WEBINAR
Tuesday, June 16, 2026
10 AM ET / 9 AM CT
As businesses grow, there often comes a point when experience, instinct, and “figuring it out as we go” are no longer enough to support the complexity of the organization.
In this Lakeside Chat, we’ll hear the real-world story of Yale Mechanical and the leadership decision to bring in outside HR support as the company continued to evolve.
Through an honest conversation between Dori Seegar and Amy Toppen, attendees will hear how an outside perspective became part of the leadership process, how trust was built over time, and what shifted as conversations around people, growth, and operations became more intentional and collaborative.
Whether your organization is growing quickly, navigating change, or simply feeling the pressure that comes with scaling a business, this conversation will offer practical insight into what leadership support can look like along the way.
