Details about the event

Most organizations don't lack ambition. They lack alignment.

CEOs are setting aggressive growth targets. People leaders are being asked to deliver culture, performance, and retention outcomes, all at once, often without an integrated model connecting them. The result? Fragmented initiatives, exhausted teams, and a people strategy that can't keep pace with the business.

achieveCPR™ is a half-day executive experience designed to change that.

Built around the achieveCPR™ framework — Culture, Performance, and Retention — this event brings together top HR and People leaders for a day of practitioner-led panels, peer exchange, and hands-on playbook building. You won't just leave inspired. You'll leave with a draft strategy, real tools, and a community of peers who are doing the work alongside you.

The morning is built around the three pillars. What it actually looks like to achieve Culture, achieve Performance, and achieve Retention in organizations right now.

Achieve Culture + Performance

Performance Enablement: Flipping the Script on How Performance Actually Happens

Performance management is broken at most companies. Everyone knows it. Few have fixed it, because the fix is not a better form, it is a different premise. Edie Goldberg introduces Performance Enablement, the approach at the center of her new book and research: stop measuring people after the fact and start building the conditions, clarity, and culture that let performance happen in the first place. We open with the framework, then go straight at the practitioner question in a live fireside: what has to change in your culture for this to work, and where does it break when you try.

Peer EXchange #1 | Achieve Culture + Performance

Small group peer discussion: Where is the gap between the culture you say you have and the performance you are actually getting? If you enabled performance instead of measuring it, what is the first thing you would have to stop doing? What would you start?

Achieve Culture + Retention

Building a Culture Worth Staying For: Keeping Your Best People Without Relying on Perks

‍
Retention is not a program, it is an outcome. When the culture is clear and the work is fair, people stay because they are growing, connected, and confident in what comes next. Two people leaders who have built in fast-moving, high-expectation environments go at what actually holds: career architecture, manager capability, recognition that is not theater, and the culture signals that predict attrition long before anyone resigns.

Peer EXchange #2 | Achieve Culture + Retention
