HR IMPACT WORKSHOP 2026

I want my CEO to see HR as a business driver, not a department.

A 3-hour working session on the IMPACT™ Framework. You leave with tools you can use Monday.

November 5, 2026 | 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM PST | Virtual Workshop

If your CEO only calls HR when something is on fire, this is for you.

Is HR Being Seen as a Cost Center or a Strategic Partner?

Too often, HR gets pulled into fixing problems, managing processes, and putting out fires.

You may recognize the pattern:

  • Transaction-heavy work consumes your time

  • You're brought into decisions after they've already been made

  • Leadership asks about headcount, but not necessarily about ROI

  • You're measuring HR activity without always connecting it to business outcomes

  • You spend more time putting out fires than shaping strategy

I Didn't Know I Was the

Intimidating Manager.

I was that manager, the one whose calendar invite made people's stomachs drop, the one my team was relieved to stop reporting to.

And the truth is, I didn't wake up one morning and decide to be intimidating. It happened one rushed hallway conversation at a time. One meeting where I was more focused on getting things done than how people felt walking out of it. One interaction at a time.

Until someone finally told me the truth I didn't want to hear:

I wasn't building a team people wanted to stay on. I was managing people out the door.

That conversation changed the way I looked at leadership.

why this matters now

The Expectation for HR is Changing

HR is increasingly expected to contribute to business performance, while administrative demands can make that strategic contribution harder to deliver.

65%

of senior leaders see HR as a key business enabler.

51%

say administrative workload keeps HR from contributing more strategically.

The door is open for HR to be a strategic business partner.

The challenge is moving beyond the day-to-day work that can keep HR stuck at the copier instead of in the business conversation.

STAKEHOLDER
