HR Team Accelerator
You know your team is capable of more strategic work if you could manage to rise above the chaos! The Accelerator offers HR advisory services that help you step back, confront where you currently stand with brutal honesty, and build a plan that's practical, human, and sustainable. It’s time to get your HR team focused, aligned, and ready to lead with confidence.
What We'll Work On
Formats
The HR Team Accelerator is specifically designed for HR teams of 1-10 people. If you find yourself constantly reactive and know you should be focusing on strategic human resource management but struggle to get there, you need a partner who provides unflinching honesty while helping you navigate the path to HR and organizational success through effective team workshops.

Trusted Advisor
You don’t need another “fractional” anything - you need a thinking partner.
As part of our HR advisory services, we embed ourselves as an on-call strategist for your executives and HR team, blending expertise with coaching and providing decision support.
Let us assist you in navigating the big picture and long-term HR elements: People Strategy, Talent Systems, Culture & Change, HR Ops Maturity, and HR Tech & AI.

Manager Training Programs
Our HR advisory services offer a comprehensive manager toolkit covering essential topics such as Feedback and Coaching, Respectful Workplace, Creating a Culture of Recognition, Performance Management, and Interviewing and Hiring.

Team Workshops + Training
Our team workshops are designed with customized content tailored to your needs.

Keynotes + Breakouts
Candid, research-grounded, and refreshingly un-boring. Great for conferences, internal summits, all-hands, or webinars. You get an engaging talk, sharp POV, actionable takeaways, and minimal buzzword nonsense.
Link to representative topics, previous engagements, and downloadable speaker kit.
Writing + Content
Thoughtful, readable content for HR tech vendors, service providers, and business outlets. We'll write content for your HR or business audience: articles, blog posts, reports, playbooks, or "explain-it-to-humans" product narratives, including information relevant to team workshops.
