On the Up and UpCandid Conversations About HR, Entrepreneurship, Team Development, Leadership, and Author: Kira La Forgia
We spend almost 100,000 hours of our lives working (probably more like 200,000 for entrepreneurs, lets be honest). What if work didnt have to suck? What if it can be fun? On the Up and Up podcast challenges the status quo of the boring workplace, and teaches leaders how to use HR, legal, and ethics to boost the fun factor of your business. Welcome to the show! Every week, we talk about the real reality behind leadership and management. Not the buzzwords and HR appropriate policies, but the good, the bad, and the juicy gossip that comes with the behind-the-scenes of running a business. Come laugh and hang with us every Wednesday while your host, Kira La Forgia (seen in Forbes and Scribd), shoots the (sometimes HR inappropriate) sh*t with badass founders, diverse managers, and kickass employees to help us build cultures that matter. Because your favorite HR lady may have fired your bestie or made you sign a love contract, but we also have all the gossip that will make you better at your job, whether youre on your way up the corporate ladder, are a fellow HR villain, or are building a culture as a rising entrepreneur. If this resonated with you, join us every Wednesday for your weekly dose of HR fun!
