About this event

  • 2 hours

We are thrilled to invite you to a dynamic and enriching event tailored specifically for you. We present not just one, but two invaluable sessions designed to elevate your HR expertise to new heights.


Session 1: "Building HR Credibility Among Executives" Unlock the secrets to becoming an indispensable asset to your organization's leadership team. In this session, we delve deep into the minds of CEOs, exploring their unspoken expectations from HR Directors. Discover how to bridge the gap between aspiration and reality as we equip you with essential tools, centered around the transformative concept of "Commercial Grip." Elevate your commercial credibility and amplify the quality of your strategic contributions, positioning yourself as a trusted partner in driving organizational success.

Session 2: "From CHRO to COO: A Journey of Success" Experience firsthand the journey of transformation as we present the remarkable story of a Chief Human Resources Officer who seamlessly transitioned to the role of Chief Operating Officer. Gain invaluable insights from their lived experiences, learning from their triumphs and challenges along the way. This session promises to inspire and empower you to chart your path towards achieving your professional aspirations.


At the heart of it all, our goal is simple - to empower you to win. Together, let's unlock the door to transformational results that both you and your CEO aspire for your organization.

Mark your calendars and join us for an event that promises to redefine your approach to HR leadership and strategic impact. We look forward to welcoming you to an evening of enlightenment, networking, and professional growth.
