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.
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 watch if you're:
- Doing the strategic work already, while the business still treats HR like a support ticket
- Strong on HR and less sure on business fluency, and aware that's the gap before the next title
- Eyeing the CPO seat and after real tools for the hard parts
