What does a classical vocalist turned HR leader have to teach us about people, culture, and business? More than you'd think. 🎶➡️💼

In this episode of the HR Engage Podcast, host Jonathan Mamaril sits down with Chantelle Williams — Head of People & Culture at LSKD, Australia's fast-growing athleisure brand — for one of the most refreshing and real conversations we've had on the podcast.

Chantelle's journey is anything but conventional. From music teacher to facilitator, L&D specialist to global HR leader — she's built a career by saying yes first and figuring it out after. And she's bringing that same bold energy to one of Australia's most exciting workplaces.

In this episode, we cover:
🎯 How Chantelle went from classical vocalist to Head of People & Culture
💡 Why HR must think commercially — not just culturally
🚀 The real challenges of scaling culture during hyper-growth
🧠 Mindset vs. generational differences in leadership
📋 Why more policies ≠ fewer problems
📚 Must-read book recommendations for HR and people leaders

Whether you're just starting out in HR or you've got decades under your belt, Chantelle's insights on authentic leadership, people strategy, and building culture at scale will leave you thinking differently about the work you do.
