Welcome to ICYMI, the monthly resource for HR and L&D Executives. If you can't quite keep up with my daily posts (it's a lot, I know), then this is the cheat sheet for everything you missed... and a little something extra for subscribing!
Last Month's Top Professional Articles
Once again, McKinsey & Company lead the way last month with their report, "Some employees are destroying value. Others are building it. Do you know the difference?" This study outlines the six employee archetypes (from "quitters to "thriving stars") and the key drivers that lead to disengagement.
The exciting news... They find that organizations can capture nearly two-thirds of lost enterprise value associated with disengagement by prioritizing six key employee factors. Spoiler Alert: "Lack of career development and advancement" is one of them!
Check out the link below along with three other articles that best reasoned with you in January!

??So proud to share this milestone! Last January, I committed to running one extra mile in each month throughout the year - something that seemed daunting at the time.13 months later, I’m proud to announce that completed my very first half marathon, the PNC Charleston Half Marathon alongside Jillian Elliott, MBA . So excited to carry this momentum forward into 2024! More on that to come soon...
Finally... It's hard to believe, but last month marked THREE YEARS at BizLibrary. It's been an incredible journey and one full of "growth." From revenue growth, to operational growth, to personal growth.

Continual learning is the key to unlocking potential in HR and L&D. As Socrates once conveyed, wisdom begins in wonder. Let's inspire each other to seek more, learn more, and be more. ?? #Leadership #GrowthMindset
Absolutely adore your approach to keeping everyone in the loop and inspired! Remember what Elton John said - Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours. ? It’s the same with learning and growth; they transport us to new heights. Keep rocking 2024! ?? #Inspiration #GrowthMindset #EltonInspiration
