The Key to Positivity: A Journey of Continuous Learning

by Natalie EllisLeave a Comment on The Key to Positivity: A Journey of Continuous Learning

I have been inspired to write this post after I recently read the books The Comfort Zone and The Key to Positivity by Kristen Butler. I found both books were incredibly inspiring, and when juggling running a business, managing a team, and all whilst trying to spend time with family and friends, it’s safe to say it is difficult to stay positive consistently when managing stress.

Managing stress is a subject I have studied for many years, not just as part of my CIPD studies, but when meeting the many different people I am fortunate to work with. I am always curious to find out what works for people, because the answers are never the same, from the variety of solutions available, it is interesting to learn from others on what works for them.

Why You Should Take That Leap…

by Natalie EllisLeave a Comment on Why You Should Take That Leap…

Happy New Year everyone, it has been a hot minute, but I’m back with lots of fresh content to share with you!

One thing that I am asked regularly is when should I take that leap of faith?

Have you ever felt at a crossroads with a big decision to make? Your heart racing, mind swirling with both excitement and doubt? We’ve all been there. Yet, some of the most rewarding journeys begin with that terrifying first step.

As my company, Rebox HR prepares to celebrate it’s 5th Birthday on 17th February, I have taken some time to reflect on some valuable lessons I’ve learnt along the way…

Hello! Long time no see…

by Natalie EllisLeave a Comment on Hello! Long time no see…

I know it has been a long time since I have done a personal HR blog but to be honest, I haven’t really felt like writing for a while now, but I wanted to thank everyone who has been missing my little HR blog and have been writing to me directly!

Since I launched my business Rebox HR in March 2020, it has been incredibly busy and my little business has gained so much momentum, I’m incredibly proud of how well it has done but it leaves me very little time to blog at the rate I used to! I am writing lots of new content both on here and on my business blog, so if you’re looking for the more of the legal HR stuff, make sure you pop over and give it a follow.

The main reason people contact me is to ask about their own HR careers and what they need to do to progress so as an idea, some of the main questions I am being asked are:

  • How do I get into an HR career?
  • How can I progress my career?
  • I’m stuck in my HR job, I want to do something else – help!
  • What CIPD qualification is right for me?
  • Is it worth upgrading my CIPD membership?

As I am now getting around 10-15 emails a week, I thought I would take an opportunity to meet some of you online to talk all things HR, my book Launch Your HR Career (grab your copy here!) and answer your burning questions!

On 7th September 2021, I am hosting an event online at 6:30pm – it would be great if you could join me, to book your ticket, grab yours here! Spaces are limited and on a first come first serve basis so make sure you don’t miss out.

I look forward to seeing some of you there!

Are you thinking New Year, new career?

by Natalie Ellis5 Comments on Are you thinking New Year, new career?

2020 has been a really strange year for all of us, but one of the benefits that has come from the year, has been the time to reflect and focus upon what are the most important things to us.

We swapped our boardrooms for kitchen tables, created home working spaces and got our head around Zoom really quickly! But for many people it has given them an opportunity to review their careers and development plans, for some, this may mean changing careers altogether.

Previously, HR was primarily seen as a processing department,  hiring and firing and keeping employee records up to date. Today, HR departments are much more dynamic, and have played a pivotal role in leading businesses through the most challenging climate which has never been experienced before.
