Step into the Boardroom
Where strategic HR leaders grow into business leaders — and own their seat.
This is an exclusive community for start-up HR leaders ready to think commercially, influence like founders and lead at exec level.
STEP UP Boardroom gives you a trusted peer network, ongoing development and the strategic edge to make HR impossible to ignore — and critical to driving business revenue growth.
Being a strategic HR leader in a start-up is high stakes...and often lonely.
Few understand the complexity of your role (not even your founder!) and even fewer can help you navigate it.
Stuck in the HR silo: Without commercial insights, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger business picture.
Buried in operational grind: When you’re constantly fire fighting, strategic thinking takes a back seat.
No space to grow: Real transformation needs room — fresh perspective, honest challenge and a network of peers who are in it with you and raise the bar.
You don't have to lead in isolation.
Break out of the silo, build your strategic muscles and grow into a business leader — alongside peers who facing the same challenges.
