Karyn’s Perspective

3 Questions

What sort of disruption has happened in your career that has spurred personal and professional growth?

I became a remote worker early in my career, before it was common. This forced me to figure out how to show up strong without being physically present. Remote work is possible and valuable, and I had to learn early on how to be purposeful in virtual interactions, while embracing new technology.

What does human agility mean to you?

The ability to push forward, to be comfortable pursuing new and exciting challenges; to persevere, even if the next step isn't fully clear.

What excites you the most when you think about the future of work?

The future of work, and truly one of today's most critical business topics, is centered around the workforce and delivering human capital differently. HR leaders have the opportunity and obligation to demonstrate what this can look like, making this the most exciting time to be in the people business.
