Exclusive Session for Senior Leaders
On April 27, we’re hosting an invitation-only gathering for senior leaders who are making big changes in major organizations.
We're building this experience specifically to support executive level corporate leaders in the movement to center equitable career mobility for workers. Leaders from Gap, Tyson, and Walmart will host peer consultancies around existing business challenges, and James Rhee, impact leader, investor, CEO, and educator, will share his vision for change in the corporate sector—and empower leaders with a message of what's possible. (To learn more about James, check out his recent TED Talk and his appearance on Brené Brown’s “Dare to Lead” podcast.)
If you’re an executive leading talent practice transformation from any role who wants new inspiration and concrete practices, email us to join our circle of changemakers on April 27.
