Our Story
Since 2010, HIC has partnered with organizations to transform how leaders lead and how teams perform. Rather than focusing on standalone initiatives, HIC helps companies turn managers into measurable business and people drivers through practical, real-time leadership development.
Our approach is built around management performance, aligning leadership behaviors directly to business priorities, ownership, and decision-making. This ensures organizations build teams that deliver stronger results, retain high performing talent, and scale performance across the organization.
Through cohort-based learning, applied leadership labs, and measurable success frameworks, HIC enables managers to apply new skills immediately, creating sustainable behavior change in real time and driving lasting team impact.

Partnering with organizations across industries to drive success through innovative strategies and transformative workplace solutions.
Netta was a dynamic keynote speaker for our event focused on Building Belonging in our workplaces and communities. Not only was she wonderful to work with through all phases of the engagement, but her willingness to share personal and powerful stories helped to make for a meaningful and memorable experience for our attendees. I highly recommend Netta and look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with her again in the future.
Netta is very passionate about her work and is a natural at connecting people. She has a great personality with a positive attitude.
I really liked how Netta integrated some interactivity to challenge the audience’s assumptions about ERGs and inclusion. It allowed me to pause and explore a new perspective.
Netta’s left a large audience feeling reinvigorated to infuse inclusive practices after her keynote . They left with concrete tools and strategies to begin implementing in my work.

HR leaders have invested heavily in healthcare access, expanding plans, networks, and digital tools. Yet employees remain overwhelmed when navigating diagnoses, conflicting medical advice, and complex care decisions. In conversations with CareCrowd co-founders Dr. Mary Nwoke and Nnamdi Nwoke, one insight stood out: the real gap isn’t access, it’s the absence of continuous guidance when employees need it most.
At this week’s HIC Executive Roundtable, senior HR leaders reached a shared conclusion: the nine-box framework isn’t wrong, but it’s no longer enough. As Sarah Patterson, Chief People Officer at Limble, highlighted, static labels fail to capture how talent actually grows, adapts, and drives impact in today’s fast-moving organizations. Forward-thinking leaders are shifting toward dynamic, real-time ways of evaluating performance, potential, and business value.
High-potential talent doesn’t develop by chance. In a recent conversation, Megan Podzorov, Chief People Officer at Janus Henderson Investors, shared how the firm takes a deliberate approach to identifying and growing future leaders. Through structured talent reviews, cross-functional calibration, and intentional exposure, the organization treats leadership development with the same discipline it applies to investment decisions.
