I had the pleasure of working with Irina Posan as a guest speaker for our HRPA Spring Student Success Series: Elevate Your Resume, Interview Skills, and LinkedIn Presence — and she was phenomenal!

Irina brought incredible energy, actionable insights, and a warm, approachable style that truly resonated with our student members.

The engagement and feedback from attendees was outstanding, and it’s clear that Irina’s expertise and passion for helping others shine through in every session. I’d love the opportunity to collaborate with her again in the future and highly recommend her as a speaker, coach, and HR professional.
