About The HR Lady
AUTHENTIC & TRANSPARENT
As your event speaker, Wendy is authentic and transparent - above all, she keeps it real. She listens and provides empathy, however, she is direct and there is never any sugar coating!
When Wendy says “Suck It Up, Buttercup”, this means you are about to hear all the facts, proposed solutions and possible consequences of your actions or inactions. Yes, this information may be emotionally painful to hear but in order to do the right thing we must look at every angle together.
There is never a hidden agenda. Her focus is your bottom line.
Wendy's business experience is real and was very painful to achieve. Her pain is your gain! Let's get to work and dare we say, we just might have some fun along the way. Enjoy the short book, it is straight-forward and humorous - which is exactly how she speaks.
