Exploring Employee Development: Insights from World-class CHROs (ft. JP Elliott, PhD)

04/10/24 • 39 min

I almost want to say that JP Elliott walked so that L&D Unlocked could run, but that would be a mischaracterization. Don’t get me wrong, the previous statement is, for the most part, entirely true, except for one key element – JP isn’t walking, he’s sprinting, and we’re just trying to keep up.

A human resources executive with a resume spanning nearly three decades and listing such names as Taco Bell, IBM, Lenovo & DICK’s Sporting Goods, JP’s focus has recently shifted to educating the next generation of HR talent. And, as the host of the nationally recognized management podcast, the Future of HR, I’d say he’s doing pretty darn well in that mission.

Whether it’s the podcast’s 100,000 annual downloads or big-name guests such as Arizona Cardinals’ Chief People Officer, Sean Mayo, or the “Father of Modern HR,” Dr. Dave Ulrich, it’s undeniable that Elliott has asserted himself as a leading authority in the world of human resources. Be it sourced from his own career experience or the multitude of conversations he’s hosted with world-class CHROs, JP has a wealth of knowledge that our host, Chris Elliott (coincidentally no relation...), could not leave untapped.

Optimizing Employee & Leadership Development for Future Success (ft. David Hanrahan)

David Hanrahan, a seasoned HR professional and visionary leader, can boast a uniquely recognizable track record of renowned organizations throughout his career. Allow me to just name a few:

HR Manager for Universal Pictures
Director of Human Resources for Electronic Arts
Director of Human Resources for Twitter
Vice President of People at Zendesk
Vice President of People & Places at Niantic, Inc.
Chief Human Resources Officer at Eventbrite

Now serving as Chief People Officer at San Diego-based software development firm, Flare, it might not be so shocking to hear that his list of proficiencies is about 3x longer than the list above. With areas of expertise including hyper-growth hiring, scaling global orgs in async environments, DEI adoption and strategy and, maybe (definitely...) most important of all, Metallica, we here at L&D Unlocked count ourselves lucky David could spare some time to join us in-between his busy schedule of speaking events.

Joining our host, BizLibrary Chief Revenue Officer, Chris Elliot, David digs deep into episode topics such as:
