    Great source for insight into talent management
    Talent management covers such a broad range of subjects that it’s difficult to find one source that provides good information on all facets of it. Lisa Mitchell has done a great job with the podcast Talent Management Truths of providing a broad range of expertise for any talent management, professional, from Human Resources to Learning & Development, to Talent Acquisition. In todays competitive environment, where acquiring and retaining talent is so critical to every organization, the kind of practical knowledge and expertise from Lisa and her guests can be immediately integrated into any talent management department!

    True Through and Through
    Great show with a very, open, transparent and heartfelt approach to covering deeper than surface level HR and people operations issues, with a focus on talent acquisition and talent management but going well beyond, as well. Also, just a pleasant show to make your day a little better--great for the morning commute or to wind down the evening with some friendly, informative banter!

    A thoughtful, much needed resource for talent/HR professionals
    I absolutely love what Lisa is creating for those of us in the talent management, OD and HR profession. As she’s so articulately expresses, we are often so focused on providing development opportunities for others that we can neglect our own development or fail to find good resources and support systems fir the work we do. I am very grateful that Lisa has launched this fabulous podcast to support our community!
