Thank you to People Alliance and specifically Ammaara Master for inviting me as Keynote Speaker to the Chief People Officer Summit, where I got to represent Inszone Insurance Services and talk about practical ways that HR can help change company cultures.
Pardon my old man grumbling, but after over twenty years in HR, technology and AI have changed, but people have not.
It is not difficult to create a great culture, but it requires actual self awareness from company leadership as to where you are currently at. If leadership is on board, I always recommend 5 free fixes to fix or improve a culture.
1. All company quarterly meetings
2. Succession Planning
3. Weekly team meetings
4. Management Workshops
5. Social Media Employee Recognition and Company Branding
None of this is difficult or expensive, it simply requires intent and effort. All of which one person must champion. Is it going to be you?

Special thanks to my insightful co-panelists, mawulom nenonene and Naomi Chavez Peters. Our topic, “Strategic Implementation of AI to Enhance Productivity and Revenue,” sparked a vibrant dialogue on the opportunities and challenges presented by hashtag#AI in the future of workforce development.

Recently, I had the privilege of sharing my point of view on 'Risk management in People Management' with the esteemed community of Silicon Valley People leaders at the Chief People Officer Summit.
The session delved into various risks; from Talent Risk to Data Privacy Risk, from Global compliance Risk to Succession Risk, and highlighted proven IRL strategies for effective risk management in each area. Through discussions on domestic and global case studies, the focus was on collective learning and actionable insights that organizations can implement to strengthen their risk posture while promoting fairness and consistency for their employees.

The Chief People Officer Summit in Silicon Valley, hosted by People Alliance, offered more than expected. Alongside C-suite people leaders, the event brought together product, founder, and customer leaders through parallel Chief Product Officer and Chief Customer Officer Summits—creating a truly cross-functional dialogue.
The People Alliance team cultivated a warm, thoughtful environment, and the panels on AI, compassion, product strategy, and operational excellence were rich with insight. The industry trends and lived experiences shared throughout the day added meaningful perspective.
Grateful to all the speakers, companies, executives, attendees, and the incredible People Alliance team for making the gathering so impactful.
