Engagements
Speaking, training, and facilitation.
For more than a decade, invited into rooms where HR leaders gather to think out loud about the future of the field.
Conferences, keynotes, training sessions, board offsites, and the kind of conversations that don’t fit on a slide.
The throughline across all of it is the same one that runs through Neoma: HR is not paperwork. It is the work of building places where people can do their best work and be treated like they matter while they do it.
Three Ways to Engage
One voice, three formats.
Speaking
Keynotes and conference talks.
For conferences, association meetings, and leadership events where the audience needs a perspective on where HR is going and what it should be doing about it. Adrienne speaks plainly, with conviction, and with the kind of energy and humor that keeps an audience leaning in. Engaging, fun, and grounded in real work.
Training
Skills-based sessions for teams.
For HR teams, leadership groups, and managers who need to actually learn something they can use the next day. Format is built to fit the team, anywhere from a focused two-hour session to a multi-day program.
Facilitation
Workshops, offsites, and difficult conversations.
For groups that need to work through something together. Strategy offsites, leadership retreats, board planning sessions, or the kind of conversation that benefits from someone in the room who isn’t inside the politics.
