AltHR Hive | The Shift
by Marnie Robbins and Mindy Honcoop
The Shift is a conversational podcast for HR and People leaders who are carrying real responsibility and trying to lead with clarity in the middle of change. Hosted by Mindy Honcoop and Marnie Robbins, each episode feels like pulling up a chair in the working room, not sitting through another “thought leadership” lecture. They talk with practitioners, founders, and trusted voices about what’s shifting in the workplace right now: trust, leadership expectations, culture tension, AI and HR tech, change fatigue, messy people problems, and the decisions that sit on your desk when you’re the one everyone looks to. You’ll leave with practical language, grounded frameworks, and a little more courage to take the next right step. If you’re tired of performative HR conversations and want honest dialogue that actually helps you lead, you’re in the right place.
