BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Show Up

It is not about winning, it is not about losing. It is about showing up and being seen.

~Brene Brown

It’s no secret that I am passionate about the work I do at Apex. One of the things I love most about my job is seeing and hearing about the transformational effect a human-centred approach to leadership has on an organisation via its people. I love that I get to advocate and introduce this approach to so many people. Understandably, some are cautious about changing the way they have always done things – it can be scary to shake up the status quo. It can feel daunting to put down the traditional rulebook and commit to doing things differently. But I am proud of the commitment I witness every day with our clients who are out there trying to build better workplaces. They are showing up and embracing new normals – better normals. And in doing so, are surrounded by happier people who are more engaged, more motivated, and more dedicated to their work.

I love this quote from Brene Brown, it can be applied to so many scenarios. I was thinking about it today after a great meeting with a client; a leader who wants to do right by his people. He knows it’s trial and error. He knows he may not get it right all the time. But he is showing up.

People are unpredictable and complex and so leading people can be a real challenge. But sometimes it isn’t about winning or losing; it’s about showing up and being seen.

Seen to be trying, seen to be trusting, seen to be understanding, seen to be listening, seen to be responding, seen to be appreciative, seen to be a person who wants to do the right thing. That’s what gains respect and credibility.

I believe in a better world of work. I believe in a world where leaders recognise and celebrate their people for who they are as well as what they do. A world where organisations see the person first, employee second. Where people are listened to, heard, valued, and appreciated. Where complex human messiness is embraced and celebrated. I am passionate about humanising workplaces and putting the human back into HR. It’s time for change. As a self-proclaimed HR rebel, I am always ready to challenge the status quo and look at things from a human-centred approach that puts people before process and policies. One conversation at a time…
