    The Truth about HR…and You

About This Course

This program was created in 2017. It is a unique learning opportunity. The content remains relevant today! What has changed is I no longer offer the HRCI or SHRM credits for going through the program. Quite frankly, I have enough of dealing with them. As a result, I have lowered the price to $197. My hope being your learning is more important to you than getting the credits. At least I belioeve that should be the case!

Don is an HR executive’s best friend! He is an experience employment lawyer, but even more important to this program, has trained over 6,000 CEOs on better people management and knows what they want from their HR executives. He knows what HR “strategy” really means.


Don built and sold HR That Works to ThinkHR. He is as adept at creating HR policies, procedures, and tools as anyone on this planet!


Don has spoken to dozens of HR groups, run HR Masterminds groups and continues one on one coaching with HR executives nationwide.

The GreatHR Program is designed to take your HR career to the next level. Of course, titles are important but even more important is the difference you make and the pay you get for it!

This program was derived from an intense year long program I used to run. Given the new realties I brought it all online.

Here’s what two HR execs want you to know about this program:

Jenny Foster

CIC, HR and Benefits Consultant

To any HR Executive thinking about joining The Great HR Executive Program, I looked at the outline of this program and I am blown away. It is so Don Phin. So many wonderful adjectives come to mind when I think of Don. He is a consummate professional, adeptly skilled in employment litigation, is on time, on topic, and on the cutting edge of industry trends. Don has a breadth of Human Resources knowledge not often found in those with decades of experience at the HR Director level. He brings a wealth of information to the table, whether it is on the topic of law, employee relations, Human Resources, employer compliance, as well as creative ways to truly leverage human capital. Don creates energy and buy-in wherever he goes and brings this energy to public speaking and executive level briefings. A skilled presenter, Don has a no-nonsense teaching style, and as an attendee of his Human Resources Black Belt program, I can truly say that my approach to HR was forever changed for the better. I consider knowing Don, both personally and professionally, to be an honor and means having authoritative power behind my professional decisions. No matter how busy his workload, Don cares about his colleagues and promptly returns calls and emails. He has made a difference in my career, the HR profession, pioneered the best delivery system for Human Resources tools and platforms, and is sought after by many wishing to replicate what he builds. You will serve yourself well by signing up for his new program.

SPHR

I am a seasoned HR professional and had my SPHR-CA certification when I took Don’s Black Belt HR course.  A review of the syllabus convinced me to sign up and I am very glad I did. The course included modules covering subjects that prepare HR professionals to be HR leaders.  By the end of the course, I had a better understanding of what makes a great HR professional and had developed my own strategic plan which took me to the next level of my career. Don is an accomplished presenter.  He made this program interesting and something to look forward to!  He openly shared his knowledge, challenged us to share with each other and engaged us in exercises that resulted in not only a better understanding of the full scope of human resources, but more importantly, in matters of HR strategic leadership. If you are looking for a program that provides you with the opportunity to put into practice what you learn in theory, The Great HR Executive program fits the bill!
