Arm wrestling with leadership over learning initiatives and spending?

You’re not alone. Many HR, L&D, and Talent professionals struggle to get leadership buy-in, but the pushback isn’t always about the learning initiative. Actually, in a lot of cases, it’s because of a language barrier.

Whether we realize it or not, HR, L&D, and Talent professionals think, measure, and speak in a unique way about learning. And that dialect doesn’t always translate well for a leadership audience.

Join Tania Palen, a Director of Talent Management at Five9, as she shares her experience learning to speak C-suite.

Tania will take you through a step-by-step process to prepare a business case presentation that leadership can’t afford to say no to.

In this webinar, you’ll learn about: 

  • Framing the business opportunity.
  • Defining the right learning metrics to build the case for change.
  • Tying it all up into a compelling company narrative.
