Students from the upcoming October cohort will learn from world-class guest instructors from Hubspot, VaynerMedia, Upwork, and WorkTech.
When I designed the Amplify Accelerator Cohort program I wanted to create a new type of platform to build readiness, learning, and network equity for the next generations of people leaders. A program designed specifically for working practitioners with a mix of synchronous and async learning and a community that would last long beyond the four-week course.
It was always my intention to bring in world-class guest instructors to inspire and teach the students. Leaders who’ve been operating at the vanguard of HR and are reshaping how their organizations, and the broader field, think about building adaptive and inclusive companies that support all employees.
“The traditional education and learning systems in HR are still largely rooted in legacy mindsets and practices. They’re not equipped to keep pace with the dynamic times we’ve experienced since the events of 2020 - and beyond. The Accelerator is designed to build courses, resources, and community emerging people executives need to build the skills necessary for HR leaders of the future. ”
The past two cohorts featured world-class leaders including Katelin Holloway, Tiffany Stevenson, Al Adamsen, and AJ Thomas who shared their deep expertise with the Alpha and Bravo cohort students. I’m thrilled to introduce the guest instructors for the upcoming Charlie Cohort (October) of the Amplify Accelerator!

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this course for?
This course will be most meaningful for current first-time Head of People, #2 or #3 HR leaders in larger organizations, functional leaders on a CPO path, and mid-senior practitioners wanting to level up their capabilities.
How many students will be in each cohort?
The cohorts are capped at 50 students.
Do I need to attend every session?
To get the most from the cohort experience you should try to attend every live/synchronous session. I realize that's not always possible, and many students don't have perfect attendance. All of the Tuesday "Learning" sessions with guest instructor presentations will be recorded and available for on-demand viewing the next day. The Thursday breakout group discussions will not be recorded.
Will I have access to the learning materials after the course?
Yes - all of the learning materials will remain available to you through a platform designed specifically for each cohort.
Will I have access to the community after the course?
Yes - your cohort membership includes lifetime access to the Redefining HR Accelerator community and your private cohort channel you'll use for connecting and collaborating with your cohort peers before, during, and after the course.
