This week, host Bernie Borges speaks with Chief People Officer Shamayne Braman, a fellow speaker at the upcoming HR Wellness and Executive Summit. They explore what it really means to experience career fulfillment, moving beyond titles, compensation, and prestige.

Here are three powerful takeaways from their conversation:

1️⃣ Redefining Failure and Building Resilience

Early in her career, Shamayne joined Teach for America expecting to connect effortlessly with her students. Instead, she faced unexpected rejection, an experience that tested her assumptions and pushed her to build trust through humility, grit, and self-awareness. These early lessons became a foundation for her leadership journey across industries.

2️⃣ Leading with Genuine Care and Human Connection

Across roles in education, healthcare, retail, and tech, Shamayne’s leadership has been grounded in deep care for people. Whether supporting students or leading HR teams, she focuses on unlocking individual potential and closing the gap between where people are and where they can go.

3️⃣ Wellness as a Professional Advantage

Shamayne shares how her personal health and fitness practices, including mental well-being, fuel her performance as a leader. By prioritizing self-care, embracing stillness, and rejecting the stigma around mental health, she ensures she leads from a place of strength, clarity, and empathy.

One Main Takeaway:
Career fulfillment isn’t defined by what’s on your résumé. Through resilience, authentic relationships, and intentional self-care, we build a living legacy that’s felt in every interaction, not just remembered after we’re gone.

This episode is brought to you by the HR Leadership & Wellness Summit in Atlanta, GA, October 12-14.

This invite-only experience brings together senior HR professionals from companies like Warner Bros., Morgan Stanley, Paramount, and more for three days of transformative conversations, strategic networking, and actionable insights.
