Leapsome’s Post

What an evening 💥🥂 A massive thank you to everyone who joined us at our NYC office for an incredible session on securing leadership buy-in for People initiatives. The energy, insights, and conversations were unmatched 💜 A special shoutout to our powerhouse speakers: Priscila Bala (CEO, LifeLabs Learning), Melanie Naranjo (CPO, Ethena), Christina Donnelly (CPO, BARK), and our own Luck Dookchitra (VP of People, Leapsome) for sharing their expertise 👏 Here are some key takeaways for winning executive buy-in: 💡 Approaching the CEO: Be specific, link ideas to business strategy, and focus on high-impact initiatives. 📊 Making the case: Pilot first, reframe old ideas with fresh context, and bring measurable data to the table. 🚀 Overcoming challenges: Align People strategies with business goals, deliver tough news transparently, and always keep the bigger picture in mind. So, before pitching your next initiative, ask yourself: ✔️ How does this connect to business strategy? ✔️ What’s the measurable impact? ✔️ What’s the cost of not doing this? As HR leaders, you don’t just enforce change but also advise, guide, and influence. Present your case, stand by your values, and know when to push and when to pivot 👌 Check out some pics from the evening below, and keep your eyes peeled for more exciting events coming soon 👀
