Ready to break free from program fatigue and culture initiatives that fizzle out fast?

Nikki sits down with Heather Haas, CEO of Advisa, as she shares why so many culture efforts flop and how HR professionals can finally make the shift from being stuck in a silo to leading true transformation.

They dive into the game-changing A.T.L.A.S. framework—think executive activation, trust, leadership development, people data, and killer systems—all designed to drive results and get your team rowing in the same direction.

If you’re an HR leader who’s done with the fluff and ready for a proven system that sticks, this convo is your new playbook 💡.
