A five-week intimate peer learning course designed to help you become a more confident and competent people leader.

I am thrilled to share some exciting news from Amplify.

The Hotel Cohort kicks off Monday, September 19th for a 5-week immersive and interactive course designed to help HR and people leaders build their learning agility and global network equity.

This will be the 8th Amplify Academy Cohort. To date, over 180 HR and people leaders from 20+ countries have experienced the unique peer learning experience, learning directly from some of today's most innovative and impactful Chief People Officers including Katie Burke, Pat Wadors, Colleen McCreary (Wheeler), Katarina Berg, Loren I. Shuster, AJ Thomas ⚡️, Lynne Oldham, Claude Silver, Nellie Peshkov, and more.

“After completing this cohort, I gained tons of confidence and was able to utilize many of the ideas within my day-to-day strategies and people projects.” - Nadia Vatalidis, TestGorilla Head of People & Culture

A Community-First Approach to Online Learning

Active learning, not passive watching

Cohorts aren't lectures. Lars won’t just talk to you, he’ll engage the class, facilitate breakout discussions, and leave plenty of time for Q&A. Think interactive seminar vs a massive lecture hall.

Learn with a cohort of peers

This course is designed to facilitate peer learning and interaction through Zoom breakout groups, an engaged Slack community, and group projects.

Tactics, templates, and case studies

Don't expect just theory and principles. We learn best by applying what we learn to our day-to-day work. Expect to walk away from each week with the next steps to improve your effectiveness as a people leader.

Alumni network and continued learning beyond the course

The course's end is just the beginning. Your Grow membership includes one free year of access to the Amplify Academy Learning Lab and Slack community.

"The Amplify Academy cohort and ongoing community gave me the knowledge, perspective, and confidence to move into a c-level talent role. I consider it one of the best investments I've made in myself and grateful to be surrounded by phenomenal people leaders to learn from every day." - Thuy Le - Chief Talent Officer, El Education
