Details about the event
The achieveCPR™ philosophy is simple. Our organizations are stretching toward bold ambitions, but our people internally are still operating on yesterday's model. The tension is building. And it's time to breathe life back in.
CPR Live brings top HR and People leaders together for a morning of practitioner-led panels, peer exchange, and real conversation about what it takes to raise the level of aspiration & innovation. Not just for the business, but for our people, our function, and ourselves as leaders. You won't just leave inspired. You'll leave sharper as a leader, with new ideas to apply, and a community of peers 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. Practitioner panels share the real plays. Peer exchanges let you compare notes with people facing the same challenges. And the networking gives you the relationships that keep paying off long after you leave.

Opening Panel | Achieve Culture
Building the Foundation: How Leading Organizations Are Making Culture Intentional, Durable, and Tied to Business Outcomes
Culture isn't a perk or a poster on the wall, it's the operating system of your organization. This panel brings together practitioners who are actively doing the work of defining, reinforcing, and evolving culture in high-growth, high-pressure environments. They'll share the real plays of what's working, what they had to stop doing, and how they're measuring what matters.

Peer EXchange #1 | Achieve Culture
Small group peer discussion: What does "achieving culture" look like in your organization right now and where are the gaps? Breakout conversations on your biggest achieve CPR™ challenges

Panel #2 | Achieve Performance
Building the Engine: Modern Performance Systems That Drive Execution, Accountability, and Growth
Performance management is broken at most companies, everyone knows it, few have fixed it. This panel features leaders who are redesigning how their organizations set expectations, develop capability, and hold people accountable in ways that actually fuel execution rather than create compliance theater. From goal alignment to manager enablement to performance enablement redesign — this is the practitioner conversation the industry needs.

Panel #3 | Achieve Retention
Sustaining the Signal: How High-Growth Companies Are Keeping Their Best People — Without Relying on Perks
Retention isn't a program. It's the outcome of a healthy system. When culture is working and performance is clear, people stay because they're growing, connected, and confident in their future. This panel explores what the highest-retention organizations are actually doing: career architecture, meaningful recognition, manager effectiveness, and designing experiences where staying is the obvious choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this approved for SHRM and HRCI credits?
+
Yes. All achieve Engagement programs are pre-approved for SHRM and HRCI recertification credits. You'll receive your certificate of completion within a few business days after the event, ready to submit.
How can I stay connected with this network beyond the event?
+
Join the Leadership Network. It's the year-round home for the conversations that start at CPR Live. All attendees get 50% off their first year, plus access to monthly masterclasses, peer-to-peer learning circles, expert AMAs, and a community of People leaders building alongside you. The event is the spark. The leadership network is where the work continues.
Can I bring a friend or colleague?
+
Yes, and we love when this becomes a team learning experience. Growing together is how the work actually sticks when you get back to the office. If you think someone should be in the room with us, invite them. Share the link, have them register, and we'll lock a seat down for them. The more People leaders thinking bigger together, the better.
What should I expect to walk away with?
+
Three things. Sharper thinking on Culture, Performance, and Retention. A network of peers you can actually call when you're stuck. And a clearer sense of what to stop, start, and double down on when you get back to the office. Inspiration is nice. We're after impact.
Who is this event actually for?
+
HR and People leaders ready to think bigger. CHROs, VPs of People, Directors, and senior practitioners who are tired of incremental thinking and ready to raise the level of aspiration for their function. Whether you're leading a team of 5 or 500, if you're here to grow as a leader and build something better, you're in the right room.
