    Sep 24 2026
    HR professionals are often expected to be the steady hand during an organization’s most difficult moments but who is taking care of HR? In this episode of By HR for HR, Jocelyn King sits down with Sira Laurel, founder of North of Normal, to explore the intersection of HR, neuroscience, self-care, and organizational change. Sira shares how HR professionals can recognize the early warning signs of stress and burnout, build greater self-awareness, and protect their capacity to make sound decisions under pressure. The conversation also dives into HR’s critical role in mergers and acquisitions, from defining responsibilities and conducting people-focused due diligence to identifying key-person and cultural risks. Sira explains why communication, clarity, and inclusion are essential during times of uncertainty, and why HR’s value extends far beyond executing a people checklist. Most importantly, Sira leaves HR professionals with a powerful reminder: you are part of the system you are trying to support. Taking care of your own nervous system isn’t just self-care, it directly impacts your judgment, ability to spot risk, and capacity to help others navigate change. Learn more about your ad choices.
