Podcast Guests Wanted: Real HR Leaders (No Fluff, No Vendors)
Suggested angles
Share a specific decision you made as an HR leader that initially seemed right but required a public correction—and what you learned about transparency with your workforce that Purple Acorn's audience of practitioners would recognize
Walk through how you've handled a recent policy reversal or culture shift in real-time, including the messy middle where employees were confused—the kind of behind-the-scenes narrative vendors won't discuss
Discuss a metric or KPI you relied on early in your HR career that you now actively ignore or actively work against, and why the Purple Acorn audience needs to hear why best practices sometimes create worse outcomes
Position yourself as someone willing to name a specific HR assumption you've abandoned, since Purple Acorn explicitly rejects vendor narratives and wants practitioners sharing real leadership friction.
