Buzzbytes is part of JooBee’s newsletter. Think of it as the bonus track🎶: a break from the usual format with behind-the-scenes updates, reflections and the occasional fun extra.

If I could give you one thing this March... (you choose)

1️⃣ JooBee’s pocket ebook: Your cheat sheet to sound strategic & commercial
2️⃣ JooBee’s BeeBot: Your quick answers from my content library when you’re stuck
3️⃣ Career coaching with JooBee: Your personalised advice to unlock your next move

What would you love most? Cast your vote:

I genuinely want to give you the thing that feels most valuable to you

Why this? Why now?

My BHAG (big hair audacious goal) this year is:

❝

Help 6,000 HR leaders think commercially and act strategically.

And honestly...the best way to do that is with you.

Many of you already recommend my newsletter to friends, founders, and fellow HR leaders. I see the quiet referrals. I hear "My colleague sent me this!" all the time.

So I thought…what if we made this official? What if we went a little ambitious...together? 🙌

Here's a crazy thought…

Let's get to 6,000 readers together by March 31 🎯

Is it a big number? Yes. Is it absolutely possible? Also, yes. All we need is…

❝

One reader, one recommendation.

Because if each of you recommends the newsletter to just one person who would genuinely benefit... we get there. (And if more than one? Even better!)

🎁 If by Mar 31 we hit 6,000 readers together…

EVERYONE who makes at least one successful referral will win the MOST-voted gift:

1️⃣ JooBee’s pocket ebook: Your cheat sheet to sound strategic & commercial, or
2️⃣ JooBee’s BeeBot: Your quick answers from my content library when you’re stuck, or
3️⃣ Career coaching with JooBee: Top 3 referrers get coaching (everyone gets a real-life video of how I positioned HR to the business when I was a CPeO).

🚨 Use your personal referral link

That's the only way I can track your referral and send your reward. When your friend subscribes through your link, it counts. As simple as that.

This is a global challenge...so, what do you say?

One reader, one recommendation…and we double the number of HR leaders who think commercially, act strategically, and stop burying themselves in operational chaos.

I'd love to build this with you. 🎯 One shared goal. 🎁 One big thank you.

With gratitude,
💛JooBee

PS: Already thinking "I'll do this later"? Just grab your link now and send it before you close this email.
