You didn’t get into the People profession to reset passwords or manually update org charts. You got into it to build culture, develop talent, and shape the future of your organization.

But if you look at your browser tabs right now, how many are open to spreadsheets?

In this episode, we dismantle The Admin Trap—the seductive "safe harbor" of busy work that keeps capable HR leaders stuck in the weeds. We explore the psychology behind "Productive Procrastination," why we often choose being a Concierge over being an Architect, and the hidden cost of "Organizational Debt."

Join host Misty as she lays out a ruthless, three-phase escape plan to reclaim your calendar.

You’ll learn:

• The Psychology of "Busy": Why administrative work gives us a dopamine hit, while strategy feels scary.
• Concierge vs. Architect: How to stop fixing problems for people and start building systems so they can fix them themselves.
• The AAA Framework: A step-by-step guide to Audit, Automate, and Anchor your time.
• The "Manager Reliance" Fix: Exact scripts to use when managers try to offload their leadership responsibilities onto you.

Stop letting the paperwork bury your potential. It’s time to close the tabs and start leading.

As the year winds down, HR professionals and organizational leaders are balancing benefits updates, compliance checklists, and all the year-end tasks that demand attention—but there’s a powerful opportunity often overlooked: reflection. In this episode, we explore why pausing to reflect on the past year isn’t a luxury—it’s a strategic advantage.

We’ll discuss how looking back helps you uncover patterns, pinpoint what worked, and use challenges as data—not failures. Then, we’ll walk through how to turn that reflection into a practical, priorities-first planning process that positions HR as a strategic partner to the organization. From aligning goals with business direction to building processes that streamline your workload, you'll learn how to plan with intention instead of simply adding more tasks.

You’ll also discover how to guide your leaders and employees into the new year with clarity and confidence through transparency, training, communication, and culture reinforcement. And finally, we’ll focus on your personal leadership reset—setting boundaries, building habits, and identifying growth opportunities that strengthen you at the center of it all.

If you’re ready to chart 2026 with purpose and confidence, this episode offers the clarity, encouragement, and direction you need to make it your strongest year yet. Tune in and start planning with impact.

The best leaders don’t just fix performance problems — they prevent them.

• What it means to lead proactively (and why it matters)
• Four leadership habits that naturally prevent underperformance
• How to spot early warning signs before they become major issues
