[Upcoming Webinar] The Path to CPO

Date/Time: Thursday, August 27th @ 12pm ET / 9am PT

Half the org still thinks HR's job is birthday cakes and handbook reminders. Getting to CPO means proving otherwise, and that starts with speaking the business's language.

The skills aren't the problem. Nobody taught you how to translate people work into business outcomes, partner with the business instead of policing it, or make the tough call when what's right for the company isn't what employees want to hear.

Join Melanie Naranjo (Chief People Officer, Ethena) and Laura Hammond (Principal Consultant & Founder, The People People) for a candid conversation about building real business fluency, earning a seat at the strategy table, and handling the hard conversations that come with actually driving the business forward.

What you'll learn:

• A framework for translating people work into business outcomes other leaders actually care about.
• Tactics for partnering with the business instead of showing up as the department that says no.
• A playbook for navigating the tough calls where what's right for the company means a hard conversation with an employee.

You should attend if:

• You're doing the strategic work already — but the business still treats HR like a support ticket, not a seat at the table.
• You're fluent in HR, not in business — and you know that's the gap standing between you and the next title.
• You're eyeing the CPO seat — and want real tools for the hard parts, not another slide about "having a voice."

Speaker(s):

• Melanie Naranjo (Chief People Officer, Ethena)
• Laura Hammond (Principal Consultant & Founder, The People People)
