#59: Game Day, Every Day with Katrina Ghazarian

Today on the show we’re talking with Katrina Ghazarian, CEO & founder of Gameday HR, an HR solutions provider for small and mid-size companies, and host of the podcast HR Sucks. Katrina helps advise college athletes promote their talent and marketability through the Professional Collegiate League.

Katrina talks about how she got the charisma she has now, and how she was voted funniest in her 5th grade class, as it mentions in her LinkedIn profile. We discuss how HR gets a bad reputation because there are so many HR people that don’t find passion or purpose in human resources. We discuss why the 80/20 rule is so important, and how someone from HR can implement that into their gameplan.

Katrina knows HR has a bad reputation, and she has changed the name of her company to reflect that, because in her words, “It’s gameday, every day!”.
