Why I Created Sphere

I’ve spent more than 18 years in Human Resources, from generalist roles to executive leadership, and now consulting and coaching. Across those roles, I gained perspective not only on organizations, but on the people doing the work.

Over the years, I’ve seen how much HR professionals give. Supporting teams. Guiding decisions. Navigating complexity. And too often, their own development becomes secondary. I’ve lived that tension myself. I continue to meet talented HR professionals who want to think more strategically and take greater ownership of their path, but struggle to create the space to do so.

That’s why I created Sphere.

Sphere is designed to help HR professionals build strategic clarity, expand their influence, and grow into trusted, forward-thinking partners within their organizations.

It’s a space to slow down and think. To test ideas. To ask better questions. To receive thoughtful feedback.

Sometimes that means learning from others. Sometimes it means stepping forward, all within a space designed to support you.

Sphere is for HR professionals who want to stay ahead of what’s coming, sharpening their strategic mindset, learning alongside peers, and strengthening their role as trusted partners.

If you’re ready to move forward with greater clarity, stronger influence, and a community that supports your growth, you’re in the right place.
