A Unique Peer Forum Experience for HR Leaders: Being a Co-Pilot in the Cockpit

Melissa Moreno knows from experience. That is why we are delighted that she is facilitating a unique peer forum experience specifically for HR Leaders. It is one of a kind. For HR Leaders. With HR Leaders. By HR Leaders.

Melissa Moreno is career HR leader across a range of businesses and sectors, now serving as Director of People & Culture at Quartus Engineering, Reporting to the CEO, she is responsible for all aspects of Human Resources and Talent recruitment, retention and development. Quartus is a high-technology engineering company with nearly 200 employees and Melissa brings a passion for all things people and culture. The company is an employee-owned ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) company for which Melissa is an ESOP Trustee.

As a serial CEO, I experienced the struggle many times of finding and developing the HR Leaders I really wanted to have, who could truly be a co-pilot in the cockpit of the business.  In addition to their deep HR specialty, I needed broad business acumen to help chart the flight plan for the business to sustain profitable growth through the inevitable turbulence ahead.  In particular, I needed someone who could work hand in hand with the CFO who was the other co-pilot I needed.  I needed these two key generalist co-pilots in the cockpit with me helping to facilitate my other C-level executives who were typically much more deeply specialists in Marketing/Sales, Design/Engineering, and Production/Support. Together we were always leading and managing so many change initiatives simultaneously, I needed a CFO and HR Leader who differentiated themselves as fully able to be co-pilots with me.

REF San Diego has built a one-of-a-kind peer forum experience specifically for HR Leaders to develop that differentiation as a co-pilot.  

Like only the collective intelligence power of peers can truly do!  A peer forum experience is like a hall of mirrors, illuminating opportunities for learning and growth 360 degrees in the round.     

A confidential setting with no competitors (or other conflicts of interest of any kind), a peer forum is a safe place where learners come with a beginner’s mind, where the good come to become great and where the best come to get better.

If you are a CEO wishing your HR Leader would fully become the co-pilot you need them to be, you are not alone!  Invest in them being a member of this forum.

If you are an HR Leader who wants to be amongst the best getting better, you are not alone!  Ask for your CEO’s support to invest in your being a member of this forum.

The HR Forum is only half a day per month of an in-person monthly meeting and a modest membership subscription.

There is no long-term contract.  Our members vote with their wallets and their feet, staying a long time as they find it such a great ROI.

So there is very little to lose.  Plus lots to gain.  Access expert insights and form deep and meaningful relationships in a confidential setting of diverse members with no competitors. Bring your most strategic, critical, and intractable issues, problems, challenges, and opportunities to a safe place to process with the forum.  Belong to a community of leaders powered by collective intelligence, locally, regionally, nationally, and globally.

There are only 15 seats available for non-competing members in this first HR Leaders Forum.  So don’t miss out.  Contact us today to express your interest: mrichardson@ref.global.
