Why HR has 'always transcended' policies and compliance

I grew up in an environment where giving anything less than 100% simply wasn’t an option.

My dad and his brother were competitive swimmers throughout their youth, pushed hard by my grandfather, who never let them coast. My uncle went on to join the Tokyo Olympic Swimming Team - a legacy that had me in the pool before I could walk. That early exposure to discipline – the drive to give everything my best - shaped how I show up for everything and become a part of who I am.
