Three courses. Three conversations. No slides. No pitches.

Join us for the first In Good Company Reading Chapter gathering, an intimate progressive roundtable dinner bringing together 15 senior HR and People leaders to explore how AI, data, and technology can drive meaningful business impact.

Over three courses, we’ll introduce three conversation prompts designed to move beyond the AI hype and into the questions People leaders are actually navigating. Each course brings a new topic, new perspectives, and an opportunity to learn directly from the experiences of peers around the table.

What to expect:

• Three courses paired with three facilitated conversations

• Candid discussion about AI, data, technology, and the evolving role of HR

• An intimate group of senior HR and People leaders

• Practical ideas and perspectives you can take back to your organization

• No presentations, no pitches, just thoughtful peer conversation

Shruti Choubey Nikki Hughes

Hi, I'm Kerry, Head of HR for a law firm, Stephensons, based across the UK. Although my office is based in North West England I live in the glorious Welsh countryside. The joys of hybrid working 😊 I have a small generalist HR team of 4 (including Bob!)

Looking forward to connecting 👋

Hi everyone, I’m Antonia. I’m based on the beautiful Gold Coast and work with organisations across Australia and New Zealand.

After finishing up as a Head of People at the end of 2024, I founded The PX Collective. I help leaders understand what’s really driving challenges such as declining engagement, rising turnover, team friction, change fatigue, or an executive team that isn’t operating at its best, and then create a practical plan to improve it. I also provide executive coaching because leadership and people experience go hand in hand.

After years inside a large organisation, working for yourself can feel a little lonely. My puppy listens intently but doesn’t add much to the conversation, so I’m looking forward to connecting and sharing ideas here.

I’m also Co-VP Networks on the AHRI Queensland State Council and Convenor of the AHRI Gold Coast Network. If you’re interested in getting involved or coming along to an event, let me know.

You can also connect with me on Antonia Buckman | LinkedIn

Hello! I'm excited to be here. I'm new-ish to the Raleigh-Durham area and looking for other creatives to sync with and build community. I also run a side business with my husband as a DJ - we call ourselves Velvet Devereaux. Looking for inspiration connections!
