Hi!
My name is Daniel DanFromHR Space.
I've spent 20+ years as an HR Business Partner at companies like Spotify, Epic Games, Electronic Arts, WebMD, and American Express.
I've sat in the rooms where reorgs get designed, where layoffs get decided, where comp models get built, and where careers get made or broken. I've been the HRBP whispering in the CEO's ear and the HRBP cleaning up after the CEO ignored me.
Now I teach what I learned. Not the textbook version. The real version. How to actually think like a business person. How to speak executive language fluently instead of translating HR-speak in your head and hoping it lands.
How to build org structures, workforce plans, and compensation models that work. And how to walk into a room full of senior leaders and be the person they listen to, not the person they tolerate.
I started DanFromHR in 2020 to make content because nobody was teaching HRBPs the hard stuff. SHRM teaches you compliance. LinkedIn teaches you buzzwords. I teach you how to be the person your CEO can't run the business without.
I grew up in New York City, and now live in Charlotte.
I have a master's in HR from Manhattanville College and a bachelor's in Psychology and Music from SUNY New Paltz, which means I understand both how people think and how to make them feel something.
I'm building TheHRBPs.com as the home for HR professionals who are tired of being under taught and underestimated. If that's you, you're in the right place.
I focus on one of 3 areas:
Leadership Coaching I work with leaders at every level who are trying to figure out the people side of the business. Not the HR-speak version. The real one. How do you motivate a team that's burned out? How do you redesign an org that's outgrown its structure? How do you have the conversation with your best performer who's also your biggest culture problem? I help leaders understand motivation, engagement, morale, and org design not as abstract concepts but as levers that directly drive business outcomes. If you've ever thought "I'm great at the work but I don't know how to lead the people doing it," that's exactly where I live.
HR Business Partner Coaching Whether you're navigating a messy performance management situation, working through a complex employee relations issue, building your first workforce plan, or just trying to figure out how to get your business leaders to actually listen to you, I've been there. Twenty years of it. At Spotify, EA, Epic Games, WebMD, and more. I don't give you frameworks from a textbook. I sit with you in the mess and help you think through it the way a senior HRBP would: what are the real risks, what are the politics, what does the business actually need, and how do you position yourself as the person who solved it. Bring me your hardest problem. That's where I do my best work.
Resume, LinkedIn, and Interview Coaching Here's what makes me different from every other resume writer: I've been the person on the other side of the table. I've built job descriptions, designed interview panels, trained hiring managers, and made the final call on thousands of candidates. I know exactly how recruiting works from the inside because I built those systems. Working with me, you get a resume and LinkedIn profile engineered by someone who knows what hiring managers actually look for, what ATS systems filter for, and what makes a recruiter stop scrolling. On interview prep, I don't just run you through practice questions. I teach you how the process works, what each interviewer is screening for, and how to position your story so the decision is already made before you walk out of the room.
What to expect in a session: I'm direct, warm, and I don't waste your time. Every session is tailored to exactly where you are and what you need. No scripts. No generic advice. Just 20 years of experience pointed directly at your situation. Come with your real problem and leave with a real plan.
