    The #1 Reason HR Feels Powerless (And How to Fix It)
    Aug 11 2025

    HR isn’t powerless by accident... it’s powerless by design.
    In this first episode of Let’s Be Real: Reframing Leadership, Reclaiming HR, Chase Niceley breaks down why so many HR professionals feel stripped of authority, and how to reclaim it without waiting for permission that may never come.

    From the “peacekeeper trap” to the misuse of policy, and from weak leadership to being treated like a clean-up crew, Chase calls out the systemic issues that keep HR reactive, compliant, and quiet. She shares real-world stories, exposes the illusions of influence, and offers three practical ways to take your power back using the REAL Method: Resonance, Empowerment, Agency, and Leverage.

    If you’ve ever been frustrated by being sidelined, silenced, or used as a scapegoat, this is your blueprint to leading boldly, owning your authority, and reshaping how HR shows up in the room.
