In today’s episode, I chat with Kira La Forgia, founder of Paradigm, an HR consultancy that helps small business owners build scalable, compliant, and joyful team structures. 

With a decade of experience in People Operations in the corporate world, Kira La Forgia is no stranger to the sensitive issues involved in the human side of running a business. There’s a lot to learn from hiring, onboarding, training, and managing the performance of over 500 employees for a multimillion dollar business. The good news is, Kira learned it all so you don’t have to.

Kira founded Paradigm to bridge the gap between corporate HR policies and the modern needs of entrepreneurs. Because Google might have almost all the answers, but it doesn’t have what your unique business needs. 

Kira shares her personal journey from corporate HR to entrepreneurship and the burnout that led her to create a business model that supports her lifestyle. We talk about the importance of delegation, building a strong team culture, and why small businesses need tailored HR strategies.

If you’re struggling to scale because you're still doing it all yourself, this episode is for you! Learn how to step into your CEO role and lead your team with confidence, so you can finally take a step back and focus on what matters most – both in business and life.
