Episode Synopsis

John Bernanovich, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, author, and HR expert, challenges us to reframe how we talk about our full schedules during this deeply authentic conversation about purposeful living and transformational leadership. Drawing from his 25 years of entrepreneurial experience and his best-selling book "HR Like a Boss," John shares the pivotal mindset shifts that changed his approach to business and life. When he lost both parents in a compressed timeframe, he found himself questioning his purpose and ultimately discovered that true fulfillment comes from pouring into others rather than chasing sales or status. At its core, John's message is beautifully simple yet profound: what matters most isn't what we say or do, but how we make people feel. In a workplace often dominated by metrics and deadlines, creating environments where people feel valued, heard, and purposeful might be the most revolutionary leadership approach of all.Onsights from this episode:Reframing "busy" as a blessing when your schedule is filled with purposeful work and meaningful connectionsIntentionally building genuine connections in a digital world through personal outreach, handwritten notes, and scheduled relationship timePutting people before profit by teaching employees how to understand financial statements and giving them greater ownershipLeading with empathy by thanking people for sharing, truly listening, and offering presence rather than solutionsCreating psychological safety at work through meaningful recognition, clear values, and treating colleagues like familyTransforming workplace culture by focusing on how we make people feel, as this is what people truly rememberhttps://www.toddbertsch.com/podcast/episode-33-hr-like-a-boss-transforming-leadership-empowering-people-with-john-bernatovicz/Thanks for listening!
