In this episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Katie Dykstra, an absolute powerhouse in the world of Human Resources! Katie shares her incredible journey of over 18 years in HR, culminating in her own thriving business focused on executive coaching, leadership development, and HR consulting. We delved deep into some eye-opening topics: Letting go of control, the importance of communication, work-life integration, emotional intelligence and so much more! Don't skip over this one.
Meet my guest Katie Dykstra, with over 17 years of experience in HR, a master's degree in Human Resources Management, and certifications in executive coaching and diversity, Katie is a true expert in her field. When she's not revolutionizing HR or teaching master HR courses at Valpo University, she's giving back as President of the Northern Illinois Human Resource Council and volunteering with veteran-focused organizations. And let's not forget her favorite pastime—spending quality time with her husband and two kids, exploring the great outdoors!
