Send us a text

Cece's back from maternity leave and she's sharing all the highs and lows of transitioning back to the office while leaving her little one at home. Hear her heartfelt stories about reconnecting with colleagues, the bittersweet moments of motherhood, and the unexpected project challenges her team had to juggle in her absence. Warren is also diving into a new chapter of his life, embarking on a grad school journey after 30 years. Listen to his candid tales of adapting to online education and the surprising advice he received to take a human resource management class, despite his extensive background in the field.

Are you trying to make a career leap from education HR to the corporate sector? We've got you covered. Tune in as we discuss the ins and outs of leveraging local SHRM chapters for networking, demonstrating your business acumen, and making the most of remote job opportunities. We share our insights on the value of professional communities in large cities and how engaging with them can pave the way for a successful career transition. Whether you're in Dallas or another metro area, you'll find practical advice to help you navigate your next steps.

The HR landscape is ever-changing, and we're digging deep into SHRM's recent decision to shift from IE&D to I&D. This move has sparked a variety of reactions within the HR community, and we're breaking down the potential impacts on inclusion and equity. Join us for a thoughtful discussion on whether this change prioritizes the right issues and how it might affect marginalized groups. We'll also touch on the broader implications for DEI programs and share our own experiences with professional organizations, the nuances of networking etiquette, and the generational differences in engaging with HR events.
