🚨 MARK YOUR CALENDARS: OCT 22 IN CHICAGO!

We’re proud to share that Dr. Ali Atkison, VP of Learning & Development at HRD*, will be speaking at the PLC - Presidents'​ Leadership Council Strategy & Leadership Symposium on October 22 in Chicago, IL.

Ali’s session, “Stop Being the Smartest Person in the Room: How Great Leaders Build Thinkers Through Deliberate Doubt,” tackles a challenge every growing business faces: how do you build a team that thinks and solves problems independently, instead of leaning on you for every answer?

This full-day symposium brings together presidents, CEOs, founders, and owners to explore the biggest considerations shaping small businesses heading into 2027—from profitability and sales strategy to AI adoption and leadership development.

If you’re a business owner or executive in the Chicagoland area, this is a room worth being in. 💛

📍 Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL

We loved being part of such a meaningful event and were proud to sponsor ICAN’s W**e & Wags! 🐾

Swipe through the photos and you might spot our own Dr. Ali Atkison getting the ultimate event perk: a giant doggie hug, with her husband, Adam, by her side. 🐶❤️

Safe to say, this sponsorship came with some pretty great benefits.

🐾 Training is for dogs. GROWTH is for leaders.

We had such a great time supporting ICAN’s W**e & Wags as the Paws & Poses Sponsor. Between the pups, the people, and the mission behind it all, this one was an easy yes for us.

Growth, service, connection… and a few very good dogs.

Earlier this month, we welcomed another group of Rehab leaders to LEAD 1, marking our 12th leadership development cohort together.

12 cohorts.
12 groups of leaders.
One partnership that keeps growing.

And hearing Rehab VP Kevin Nelson call HRD* their “leadership-development partner” during the kickoff? That one meant a lot. 💙

We’re grateful for the trust and ready to get to work with cohort 12!

We’re proud to share that Dr. Ali Atkison, our VP of Learning & Development, will be presenting at The Diversity Roundtable’s 27th Annual Conference this September!

Her breakout session, “The Story We Tell Ourselves: Leading Through Difference with Strategic Curiosity,” will explore how the assumptions and stories we carry can shape the way we lead, communicate, and respond to others.

Attendees will gain practical insight into how strategic curiosity can help leaders navigate differences, strengthen relationships, and create more productive conversations across teams.

We’re excited for Ali to share her expertise with this year’s attendees and contribute to an important conversation about leading more thoughtfully and effectively.

Caring for residents starts with shaping the leaders who care for them.

Two weeks after SLEC, one thing continues to stand out: senior living organizations aren’t facing a leadership readiness crisis - they’re asking leaders to navigate unprecedented complexity without the support and tools they need.

A clear theme emerged throughout: leadership capability is a key driver of organizational success. At HRD*, we believe leadership development is more than a strategic priority - it’s an investment in the people who set the tone for their teams every day. When leaders grow, organizations create stronger workplace cultures, improve retention, enhance resident experiences, and achieve better outcomes.

Thank you to everyone who connected with us at the Senior Living Executive Conference in Nashville. We’re grateful for the conversations, insights, and shared commitment to developing the leaders who will help shape the future of senior living.

We’re promoting people into leadership roles they’re not prepared for - and hoping they figure it out. That’s a problem.
