    Great adds during a full day in HR
    I love thesehour long sessions. It helps me stay focused on current tasks and sets me up with tidbits of great HR advice throughout my work day! I also collect a small credit towards my SHRM certificate. Best of both worlds!

    Insightful show!
    I am a new HR Business Partner and have been quite overwhelmed by the HR world. This podcast has given me a confidence boost to learn my new job. Thank you, Mike! You’re so genuine and your guests are insightful. I look forward to each episode! Thank you for your great work!

  • Matt Zemon
    Surprisingly good
    HR doesn’t have to be boring and Mike Coffey proves it with this podcast.
  • maddielail
    Such a resource!
    I am still new in my HR career path and this podcast helps me learn and apply knowledge to my current role as an HR team of 1. I am working to study and take the PHR exam this year and this podcast has been such a great tool to have in my arsenal. I love listening and can’t wait until i can start getting credits for listening. Thanks for making this free resource available to new HR professionals such as myself who aren’t in a position yet to find a mentor or coach to help develop professionally.
  • Cortyberry
    Really enjoy this Podcast
    This Podcast is awesome! I stumbled upon it trying to find ways to earn credits for my PHR recertification. The information is clear, relatable, and relevant. I like that the episodes are about 30 minutes long and just audible as it makes them very consumable during a lunch break, house chores, driving, really anything and you don’t have to be attached to your computer! Lastly, did I mention there is no financial expense?! I mean what is not to like. I would listen to this podcast even if I wasn’t in need of credits - that’s just a bonus in my opinion. It’s also great content not just for HR professionals but any type of leader as well. Thank you for this content please keep it going!
  • Marta_99
    One of the best!
    I’ve been reviewing a LOT of HR material to earn credits to recertify my HR credential. Mike Coffey’s approach and relevant content from guests with practical experience and advice makes this podcast accessible and useful.

    Second Chance Employment
    This was an enlightening podcast. I enjoyed it so much that I listened twice! What a humbling story and certainly eye opening. Cheri thank you for your candid testimony!
  • 10secfwd
    Great, interesting podcast even for none HR people
    The second episode hooked me in. These are very profitable conversations among people with great knowledge and experience in their areas. I am not an HR professional, I am middle management in a none profit and even I can really benefit from this conversations. The topics of leadership and management are universal and practical. Very engaging host keep the conversations going and interacts really well with his guests. Go ahead and subscribe and listen.
