I'm excited to have my best friend Susan Chen on our podcast this week.  Susan is an HR expert, who recently started her own business.

Susan shared her 20-year journey in HR, from studying Organizational Studies to working globally and seeing HR evolve into a strategic function. She discussed her transition from multinational corporations to startups, driven by her desire to make a bigger impact.

We explored what HR really means, with Susan describing it as "impactful ecosystem building" within organisations. We also focused on fractional management, particularly fractional HR, which allows organisations to access specialised talent flexibly.

Susan offered advice for working parents on time management and shared her vision for her company's future, centred on creating impact at scale.

It was great having Susan on the show, and I look forward to future conversations about her adventures. Thanks for listening!
