About this episode

On this week's episode of HR Sound Off, I interview the amazing Cassidy Edwards, the Director of People Operations at Tradeblock.

Cassidy shares her HR origin story and offers valuable insights into her journey and experiences in the field.

In our conversation, Cassidy discusses the importance of radical rest and shares tips on how to deal with a toxic boss. She emphasizes the need for HR professionals to prioritize self-care and not carry trauma from one organization into another.

We talk a bit about sneaker culture and some of our favorite kicks. Check out our fangirl moment on two of our favorite people, Hebba Youssef and Anessa Fike.

My favorite quote from Cassidy is, "HR professionals are not passive participants in business strategy; we are active engineers of it."
