Celebrating 15 Years of Love, Resilience, and Growth: Lessons from Marriage and HR Transformation

This year, I’m celebrating a personal milestone—15 years of marriage with Bruno. Reflecting on the past decade and a half, I see many parallels between the dynamics of marriage and the world of HR and organizational transformation. Both demand resilience, emotional intelligence, and a constant willingness to grow and adapt. But as I celebrate this milestone, I’m also reminded that many relationships, whether personal or professional, don’t always endure the journey. 

Recent data shows that 35-50% of first marriages in the U.S. end in divorce, with the average length of these marriages around 13 years. Common reasons include lack of commitment, ongoing conflicts, and financial stress—issues that also plague organizations when they neglect effective communication and adaptability. 

Similarly, small businesses in the U.S. face comparable challenges. A significant number of them fail within their first 10 years due to internal mismanagement. A 2023 study by LinkedIn and Glassdoor highlighted that companies with weak HR practices—those that lack innovation, emotional intelligence, and a solid organizational culture—often struggle to retain talent and close their doors before they can reach their full potential (source: Census.gov).
