The Champion Within: Strengthening Mindset for HR Leaders
With speaker: Jeff Koziatek, Executive Coach and CEO of Core Authenticity
Human Resources leaders live on the edge.
You’re balancing care for employees with responsibility to the organization. You’re navigating change, uncertainty, difficult conversations, and decisions that rarely come with clear wins.
At times, it can feel like:
- You care too much - and it costs you
- You’re perceived as caring too little - and it costs you
- You’re expected to hold everyone else steady while absorbing the weight of layoffs, restructuring, conflict, and shifting expectations
That tension can be exhausting. Frustrating. Demoralizing. While you can’t control how others respond - or the circumstances you’re handed - you can choose how you show up.
In this engaging and practical session, Jeff introduces the Champion Mindset and shows HR leaders how to strengthen it using three powerful tools - Meaning, Message, and Mirrors - so they can stay grounded, clear, and resilient when the pressure is real.
