What HR is Being Blamed for in 2026

  • “The coaching wasn’t just professional. It shifted how I show up in every part of my life. I’ve never experienced a program that was so personally meaningful while still driving business results.”

    Jenn Bellotto, Human Resources Manager, ISL

  • “We’ve seen people 20–25 years into their careers come out of this with totally new levels of self-awareness. They’re recognizing blind spots, owning their impact, and shifting how they lead. You can feel it. There’s a shift in language, in confidence, in how people lead.”

    Randy Heaps, Chief People and Administrative Officer, ISL

  • “It fundamentally shifted how our teams communicate. There’s more trust, more ownership, and more clarity in how we work. The quality of conversations has changed completely.”

     Jenn Bellotto, Human Resources Manager, ISL

  • “I realized how my speed and always trying to move fast and make decisions was coming across as dismissive. I’ve changed how I listen, how I write, how I show up for people. This program made that shift possible.”

    Kevin Terness, Chief Executive Officer, ISL
