You’ve probably dealt with HR that hid behind policy manuals, canned emails, and “we’ll look into it.” So have I. That’s why I built Faulkner HR Solutions—to make HR what it was supposed to be in the first place: a system that protects people and the organization.

I’ve sat on both sides of the table. I’ve been the employee trying to survive chaotic leadership and the HR director tasked with cleaning up after it. I’ve seen how broken onboarding, vague policies, and performative “trainings” wreck trust. And I’ve rebuilt those systems so employees actually get tools that work—clear expectations, consistent processes, and leaders who can handle problems before they explode.

HR isn’t supposed to be the villain. Done right, it gives you stability, opportunity, and a workplace that doesn’t chew through people. That’s what I fight for.

HR isn’t your enemy—it’s your ally. Discover how HR supports employees through risk management, training, benefits, and fair workplace systems that protect both you and the organization.

Every workplace has that one person who says “I’m staying out of it”… and then becomes the unofficial news reporter two seconds later.

Not judging—just HR-trained observing 👀

Anime and HR? Yup.
Before you roll your eyes, hear me out.

Most HR training materials are about as fun as filling out a W-4.
PowerPoint slides. Buzzwords. Maybe a role-play exercise that makes everyone want to quit on the spot.

But anime? Anime gets it.
It’s messy, emotional, and all about character growth. That’s literally what leadership development is supposed to be.

🌀 Dragon Ball teaches us growth takes repetition, setbacks, and time.
🗡️ Solo Leveling reminds us that real progress happens in the dark, not on the highlight reel.
🎭 Spirited Away shows what onboarding feels like when you throw someone into a new world with no map.

HR doesn’t need more corporate jargon — it needs better storytelling.
If you want your managers to remember what they learn, make it stick the way a good saga does.

I broke down how anime tropes can teach us about leadership, development, and the grind behind real growth — without the filler episodes.

Discover how anime tropes reveal real lessons in HR leadership, growth, and culture. Transform dull training into stories people actually remember.

🚨 Most new manager training fails — and it’s not because managers don’t care.

It’s because we keep teaching theory instead of capability.

You can give someone a certificate in “leadership,” but if they can’t document performance, hold a hard conversation, or make a defensible decision under pressure, you didn’t build a leader. You built a liability.

Managers don’t fail when things are easy. They fail when things get real — the late employee who’s the owner’s nephew, the hothead who knows every system but can’t lead a team, the project that burns everyone out because no one said no.

Real new manager training builds competence that holds up when the pressure hits.
It’s measurable. It’s uncomfortable. And it’s the difference between a functioning organization and one stuck cleaning up preventable messes.

Here's something that surprises most Texas employers: you're not legally required to give your employees lunch breaks. Or any breaks, for that matter. I know—it sounds wild. But Texas labor laws regarding breaks are some of the most employer-friendly (or employee-unfriendly, depending on your perspective) in the country. Unlike states like California or New York that mandate meal and rest periods, Texas follows federal standards under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)—which basically says breaks are optional....
