On the October 5, 2026 HR Huddle, Tamera Loerzel and Jennifer explore how talent leaders can use the window between fall deadlines and year-end to intentionally prepare for 2027. They discuss opportunities to express gratitude for team member efforts so far, reconnect with team members, evaluate career advisor assignments and ensure the right pairing for rising leaders, check in on key transitions happening to ensure transition is happening, including capturing valuable knowledge before key transitions, and plan for evolving talent and technology needs. Rather than waiting for the new year to determine what's next, talent leaders can use this time to take proactive steps that position their people and firm for a strong start to 2027.

On the September 28, 2026 HR Huddle, Tamera Loerzel and Jennifer Wilson explore why regularly pruning non-ideal clients is an important growth, capacity, and talent retention strategy for firms. They discuss how letting go of some of the "sea of work" that can overwhelm your talent can create room for your people to feel like they are "winning at work" as they deepen relationships with ideal clients, deliver more transformative value, and invest time in innovation and AI. Talent leaders can help make this shift happen by partnering across the firm to strategically identify where capacity is being consumed by clients that are not the right fit and intentionally redirect partners and team members on the clients and priorities that will move the firm forward.

On August 21, 2026 Leadership Lunch Chat, Jennifer Wilson and Amy Vetter explore why open communication and trust are essential to successfully navigating AI and other significant firm transformations. They discuss how leaders can create greater psychological safety by showing vulnerability, approaching new business strategies, processes, or technology with a beginner's mindset, and intentionally inviting honest feedback and dialogue. By replacing assumptions and defensiveness with curiosity and collaborative, "palms-up" conversations, leaders can surface concerns earlier, engage their people in solutions, and build the trust needed to move change forward.

On the August 10, 2026 HR Huddle, Jennifer Wilson and Samantha Mansfield explore why transition should be an ongoing firm-wide practice—not something that begins when retirement is on the horizon. By building habits to transfer knowledge, develop others, and delegate responsibilities as people advance, firms strengthen their leadership pipeline and prepare for change at every level. In addition, making transition part of your regular practice reduces disruption when retirements and other long- or short-term changes occur.
