Death's Profound Impact on Work with Kim Hamer
Death of a loved one in an employees life, their grief effects your other employees. Help your people; help your bottom line.
Death counselor turned personal tragedy into a process to help your people move on from their personal grief to a functioning, healthy work staff and a healthier bottom line for your company.
On April 16, 2009, Kim Hamer witnessed her 44-year-old husband take his last breath. The outpouring of support from their coworkers, bosses, friends, and family during his illness and following his death left an indelible impression on her.
As an HR leader, Kim recognized death's profound impact on work. Leaders are ill-equipped to lead grieving teams, HR is not prepared to support leaders, and employees have no direct support in managing their own grief at work. All of this causes a negative impact on engagement, mental health, and a company’s revenue.
Using her personal and professional experience, Kim founded Workplace Grief, a wellness platform for leaders, HR, and employees. It’s a one-stop shop for grief in the workplace.
Kim is the author of "100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend Through Cancer or Loss," an invaluable must-have life guide offering practical tips to support employees or friends experiencing life’s little “hiccups.” As a captivating speaker, Kim’s stories empower audiences to navigate the complexities of life, fostering a culture of compassion and resilience in both personal and professional spheres.

Unraveling Clutter and Redefining Labor: An Interview with Dr. Regina Lark, Founder of A Clear Path
Embark on a captivating journey with Dr. Regina Lark, the visionary founder of A Clear Path, as she unveils her transformative approach to decluttering and redefining labor.
Dr. Regina Lark is the founder and owner A Clear Path: Professional Organizing and Productivity. Regina earned a Ph.D. in U.S. Women’s History from the University of Southern California then worked with the UCLA Women’s Studies program. In 2008 she left higher education to start A Clear Path.
Thought leader on the topic of women, emotional labor, and our brain. Emotional labor is the unnoticed, unwaged, unwritten work women do in the home and in the paid workforce. It includes everything from assuring socks match to coping with a pandemic, schooling, a job and family life all under one roof. Largely invisible, the mental load of emotional labor weighs heavily on the shoulders of women. Emotional labor is generally thought to be women’s work, whether at home or in the office, but it is actually not gender specific. It’s just, well, work! And for women with executive function challenges, the work becomes even more challenging.
Regina Lark, a feminist historian and Professional Organizer and brain-hacking entrepreneur, Regina speaks to the topic of Emotional labor as the unseen, unnoticed, unwaged, unwritten, unanticipated work women do. To help understand the overwhelm, Lark describes the historical journey of so-called “women’s work,” examining the connection between women, emotional labor in the home and the hard-wiring of our brain. She will talk about how emotional labor slams into executive function at home causing disorganization, clutter and other issues we as organizers commonly see. Lark offers solutions for creating a more equitable distribution of labor at home with dialogue and delegation.
She is a Professional Member of the National Speakers’ Association and speaks and trains on emotional labor, women's lives and history, women’s leadership, ADHD, and the power of positive thinking.
Regina is the author of 3 books: Emotional Labor: Why A Woman’s Work is Never Done and What to Do About It (2021); Psychic Debris, Crowded Closets: The Relationship between the Stuff in your Head and What's Under your Bed (2017); and Before the Big O: Professional Organizers Talk about Life Before Organizing (2013). And a recent article, “Interracial Marriage in Occupied Japan” in Women’s Experiences of the Second World War: Exile, Occupation, and Everyday Life (London: Boydell and Brewer, 2021),
Based in Los Angeles, Regina is the founder of A Clear Path and Speaking of Clutter. She is the author of two books: Emotional Labor: Why Women’s Work is Never Done and What to do About It -- and -- Psychic Debris, Crowded Closets: The Relationship Between the Stuff in Your Head and What’s Under Your Bed.
