After more than two decades in HR, Sarah shares why Workhuman Live remains the one conference she returns to every year—and how attending solo opened unexpected opportunities for growth, connection, and courage. Together, Anna and Sarah explore the power of curated dinners, fringe events, and authentic relationship-building in an increasingly digital world. The conversation highlights why trust, generosity, and human connection continue to outperform transactional networking. Sarah also opens up about her entrepreneurial journey—from leaving traditional HR paths to building a fractional consulting business—and the mindset shifts required to create something meaningful on your own terms.

    2026/05/23
    Recorded live after WorkHuman Live in Orlando, Florida, host Anna Morgan is joined by guests Sam Eaton and Miles Pell to explore the conversations that often matter most at conferences — the ones that happen after keynote sessions end and people connect as humans rather than job titles. Together, they discuss why leaders, founders, HR professionals, and vendors are craving experiences beyond transactional networking. The conversation explores trust in the future of work, the renewed importance of in-person connection, and why emotionally intelligent community-building is becoming a competitive advantage. They unpack conference FOMO, networking anxiety, psychological safety, and why meaningful opportunities often come from curiosity and authentic relationships rather than scripted business development. The discussion also examines how curated dinners and community-centered experiences create long-term ROI through collaboration, mentorship, and unexpected partnerships.
