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. 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.

Many organizations approach AI by asking where they can use it rather than what problem actually needs solving. According to Prezi CEO Jim Szafranski, that misstep is why so many AI initiatives fail to deliver real results. The companies that succeed aren’t the ones with the most advanced technology, they’re the ones that identify the right problems and focus on outcomes that truly matter.
Many managers treat one-on-ones as status updates, but the most effective leaders use them to build connection, clarity, and trust. As Diana Valler, Chief Human Resources Officer at TravelBrands Inc., explains, consistent and thoughtful one-on-ones signal that employees matter. When done well, these conversations strengthen psychological safety, surface challenges early, and drive stronger engagement.
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.
