Hire Breakthrough Podcast with Kimone Napier
Most organizational problems don't start with bad hires. They start with unclear systems, misaligned structures, and leaders who are moving too fast to stop and assess what's actually broken.
The Hire Breakthrough Podcast is for founders, nonprofit leaders, and executives who are ready to build organizations that don't just grow — they last.
Each week, host Kimone Napier — HR consultant and organizational strategist with over a decade of experience — brings you practical, no-fluff conversations on people strategy, workforce development, organizational design, and the operational side of building strong teams. No theory for theory's sake. Just real strategy you can act on.
Where breakdowns become your Hire Breakthrough.
