Holiday Picks for HR Professionals!

I love reading and writing wish lists and the Holidays are prime for list content. Just for fun (and absolutely not sponsored), I dreamed up PCG's Holiday Picks for HR Professionals.

Live Your Values Deck by Lisa Congdon

This set of illustrated cards will help you identify the values that matter to you personally. I used them in a client workshop with a group of interns and turned it into a game. So many uses!

World's Okayest Coworker Ornament

We can't pick favorites, so this works well!

Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection In A Sometimes Lonely World by Vivek Murthy, MD., US Surgeon General

I spoke at a conference this year and highlighted some of Dr. Murthy's amazing work. The slide with his research prompted many of the attendees to take out their phones and snap a picture. While the information isn't specific to workplaces alone, the book is important for anyone that works in people-centered roles.

Seriously, why not be proud of it? You are charismatic! Endearing!

Subscription to Calm

The Calm app has a wide variety of guided meditations, soundscapes for sleep and relaxation, and stress reduction tips. But big workplace perk here is their guided breathing timer, which is just the thing to get you through those rough convos at the office.

Murder Your Employer: McMaster's Guide to Homicide by Rupert Holmes

More Harry Potter than reality (thank goodness), this humorous mystery series is a wild, ridiculous piece of escapism.
