Why Work with the EX Leadership Network?
What Members Are Saying
A Community That Understands You
“HR is a lonely place…once you get to the top dog level of HR, it can feel like you don’t have any friends… It’s a lonely place. You really can’t talk to anybody about the things that are going on. That's why this community is so important.”
“The HR/People space is lonely, so the community is a fresh breath of air. It makes it feel like we are not alone, that others are facing the same challenges.”
A Space to Thrive Together
“I have loved how this community created an environment where we don’t feel the need to be in competition with one another; when one person is successful, it enables others to thrive as well. It doesn’t threaten another.”
“What I want to know are real-world examples of how people did things, how it was successful, and maybe what they would have preferred to have done instead of what was done—found this to be so powerful within this group.”
Authentic, Actionable Conversations
“This space has become the area that I can share real info, with others that understand my world, and keeps me inspired by having the right conversations.”
“I think it’s really important to communicate with others that are in the same industry or in the same field, brainstorm, and [build] off of each other. I have appreciated this experience in this community.”
Why we started this:
From Zech,
HR leadership can feel isolating. I’ve been there—striving to build a thriving culture, deliver measurable results, and navigate the constant demands of shaping the employee experience. Too often, leaders like you are left without the tools, guidance, or community you need to truly excel.
That’s why I created the EX Leadership Network.
You join this community because you’re ready to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and impact. You’re tired of reinventing the wheel or tackling challenges without a trusted group to lean on. Here, you’ll find the tools, strategies, and support to grow—not just as an HR leader, but as a transformational force in your organization.
The truth is, leading Employee Experience is no longer just about processes and policies. It’s about driving innovation, inspiring change, and creating workplaces where people thrive. To do that, you need a system, a community, and world-class insights to keep you moving forward.
That’s what the EX Leadership Network is: your strategic partner in growth. It’s a space to challenge old frameworks, connect with ambitious leaders, and refine your approach to building the future of work.
I’ve spent years helping leaders navigate these challenges, distilling the best practices, tools, and strategies to share with you. Every session, masterclass, and exchange is built to equip you with what you need to thrive.
Enter this space with me and with a network of people who truly understand your journey. Together, we’ll elevate your leadership, create meaningful change, and build workplaces that are vibrant, inclusive, and resilient.
It’s time to prioritize your growth and lead at the next level. You belong here, and I can’t wait to see how far we’ll go together.
Join the EX Leadership Network today and unlock your next chapter as a leader.
