Your Next Great Hire May Already Work with You: The Case for “Skillspotting”
Episode Blurb: Your next top hire may just be someone already on your team or your colleague from another department. You just haven't spotted them yet. Tigran Sloyan, co-founder and CEO of agentic skills intelligence platform CodeSignal, makes the case for "skillspotting" — a term he coined for seeing what people can actually do, not what their job titles and resumes suggest. Explore the real cost of overlooking skills, from failed hires and mismatched project teams to cultures where power dynamics outrank proficiency. This episode dives into how AI is reshaping the tasks behind every role, changing which skills matter most, and making skillspotting possible at scale.

Dear Hiring Manager: Is the Cover Letter Dead?
Episode Blurb: Generative AI can spin up a polished cover letter in seconds, so what are employers still using it to screen for? Kat Kibben, founder and CEO of Three Ears Media, unpacks why the cover letter isn't really dead — it's just misunderstood. Diving into their personal experience working with recruiters in various industries, Kibben shares how better job postings, structured interviews, and skills-first scorecards help employers cut bias at the top of the funnel, define what "good" candidate actually means, and make hiring decisions grounded in evidence instead of gut instinct.

Promoted but Unprepared: How AI Coaching Is Helping New Leaders
Episode Blurb: New leaders often check every box: training, workshops, and even a coach. Yet many still feel unprepared for the moment real decisions land on their desk. Alex Marcus and Jamie Albers, co-CEOs and co-founders of Mento, a member of SHRM’s 2026 WorkplaceTech Accelerator cohort, explain why traditional coaching models are hitting a wall — and how pairing certified coaches with AI-powered insights closes the gap between mindset work and measurable business impact. They break down their 80/20 coaching philosophy, share where AI strengthens the human connection instead of replacing it, and flag exactly where organizations need to move carefully.

Recalibrate, Don't Retreat: The New Rules of Inclusion and Diversity at Work
Good intentions are no longer enough when it comes to supporting inclusion & diversity in your organization. In this new era shaped by shifting enforcement and rising incivility, the leaders who thrive treat I&D like any other core business process — measured, documented, and built to last. Carolynn Johnson, president of SHRM's Center for I&D and acting CEO of SHRM Linkage, brings clarity to a topic buried in confusion. She explains what's really changing with I&D at the federal level, why the laws themselves haven’t moved, and how HR can respond with confidence instead of fear.

Fixer Fatigue: Why Solving Everything Yourself Is Wearing You Out
Being the go-to problem solver might feel like strong leadership — until it quietly burns you out and stalls your team's growth. Middle managers especially feel this pressure, expected to be available, adaptable, and ready with an answer. But that always-on approach comes at a cost. Julie Armstrong, founder of 3H Leadership Consulting, and Leah Marone, a mental wellness expert, unpack "fixer fatigue," middle manager exhaustion, and why an open-door policy can backfire on everyone. In this episode, you'll learn how to set boundaries without pulling back from your team, spot the signs your limits are too thin, and ultimately make the critical mindset shift to: Support, Don't Solve.

How to Keep Climbing the Career Ladder in the Age of AI
The career ladder used to be a straight climb. You build skills, get hired, get promoted, and repeat. Then AI reshaped the ladder itself — and the path forward is no longer clear. This episode welcomes a panel of three experts to discuss this topic: Prudence Pitter from PEARRM Services, John Arms from Voyageur University, and Yogi Mueller from Craft Leadership LLC. Together, they discuss how psychological safety drives real AI adoption, the early warning signs that career paths are quietly compressing inside your organization, and the driving forces behind a decline in workplace mentorship. Learn ways to build a genuine mentorship culture, an honest script for discussing growth when promotions aren't guaranteed, and a business case for psychological safety that speaks the language of the C-suite.

Your Brain on Feedback: The Science of Belonging at Work
We call feedback a gift, yet our brains often experience it as a threat. That disconnect shapes who grows, who disengages, and who quietly gets managed out. And how does this impact people with invisible disabilities such as neurodiversity? Ama Agyapong, principal training strategist and CEO of Inclusion Enterprises, and Beth Sirull, president and CEO of the National Organization on Disability, unpack the neuroscience behind feedback and belonging — and why some conversations spark growth while others trigger defensiveness. This episode digs into the subtle, everyday bias that filters who receives developmental feedback, why it’s important for leaders to admit when they make mistakes, and the one change managers can make today to move the needle. Shortened Blurb (for newsletter): Why does feedback feel like a threat, and who pays the price? Ama Agyapong, CEO of Inclusion Enterprises, and Beth Sirull, president and CEO of the National Organization on Disability, explore the neuroscience of feedback, the subtle bias that shapes who gets developed and who gets managed out, and how to create a safe space for people with invisible disabilities. Learn the one change managers can make today to turn feedback into belonging.
