The Workforce Therapy Files team attended the 2025 Kentucky SHRM Conference, in Louisville. We took the opportunity to interview over 20 professionals who stopped by our booth. The team interviews Charles Duke, the HR Administrator for the Kentucky Historical Society, based in Lexington. He describes himself as an "inspirational leadership type of HR professional." The KHS was coping with a unique situation: its 60 employees had operated for 7 years without an HR person, relying on the Personnel Cabinet for onboarding and discipline. Charles came to the interview prepared. He used the museum's website to create a portfolio of ideas for each department, ultimately turning the interview into a conversation built on competence. Charles also shares his extensive background, which included 30 years in the Air Force. When asked what he looks for in a candidate, he immediately answered, "authenticity," explaining that he needs to see the same energy displayed during the interview applied to the rest of the job. Charles believes the HR professional's job is to put the "human" back in HR by handling employee relations and clarifying thought processes. That essential human element and relationship-building can't be done by AI or other staff, like a curator. Finally, Charles leaves the following question for the next guest: What do you think qualifies you to be a human resources professional?

16 Years ago a Man with a promising future made a terrible mistake. Charles Duke Tanner was 19-0 and was taking the boxing world by storm. But Boxing slowed down, like he said.."you only get paid when the cameras are on" in a moment of desperation fueled by his desire to lift his family and close friends out of poverty, he made a compromise. One he owns up to by the way. Duke received a double life sentence for a non violent first offense. A sentence that would be unheard of today. But this was the Era of the War on drugs and Duke was being used as an example. Listen to this powerful story of hope, On the heels of many great people advocating for Duke. The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump read Dukes file and said.."Grant him Clemency" As amazing as that is its just the beginning for this Champion. Its boots on the ground and gloves in the ring for this man who desires to be part of the change we so desperately need. Duke wants to use his story to connect and build leadership skills in this new generation of world changers. Its not about gaining followers. "Its about leaders making leaders that pass em up" Then as they reach a new level of achievement, they turn around and point to us and say. "I learned this from him" Thats all the Glory we need. Dukes Got Next Tanner, Desire, Discipline, Drive.
