Hope Advising

Happy Birthday to our CEO and Chief Consultant, Valerie McKain! 🎉

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible leader behind Hope Advising. We are so grateful for her leadership, encouragement, and the vision she continues to bring to Hope Advising.

Here’s to another year of wonderfully big ideas, meaningful impact, exciting opportunities, and continuing to make a difference in the lives and organizations you touch.

Happy Birthday, Valerie!

Strong teams start with strong foundations. 🌿

Our HR Foundations Package gives small businesses the essential HR tools they need to create consistency, set expectations, and make the employee experience feel more organized from day one.

Your package includes:

Employee Handbook
Up to 5 job descriptions
Orientation checklist
Offer letter template
New hire first-day information
Orientation packet

Instead of piecing together HR documents as you go, we help you build a practical foundation that fits your organization and gives you tools you can actually use.

Meet your HR team — Valerie & Kelsey!

We believe HR should be practical, approachable, and tailored to the people and organization in front of us.

HR questions have a way of popping up at the worst possible time. 👀

An employee issue. A documentation concern. A policy question. A conversation you’re not quite sure how to handle. HR on Tap™ gives small businesses and nonprofits access to a trusted HR resource when those questions come up—before a small issue turns into a bigger one.

Get practical guidance, added confidence, and HR support when you need it most. Questions before they escalate? We’re here to help.

Great leaders aren’t always born knowing how to lead—they’re often promoted because they’re great at what they do and then expected to figure out the people part along the way.

That’s where Leadership Training with Livstyle™ comes in.

Through the Livstyle™ assessment and practical leadership development, we help leaders better understand how they communicate, make decisions, handle stress, give feedback, navigate conflict, and lead their teams with greater confidence.

Happy Labor Day from Hope Advising!

Today, we celebrate the people behind the work — the employees who show up, contribute, problem-solve, serve their communities, and help organizations grow.

Happy Labor Day!

It's Monday morning. Your new employee starts in 20 minutes. The offer letter was pulled from an old email, no one is sure what should happen during orientation, and the job description is still labeled “final_FINAL_v2.” 😅

That is where the HR Foundations Package comes in.

Hope Advising helps small businesses create the essential HR documents and structure needed to hire and onboard employees with greater consistency—including an employee handbook, job descriptions, an offer letter template, orientation materials, and first-day information. Because welcoming a new employee should feel organized—not improvised.
