About this Event
How do we create more proactive and less reactive cultures and companies?
Join us for Proactive Conversations: A World Cafe Experience Together with our partners at Blue Dot and Chief, we are bringing together 50 top HR/People & Business leaders for an evening designed to spark honest conversation and generate new ideas on what actually shifts a culture from reactive firefighting to proactive, human-centered leadership.
Together we will explore what causes reactivity and how we, as leaders, can create more proactive companies and teams that thrive in today’s constantly changing world.
Through stories, dialogue, and shared wisdom, we’ll surface what’s working, what’s not, and what’s emerging as employees’ expectations evolve.
