The Great Resignation? Hardly.

11/02/21 • 45 min

2020. A true generational occurrence. Companies were locked down. Employees were sent home. Businesses and jobs were now being defined as "essential" or "non-essential." Government over-reach continued lockdowns and restrictions even today, killing thousands of small businesses and greatly damaging thousands more. What I'm saying is this - while this may have very well been on the employers pre-2020, asking companies to pivot and adjust constantly at the whim of a heavy-hand in DC is an almost impossible task.

Agree to disagree? Ok, but give this a listen and let me know if your perspective changes a skosh. Plus the bonus of hearing the sultry tones of the Redhead, worth the listen just for that.

Side Hustlin' with Jen Hope

It doesn't happen all at once. Instead, one day you wake up and realize that you have accumulated quite a few additional commitments in your professional life. It seems contrary to the narrative of an over-whelmed and sometimes burned out workforce, but there are many people (me included) who aren't thriving if they aren't juggling chainsaws.

Meet Jen Hope, a Business and Executive Leadership Coach who leans on more than 20 years of executive experience, business acumen, and empathy to create a safe coaching environment where leaders can grow and thrive. She's also a mentor for start-ups as part of "First Round Fast Track" and provides consulting and coaching support via ORCA HR Solutions. Oh, and a fitness instructor. And Mom. And speaker.

You get it, this is a busy lady.

How about you? Did this bizarre 18 month period allow you to pursue any outside passions, ideas, or initiatives that you may not have done before? For me, I learned to podcast! Imagine a world where HR Hardball, The Podcast ~ that's just not a world we want to live in. There are many "pandemic entrepreneurs" who have done likewise in 2020 or 2021. Jen has had this kind of existence for a decade, so what can we learn from her balancing act?

Get your ears listening to Season 2, Episode 21 and learn more about side hustlin' with Jen Hope.

Quality Time with Darrian Mikell

Entrepreneur, long-jumper, dad, husband, mentor and mentee. Get your ears on and listen to my interview with Darrian Mikell, CEO and co-founder of Qualifi.

Anyone with an entrepreneurial background can relate to the hard work, commitment and risk involved with striking out on your own. Add to the mix three kids and a wife in nursing school and it's fair to think Darrian may have taken on more than is wise to manage, but some people thrive in the chaos while still looking pretty calm on the exterior.

With the increased pressure on those in Talent Acquisition to find a limited supply of talent in a market that is actively rewarding the unemployed to remain that way, you need every advantage you can get. Qualifi takes an organizational concept like Calendly and places the onus on the candidate to complete the interview process virtually without the back & forth scheduling gamut recruiters are constantly faced with.

Let's do this Hardballers.
