People leaders are responsible for setting a good example. That doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to tell it like it is.

Whether you’re dealing with a stakeholder who isn’t hearing the severity of the situation or finding yourself giving the same feedback for the umpteenth time, People professionals can often find themselves thinking, “I wish I could just say X!”

Well, we’re here to say you can!

Tune into this session for a fun and spicy chat between Ethena’s VP of People, Melanie Naranjo, and Workweek’s Chief People Officer, Hebba Youssef as they talk about why you should say exactly what you mean and how to do it while keeping it professional.
