Past attendees include CHROs from... Cindy How many do you want and who?
You walk into the CEO’s office asking for funding. Five minutes in,
👀 eyes glaze.
You pivot. You explain...
The CFO leans back.
“What’s the bottom line?”
You were hired as a strategic CHRO,
yet you’re being heard like an administrator. Not for lack of strategy.
Because the business doesn’t speak HR.
Executives don’t hear programs. They hear outcomes.
CEO
Revenue
Growth Options
Execution Speed
CFO
Margin
Cost Discipline
Risk
Winning CHROs translate talent moves into those terms.
Same strategy
Different language
Different results.
For years HR was rewarded for compliance and ops.
The mandate shifted, but few were shown what business-language sounds like in a real CEO meeting. In this economy, the communication gap is expensive.
Margin pressure. Aggressive growth targets. Boards watching. If talent isn’t clearly connected to impact, it’s deprioritized. Now is the time to close the gap.

❌ No vendor keynotes
❌ No selling from stage
✅ Sponsors present, but content is practitioner-led.

✨ 90 percent sitting CHROs plus a small number of successor leaders from our Mastermind community.
🎙️ Every panel is sharpened by a moderator and a coach to remove HR jargon and tighten the business case.
Because serious leaders treat communication as a performance skill,
not a soft skill.

Open with revenue
Anchor to margin
Quantify risk
Translate culture into execution

Six decision-focused case panels
Each CHRO on stage has spent nine months working with a speaking coach to refine how they communicate at the highest level in CEO and CFO conversations. Not to sound polished. To sound clear.
CHRO Panel 1 Improve margin and productivity without stalling growth. Frame talent decisions as efficiency and profitable growth drivers.

Sitting Chief HR and People Officers at 500+ employee companies. Leaders hired to drive business outcomes, not just oversee operations.
Who it’s not for:
Status-quo leaders. Non-practitioners. Vendors and consultants unless sponsoring.
You can read a recap or watch a clip.
You can’t replicate the side conversations between sessions, the unguarded candor of peers face-to-face, or the accountability that happens when you say out loud what you’ll do next. CHRO is one of the loneliest roles. This is a room where you are not alone.
Post-Event Access
Title stays. Influence plateaus. Resources stall. HR remains heard as functional support.
Imagine instead: You open with revenue. Anchor to margin. Connect talent to execution. The room leans in.
