Cecilia reflects on the growth of How HR Leaders Change the World – from seeing a gap in HR thought leadership to a sell-out conference. Sharing the origins of Uplifting People and her unique perspective shaped by a background outside of HR, Cecilia describes how pivotal global moments such as the pandemic revealed the clear social and environmental impact of HR, inspiring her to shine a spotlight on HR professionals as changemakers. As the movement grew, so did the desire for deeper connection. The community’s call for more than podcast episodes led to the creation of How HR Leaders Change the World – Live!, a highly interactive and inspiring HR conference. Cecilia shares how the event fosters candid dialogue, practical takeaways and fresh energy among people leaders. Cecilia offers a heartfelt thank you to listeners for their support and shares a special early bird offer for this year’s conference.
