Not a Webinar, Panel, or Pitch.

Many HR and People leaders entered this work because they care deeply about growth, development, culture, and helping people thrive.

But the terrain is shifting.

AI is changing how expertise is created and accessed. Organizations are restructuring.
Leadership expectations continue to evolve.

The old signals that helped people understand their value—what they knew, what they produced, what problems they could solve—feel less stable than they once did.

This PopUpThinkTank with Jess Yocum explores a question hiding beneath many conversations about AI, talent, and transformation:

How do people understand how they matter when the systems they use to determine significance are changing?

We often think of scarcity as a lack of time, money, or resources. But another form of scarcity may be emerging: significance scarcity—uncertainty about how, or whether, our contribution creates value.

• What happens when expertise becomes more abundant?

• When leaders move from producing and solving toward enabling and developing others?

• When people can no longer clearly see the impact of their work?

Over 90 minutes, 25+ HR, People, and Transformation Leaders will explore these questions together through one shared challenge. This is not a webinar, panel, demo, or pitch.

There is no pressure to speak in front of the full group.

Instead, you'll contribute through a structured, facilitated conversation designed to surface insight from across the room.

Together, we'll explore whether significance is something we discover—or something we construct through relationships, contribution, and shared meaning-making.

You'll leave with meaningful new connections, greater visibility into how insight emerges, and the experience of helping co-create something usable. Most importantly, you'll see how your contribution shaped the conversation itself—and perhaps discover new ways organizations can help people understand how they matter.
