Let's Sound Off With Kim Blue - HR as a Strategic Partner
Aug 11, 2024
In this episode of HR Sound Off, I'm thrilled to welcome Kim Blue, Chief Executive Officer at K Blue Consulting. Kim takes us through her inspiring HR journey, from her corporate beginnings to becoming an entrepreneur and a leader in Fractional HR. She shares valuable insights on how to articulate boundaries for better work/life integration and the importance of evolving as a strategic partner in HR.
Kim also gives us a peek into her favorite reads, including Atlas of the Heart, the Wall Street Journal, and Harvard Business Review. Plus, she offers special shoutouts to Minda Harts and Dr. Meisha-ann Martin, two thought leaders who continue to inspire her.
One of the highlights of our conversation is Kim's take on a common HR misconception—HR is often seen as the bottleneck in processes, but she’s excited about the evolution of the field. "pivot past the discord," Kim says, as she looks forward to the future of HR.
