Begin a
conversation.

If any of this resonates — or, more usefully, if you disagree and want to argue — I am glad to talk. A first conversation is free: sixty minutes, no deck.

Q · A few questions, answered in advance

Practical things
people ask first.

01. What does a first conversation look like?

Sixty minutes, free, no deck. We talk about what is on your desk, what matters most, and what good would look like. If there is no fit, you still have a candid second opinion.

02. Who is the mentoring for?

It was designed for first-time CHROs, and is equally useful to experienced ones who want a senior counterpart with no stake in their organisation other than their success.

03. Where is the work done — in person or by video?

Mentoring sessions are monthly, around ninety minutes, in person or by video. Senior-team advisory is shaped to the challenge: sometimes a workshop, sometimes a short intensive, sometimes longer work with the CHRO.

04. What do senior HR teams get from the work?

A clearer translation of company strategy into the people work that matters: which roles move the numbers, which capabilities are missing, which behaviours must change, and what the function should stop doing.

05. Is this a fixed methodology?

No. Engagements are sized to what the challenge needs, not to a template. Some resolve in a single workshop that ends an argument. Some require six weeks of intensive work.

06. Where is Hein based?

Hein lives in Amsterdam and, increasingly often, in Arezzo. He runs, reads broadly, and spends more time on opera than is strictly defensible.
