What happens when you mix childhood hustle, a deep commitment to faith, and two decades of leadership experience? You get Lakeisha Robichaux—CEO of Chief of Minds and a total force in the HR and business strategy space.

In this episode, Lakeisha walks us through her journey from selling candy in middle school to building a thriving HR consultancy that’s redefining how businesses grow through people. She shares what she learned from her first failed business, how she leads with intention and integrity, and why HR should never be an afterthought.

We dig into:

Why hiring a “mini-me” is a red flag
How to build diverse, high-performing teams
The difference between work-life balance and integration
The role of faith and prayer in her leadership decisions
What’s ahead for Chief of Minds in 2025

If you’re leading a team, growing a business, or trying to figure out how to do both without losing yourself, this episode is for you.
