In this episode of Founders, Future, with host Karyn Vadnais, we dive into the inspiring journey of Morgan B. Williams, founder and CEO of Peak HR. Morgan shares how her unconventional path—from aspiring psychiatrist to HR visionary—was shaped by her parents' resilience and the power of mentorship. She discusses the mission behind Peak HR, a Black-owned, female-led HR consulting and training firm, and how it empowers companies and emerging HR leaders through fractional consulting and cohort-based learning. Morgan also opens up about the challenges of scaling her business, the importance of psychological safety in the workplace, and her vision for the future of HR innovation.
Morgan unpacks the dual nature of Peak HR—serving both startups in need of fractional HR support and HR professionals seeking career growth through immersive cohort programs. She reflects on the lessons learned in her first year of business, including the delicate balance of branding two distinct services and the value of building solutions based on real client needs rather than assumptions. With transparency and passion, Morgan offers insights into overcoming industry challenges, fostering inclusive workplaces, and her plans to expand Peak HR’s impact in the coming year.
