Back at Work' to provide an alternative perspective.  

It's funny, because I ask myself that all the time! Honestly, I'm just a woman who's worked in HR her whole career, hoping to give back to the profession that I believe has the potential to change the world of work. I've experienced the highs and lows of working in HR and along the way I've built up some techniques, knowledge and mindset hacks to separate my identity from my role. I've been bullied without anyone to talk to because, well who do you talk to when you're HR? I've seen discrimination first hand. I've experienced the emotional toll of not agreeing with a decision and having to do it anyway. I get it. I've also walked my path out of it - not HR per se, but out of the emotional attachment to things that are outside of my control. I think this is accessible to everyone, and I want to share my learnings so that we can all do an amazing job AND have a fulfilling life outside of it. Really, I'm just someone who's got fed up with being set up to fail and decided to do something about it. If you're interested in my background though, along with my nearly 20 year career in HR (OMG), I'm a Brain and Behaviour Change Practitioner, I have a certificate in Applied Neuroscience and I'm a One of many ® Certified Women's Coach. 

There is plenty available within The HR Club to get you the outcomes you're seeking - no more feeling like you're on your own, less feeling like there aren't enough hours in the day, more confidence to have your biggest impact. It's all here. But unless you actually access it, i.e. come on in and take part, well you know nothing's going to change, right? We recommend setting an intention each month for what you'd most like to focus on, and booking in appointments with yourself to do just that. Small changes add up to big changes over time.

No, on the Standard plan there's no minimum membership period on the monthly option, so you can cancel anytime. Clearly, if you invest in the annual plan or the Pro plan, you'd be sticking around for 12 months (look at you going all in on your development - superstar). 

Sure! Subject to a call to check we're a good fit, you can do this at any point. 

Yes, of course! The best thing to do is to get in touch with me on emma@beunstoppable.uk to chat it through. 

We're not currently offering a trial, however if you want a behind the scenes look, get in touch with us on emma@beunstoppable.uk to book in a tour.
