My magic can't keep mopping up messes that are created by ridiculous decisions like this.\u201d    When HR Director Emma Djemil hit a moment of \u2018enough is enough\u2019 she knew it was time for her skills, energy, passions to be directed elsewhere.  Stuck cleaning up the messes of others, she knew it was time for a big change. In this episode, Emma talks about what it really takes to walk away from a toxic job, where to find the drive for something new, and why humour is such a powerful tool for getting through it all. Emma shares her honest story about leaving corporate life, how she discovered her own voice online, and what helped her put herself first.    Here are the highlights:   04:00 Emma\u2019s \u201cclosing door\u201d moment \u2013 when enough was enough  08:10 From rage to purpose: the real reasons that ignite career change    17:25 The myth of imposter syndrome  24:30 Why your uniqueness is your superpower   26:04 Not everyone has to be \u201cyour people\u201d (and why that\u2019s liberating)   33:00 Humour as resilience: using comedy to survive (and thrive)    The things that helped Emma navigate change:   Music: \u201cSalute\u201d by Little Mix (and some Erasure for that retro energy!)   Book: \u201cThe Fix: Overcome the Invisible Barriers That Are Holding Women Back at Work\u201d by Dr. Michelle King   One piece of advice:   \u201cBe willing to try and have faith you\u2019ll be okay, whatever the outcome. If it\u2019s not okay, it\u2019s not the end.\u201d   About Emma:    As the Founder of The HR Club (a no-BS community of over 100 women) and creator of The HR Big Meet (an annual conference that actually focuses on women\u2019s wellbeing instead of just adding \u201cresilience\u201d to their to-do list), Emma is on a mission to make work suck less.   She could tell you about her 18 years in HR, her Certificate in Applied Neuroscience, or her accreditation as a Brain and Behaviour Change Practitioner, all of which are very serious and important. But what really matters is this: Emma helps women in leadership be sustainably unstoppable, so they can have maximum impact without burning out, selling their souls, or crying in the office toilets (we\u2019ve all been there).   Slightly sweary, highly sarcastic, and allergic to corporate nonsense, Emma believes that no one should feel like they have to put on a \u201cwork version\u201d of themselves to be taken seriously. Because the real you, the one who sings in the car, laughs at inappropriate moments, and maybe drops the occasional F-bomb, is exactly the leader the world needs.   She lives in Chartham, Kent, with her husband and their seven-year-old daughter, who reminds her daily that joy isn\u2019t something you schedule, it\u2019s something you demand, preferably while wearing a tiara.   Connect with Emma:   LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com\/in\/emmadjemil   Find out more: beunstoppable.uk     About your host Eleanor Tweddell:   Eleanor supports individuals, teams and organisations through change.
