The Shift - Team Meetings

HR leaders are being asked to navigate constant change, make high-stakes decisions, and “have a strategy”… often without a team to think things through with. In this episode of AltHR Hive Live: The Shift, Mindy Honcoop and Marnie Robbins have an honest, unscripted conversation about what’s changing in HR—and why so many Heads of People feel stuck, overwhelmed, or second-guessing themselves. We introduce a concept we believe more HR leaders need: team meetings outside your company. Not status updates. Not webinars. A real working session where HR leaders bring what they’re dealing with right now, gut-check their thinking, challenge assumptions, and leave with a next step. In this conversation, we explore: Why solo HR leaders are expected to bring strategy without support How traditional meetings and content-heavy communities fall short What great team meetings actually do (safety, sense-making, momentum) Why asking for help is often misread as incompetence—and how to change that How external team meetings help HR leaders grow before they have a team of their own This is a candid, slightly messy conversation—because that’s real life in HR right now. If you’ve ever thought: “I wish I had someone to think this through with…” This conversation is for you.
