The Generation They Skipped: A Conversation About Untapped Talent with Brittanni Hendricks & Ron Klinger (Virtual Event)
LinkedIn Live Virtual Session
Thursday, April 16th | 6:30pm - 7:30pm
VIEW THE RECORDING HERE > The Generation They Skipped
Everyone is talking about Boomers.
Everyone is talking about Millennials.
Everyone is trying to figure out Gen Z.
And somehow… an entire generation got skipped.
Generation X has been quietly holding the line, leading teams, driving results, and bridging gaps no one else is equipped to handle. But here’s the problem: Most organizations still aren’t leveraging them intentionally. And at the same time, we’re seeing real gaps in leadership readiness, critical thinking, and what it actually takes to lead in today’s environment. So let’s talk about it!
Join us on LinkedIn as we unpack:
-
What’s been missed...
-
What’s costing organizations right now...
-
And what needs to shift moving forward...
If you lead people, or plan to, this is a conversation you don’t want to sit out!
Uncomfortable Truths: Why Talent Acquisition is Broken and What Actions Can Courageous Leaders Take TODAY! (In-Person Event)

Thursday, April 23rd | 7:00am - 6:00pm
To Learn More and Register to Attend: Texas Bay Area SHRM 2026 Annual HR Conference
Everyone is frustrated. From Talent Acquisition team members to hiring managers, to applicants, and candidates. Everyone is trying to find answers to help navigate one of the wildest job markets on record. Courageous HR leaders step up and find solutions to lead forward.
Solutions are what this session is all about.
-
How do we define Talent Acquisition in 2026? What about going forward
-
What are key actions you can take TODAY to remove the frustration?
-
What are the trends you need to know now? 5 years from now?
We will work together to define the past, present, and future of Talent Acquisition.
Why does this matter? Consider the following quote by Jim Colins, in his book Good to Great.
“If I were running a company today, I would have one priority above all others: to acquire as many of the best people as I could [because] the single biggest constraint on the success of my organization is the ability to get and to hang on to enough of the right people.”

For the summer of 2026 what do you want to accomplish and achieve?
In Charting Your Summer Journey: Riding the G‑WAVE for Goal‑Driven Growth, participants use the G‑WAVE Model to design a focused and meaningful summer strategy.

From Overwhelmed to Energized: Executing the Strategies That Matter Most
(In-Person Event)
Speaking Engagement - Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce
Non-Profit Executive Leadership Luncheon
Thursday, June 25th : 11:30pm - 1:00pm (CST)
You and your board have invested time, energy, and resources into building a strategic plan that reflects your mission, your community, and your future. Coming up with strategic initiatives is one thing, moving those into accomplished outcomes is another.
Have you ever looked at a beautifully crafted strategic plan and thought:
-
“Where do we even start?”
-
“Why does everything feel urgent and needing to have been done yesterday?”
-
“How do we make progress without burning out the team?”
This session will help you shift from doing everything to doing the right things. We’ll explore how to simplify, focus, and execute with clarity, even when the day‑to‑day whirlwind tries to pull you off course.
The session draws from the book, The Four Disciplines of Execution, and more than 20 years of real‑world experiences, trial‑and‑error, and the “School‑of‑Hard‑Knocks”. If you’re ready to take your strategic plan from “ta‑dah!” to “ta‑done.”, this lunch session is for you.

Attendees will also explore the Simply Connect Communications Model, a practical tool for navigating misunderstandings and turning miscommunication into meaningful connection.

In this final installment of the Summer of Insights series, you’ll take your working knowledge of Insights Discovery to a whole new level. Building on the foundation of the previous sessions, this experience focuses on recognizing and interpreting type in real time using the Insights Color Energies as your guide. When you’re willing to look closely, people “leak the truth” of who they are all day long, and Insights gives you the lens to understand what they’re showing you. By learning to read these cues and connect with intention, you can multiply your effectiveness, strengthen relationships, and elevate every interaction.
If you’re ready to sharpen your awareness, deepen your impact, and finish the summer with a powerful new skillset, register today and step into the next level of your Insights journey.
