Two years, countless experiments, plenty of wins, learnings and f*ck-ups… and the best part? You’ve been right here with me. Thank you 🤗

But I’d love to know:
What about this newsletter makes it worth reading for you? |
📣 Birthday shoutouts
Some of you send me emails that fuel me more than coffee. I’ll share 3 that gave me energy this year.
Omg JooBee, loving the podcast version! The AI blew my mind I must admit. Thanks for the newsletter. Loved the framework to establish critical roles. Your succession planning framework has helped me to identify that it’s not just about the people, it’s the role.
Need to reread this (over and over) but wanted to say how much I love what you write. [I did this as a Senior BP, but I’ve never seen it explained so clearly.] The specifics are important, as opposed to broad brush statements. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Thank you.
Loved this 4 Fs piece JooBee! And perfect timing, shared immediately with my managers saying "lets not fear the feelings"
♊ Birthday fun fact
Last year, I found out a reader shares the same birthday as the newsletter. Happy birthday, Carol Paddison! 🥳 Anyone else?
🌠 Birthday wish
Blowing out the candle, here’s my wish for the year ahead:
For me: to keep experimenting boldly, sharing the wins, learnings and f*ck-ups with you as I go.
For you: to step beyond the HR lane and lead with commercial clarity, confidence and impact.
For STEP UP: to become the place where HR leaders grow into business leaders, together.
This is not just a birthday, it’s our shared milestone.
So let’s celebrate 🎉— card wall, gift bag, poll or just a cheeky LinkedIn toast.
With love, Joobs 💛
