Nahal Yousefian

Welcome to The Unbuzzed Podcast—I’m Nahal Yousefian, and after 20+ years in HR, I’ve seen how buzzwords create nothing but swirl, making you feel dizzy and lost.

This podcast dives into how these empty words and phrases impact people’s ability to do their jobs, feel valued, and move the work forward. If you’re fed up with buzzwords and want to chat, reach

Let’s be honest: ‘coach’ is one of those words that’s been stretched, overused, and misapplied so much that it barely resembles its original form. Like the word artisan—which once meant skilled craftsmanship and now applies to everything from overpriced toast to scented candles—coaching has suffered a similar fate.Enter Chris.Chris is the person who finally helped me uncringe the word coach—a word that, in my 20 years of HR, has come to mean everything from therapist to venting buddy to a person
