I’m proud to teach this SHRM Talent Acquisition Specialty Credential for UNF Lifelong Learning. If you’re working in HR — or hoping to move into HR — talent acquisition is one of the most valuable skill sets you can build. This course goes beyond posting jobs and screening resumes. We talk strategy, candidate experience, compliance, and how hiring impacts long-term performance and culture. It’s a fantastic way to sharpen your skills and add a respected SHRM credential to your résumé.

From one HR pro to another! Today is the registration deadline for the SNVSHRM Certification Test Prep Study Group. In today’s HR market, experience alone isn’t always enough. Organizations are looking for HR professionals who can apply judgment, think strategically, and make confident, business-aligned decisions — especially when the stakes are high. That’s exactly what SHRM certification signals. Less than 20% of HR professionals hold a SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP. Earning one puts you in a smaller, recognized group of practitioners who have demonstrated: • Applied HR expertise • Ethical and strategic decision-making • Real-world problem-solving — not just test-taking If certification has been on your “I’ll get to it” list, this is your nudge that now is a smart time. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗡𝗩𝗦𝗛𝗥𝗠 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀: • Structured 13-week program (Feb 26 – May 27) • 18 months of access to the 2026 SHRM Learning System • SHRM-certified facilitators • On-demand access to recorded learning modules • Practical test-taking strategy & applied decision-making focus • A supportive peer cohort (because studying alone is hard) • Discounted SHRM exam pricing (up to 25% via chapter group purchase) Still comfortably within the May 1 – July 15 SHRM testing window If you’ve been on the fence, consider this your friendly final nudge.

I recently had the opportunity to join the OrgDesign Podcast live from the Organization Design Forum - Org Design Festival to what turned out to be the final recording of the event and one of my favorite professional conversations. If you know me, you know I love a good Podcast. And better yet, would welcome the opportunity to host my very own. Stay tuned on that. No matter what profession you are in or what industry you might find yourself working within, this 15-minute listen is worth your time. In our conversation, we took the time to go deep on key topics: ✅ My non-linear journey into organizational design. ✅ What it takes to lead change at scale ✅ Importance of employee listening - it shouldn't be optional, AND it's a strategic enabler. ✅ How rethinking structure can help any organization, big or small, achieve success. Organizational design is far more than just boxes and lines on a chart; it's about enabling leaders, engagement and collaboration. When design lags, transformation and engagement can stall. When design leads, it can accelerate almost anything. 🎧 If you are navigating simple or complex, scale or transformation, and wondering how to make org design a piece of your puzzle, take a listen. This episode is for you. 🎧 #orgdesign #orgdesignforum #HRleadership
