JOIN LOUNGEWhy This Community Exists
Joey’s HR Lounge exists because too many HR leaders are carrying the weight of the organization in isolation, expected to have the answers while navigating ambiguity, politics, and rapidly changing technology.
Public forums reward hot takes and performative certainty, but real leadership growth happens in honest, off-the-record conversations with peers who understand the stakes. The Lounge is intentionally small, trusted, and relationship-driven. It’s where HR leaders compare notes before decisions are made, pressure-test ideas without judgment, and stay ahead of shifts that will impact their credibility and careers.
Don't miss out on proximity to the conversations and relationships that shape what’s coming next.
"HR leaders don’t need more content. They need proximity, perspective, and intelligent discussion."
Who It’s For
Joey’s HR Lounge isn't for everyone—and that is by design. This community is a curated ecosystem built specifically for the high-level thinkers who are no longer satisfied with the status quo of "Human Resources" and are ready to lead the era of Strategic People Operations.
