Let’s face it: times are tough in the world of HR. People leaders are feeling more burned out, disillusioned, and undervalued than ever before. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this workshop, we dug into the real reasons HR and People professionals feel so unhappy in their roles—and how to turn things around by focusing on the work that truly drives impact and by using AI as a strategic ally instead of another source of stress.

Hear from Ethena’s Chief People Officer, Melanie Naranjo, and Giovanna Travieso, Lead – People Experiences & Growth at Magic Leap, as they explore practical, actionable ways to bring joy, influence, and momentum back into your HR career, supported by smarter workflows, better partnership with the business, and AI tools that make your job easier, not harder.
