Unite for Impact: Harness the Power of CHRO Peers
Â
 The CHRO Role:
No Longer a Journey That Needs to be Walked Alone.
Â
At the pinnacle of HR leadership, the air can feel thin.
It's not just about strategic decisions or immense responsibilities; it's the weight of solitude, the occasional doubt echoing louder in the absence of supportive peers, and the challenge of constant growth in an ever-evolving corporate landscape.
Amidst these feelings, there's a profound need for understanding, a space for shared aspirations and challenges, and a desire for true connection with those who genuinely 'get it'
And joining a movement that future HR Leaders will stand on.

Meet Cindy Lu, Founder and Chief Connection Officer
After over two decades of running people-centric businesses, I had to learn the lesson of how strategic HR can help grow a business the hard way. It wasn't until I got advice from some high-caliber CHROs at my last company that I truly grasped the value HR could bring to growing an organization.
Now, I see SO many CEOs who, like me, didn't get it, and I believe the HR profession needs to go through a rebranding. HR knows the value that it brings, but the C-suite underestimates the leverage and impact it can have. Boards are from another generation, and as a result, employees suffer.
I believe HR has work to do—different work, not just all the regular stuff like business acumen, people analytics, being a strategic business partner, saving money, being a change leader, blah, blah, blah...That's all table stakes
The world has changed, and so has HR, but we haven't told anyone.
And modesty is selfish. If the world doesn't know what's possible, then we aren't serving to our full potential.
Yes, individually there are things we can do; we need to believe more. We can believe HR can drive revenue, believe we can influence, believe we are worthy. But even if we can go fast individually, we can't go far.
And if we want a different future, we have to remind ourselves of the definition of insanity.
It's time to rewrite the script, and not incrementally, so that the future of work improves for our children and grandchildren.
So that great talent views HR as their shepherd, so that Nom and Gov Chairs require all members to have human capital acumen to sit on a board, and so that the C-suite understands what a powerful resource HR is.
So how do we do it? We show up for each other, especially if you HAVE mostly figured it out.
We take risks, show the world what's possible. It's never been easier to show up and be seen, even without a huge PR budget. Together, we reshape minds.
Alone You Can Go Fast, Together We Will Go Far
Todays HR professionals need to be apt at juggling responsibilities.
You are expected to keep everyones skills sharp, make sure you provide an amazing employee experience, be a confidant to the CEO, and SO MUCH MORE!Â
Â
HOW DO YOU DO ALL OF THIS WITHOUT DROPPING THE BALL?
- Rely on service providers or consultants?
- Watch another webinar?
- Search for another certification?Â
While those are ok paths to follow, the savvy HR leaders know there is a better way!
Join a group of high-level CHROs who will help you navigate the waters.

Marion Terrell, II, CHRO at MINT dentistry
“The decisions that we are making affect lots of people. And so I don't take that lightly. …
If I can connect with people who have seen the movie before, who have a different way of thinking about things, it is extremely critical for me to ...have access to those folks.”
Suzanne Myers, CHRO Arcosa
“I’ve been a part of Cindy's Mastermind group now coming up on three years, and it's one of the best investments that I've given to myself.
I really enjoy the colleagues that I've met over the years and the networking opportunities, but most importantly I'm just always surrounded by people with great minds and people who I can call and really lean on when I need some assistance.”
Maryam Morse, Chief People OfficerÂ

Josh Lipscomb, SVP Total Rewards, HRIS and HR Ops at Varsity Brands
“It's a space where I can speak freely in a safe environment and get input from peers for real business problems.
But also the friendships, I've been in Mastermind for several years and getting to connect about others' kids and family life is a really great outlet, but it's made me a better HR leader.”
