curious what the 2023 LEADHRS graduates are saying about the program?

“Participating in LeadHRs was an excellent experience and one worth the investment of time and money. The combination of expert teaching, practical exercises, take-away tools/resources, and coaching provided me with the confidence needed to to lead my chapter and company more effectively. I highly recommend this program for President Elects so that they may use these transformative skills during their presidency the following year.

- Lauren Truelove, 2024 Chapter President, DallasHR

The entire program was exceptionally structured, providing a comprehensive combination of practical application and theory framework. All facilitators were highly knowledgeable and engaging. The application exercises allowed for immediate combination of lessons with situations at work or in our chapters. The emphasis on leadership development and strategic thinking has enhanced my perspective, and I have already utilized all tools provided and learned throughout the program in my job. The collaborative environment fostered topic discussions and networking which will benefit me as an HR professional for the indefinite future."
