Trying to lead both the business and the HR function is exhausting for most CEOs.

It’s costing them through…

  • Distracted and stressed leadership not focused on driving the organization’s growth.

  • Heightened legal risks and compliance issues.

  • Operational inefficiencies, hindering their ability to leverage cost-effective technologies and streamlined processes.

  • Unrealized potential of the biggest line item on their budget, their payroll (ie. people).

  • Employee dissatisfaction, potentially generating negative employer reviews that affect their reputation.

  • Cultural misalignment within their organization, impacting employee engagement and cohesion.

I’m Phil! 👋

I am the founder and principal at Talent Realized.

I am not your average HR leader. In fact, I have always tried to not brand myself as “HR.” Guess that is the rebellious pastor’s kid in me.

My 18+ year career spans from being a missionary to an executive at a high-growth tech company.

I spurred the growth of a faith-forward Church software company, Subsplash, by creating a People Operations department (1st HR hire) that boosted the ability to attract and retain top talent nationwide, resulting in over 5x growth in both headcount and revenue within 6 years and being nationally recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies (Inc. 5000)

  • As the VP of People Operations, I led a team responsible for Talent Acquisition, People Operations, Payroll, Total Rewards, L&D, Office Management, and IT. We supported close to 300 employees in 24 states with contractors all over the world. I cultivated a culture with exceptional Glassdoor ratings (4.7+), high employee net promoter scores (65+), and best workplace awards from Inc. Magazine, Glassdoor, BuiltIn, Puget Sound Business Magazine, Austin Business Magazine, and Seattle Business Magazine.

    I also led the company through major transformations, including multiple acquisitions, office expansion, and a transition to a fully remote workplace.

    My background also includes:

    • Over 15 years of People and Operations leadership in companies & non-profits

    • Building and leading a high-performing Talent Acquisition (recruiting) team

    • Navigating faith in the workplace

    • Developing and implementing transparent compensation philosophies and procedures

    • A Senior Professional in HR (SPHR) Certification

    • An MBA with honors & Graduation Certificate in Leadership Formation from Seattle University

    I founded Talent Realized to live out my calling with greater impact and scope and to inspire my children.

Realize Your Vision

Leading an organization is HARD! You need to get your strategic plan right, then your marketing message, then your sales pitch, then your operations, then your cash management, and financial plan. But what ends up taking a large chunk of your time is HR issues!

If you’re like most small organizations, you have an ad-hoc HR Manager, and chances are they are the top executive and not excited about wearing this hat. They would rather focus on growing revenue and building new products/services.

Why not hire an HR Coach to help you build your business so it reflects your values, drives for results, and can improve (and fund) your quality of life?

Working with me as your coach and Fractional Chief People Officer is simple. Let’s plan a call in which I ask you several questions about your HR function and give you an initial health status. Then, we will customize a plan to fix what’s broken and optimize your people and teams for peak performance and growth.

Without a coach, you will likely make several costly mistakes and spend hours Googling, costing you the world’s most precious commodity: time.

With a coach, you will build your business on the shoulders of an HR expert with the 10,000 hours already logged.

Your heart wants to have a high-performing and values-aligned workplace you can be proud of. We can help you realize this.

So, schedule your intro call today, and let’s start realizing your vision for the people and culture in your organization!
