Why people leaders believe in the room.

There’s a real need for this type of community and connection to these critical partners.

NHL’s community doesn’t just support my practice; it challenges my thinking from people who are in my seat.

I love the clarity of purpose behind Next Horizon Leadership and the intentional way you’re bringing leaders together around the future of talent, leadership, and AI.

This resonates deeply. Too many leaders are navigating profound change in isolation. Building a connected community at the intersection of leadership, AI, and org design is exactly what this moment needs.

You have always been about connecting people and experiences, not just filling roles. Creating a space for leaders to think together about what comes next feels both timely and needed.

Questions, answered.

How can I join?

By introduction. Tell us which community fits your role and a little about where you sit, and the team comes back to you. Many members come in on a peer’s nomination; if nobody has put your name forward yet, reach out anyway and we will take it from there.

How will the community benefit me?

Two ways. It makes you better at the job you have: a private room where you can ask peers what something really costs, how they structured a team, or what they would do on Monday, and get a straight answer. And it moves your career: personal introductions, private dinners, career clinics, and a talent profile that keeps you visible to the right people without you working a network on the side.

What does “powered by Findem” mean?

Findem is NHL’s talent-intelligence partner. Their data is what sits behind the benchmarks and market reads members ask for, and every membership includes Findem Studio access, with larger packages at the deeper tiers. You never touch Findem yourself: it is the intelligence behind what The Talent Advisors propose.

How do partners engage with members?

Vetted partners (search firms, AI innovators, and organizational-design experts) join by application and reach members only through curated introductions, demo days, and briefings. Never cold outreach.

Who is the community for?

Sitting CHROs and CPOs, and rising HR and talent leaders a member would vouch for. Colleagues from the same company may join. Search firms, AI companies and advisors are part of the wider ecosystem and reach members only through curated introductions; they do not hold seats in the room. Read our core values for who belongs here and what we ask from each member.

Is it confidential?

Yes: off the record, always. What’s shared in the community stays in the community.

A seat at the table.

Sitting CHRO or CPO, or a rising leader a member would vouch for? The first step is a quiet introduction.
