In today\\u2019s episode, I chat with Bobby Humes, an experienced executive and leadership coach with a wide range of expertise in human resource operations and organizational change strategy. Bobby previously served as chief HR officer for the City of Seattle, providing executive leadership consultation to executive cabinet members and their HR teams.

Bobby\\u2019s also a friend. We met during the early days of the pandemic. I messaged him out of the blue to pitch an idea for an HR virtual reality conference. A few months later we collaborated in the metaverse, and have stayed in touch ever since.\\xa0

Our conversation covered a lot of ground: from Bobby\\u2019s background in the armed forces, and ultimately, the transition to public service leadership, to the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging initiatives. We closed with a stroll down memory lane, and our times spent together in VR headsets.\\xa0

It was great to reconnect with a friend. And I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did recording it.
