In this episode, Roger Jorns interviews Mindy Honcoop, an HR strategist with over 25 years of experience ranging from Microsoft to startups. Mindy shares her unique journey from social work to corporate HR, revealing how the skills she learned working with juvenile offenders translate directly to modern Agile project management.

We discuss the critical difference between "transactional HR" (payroll and benefits) and "strategic HR" that aligns people with business goals.

Mindy also opens up about her personal leap of faith—putting on a "squirrel suit" to jump into the world of fractional advising—and the creation of the "Alt HR Hive," a community where leaders can be vulnerable and grow together.

If you are a business leader wondering why your team feels disconnected from your strategy, this episode offers a human-first roadmap to fix it.
