Description:
In today’s fast-paced, high-pressure HR environment, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly racing — supporting employees, leaders, organizational goals, and your personal life — often at the expense of your own well-being. The truth? You can’t win the race alone.
The Inside Track: Winning Through Authentic Connection explores why building authentic relationships is not just good for your well-being — it’s a strategic advantage. This interactive, uplifting session equips HR professionals with practical tools to foster connection across all levels of the organization, strengthen collaboration, and combat burnout.
Participants will engage in fun, approachable activities designed to help even the most introverted professionals build meaningful relationships — setting the stage for richer networking at Keeneland and beyond.
Learning Objectives:
By participating in this session, attendees will be able to:
- Identify how authentic connections serve as a competitive advantage for HR professionals navigating burnout, overwhelm, and organizational demands.
- Apply practical communication strategies to foster stronger connections with leaders, peers, and teams — even in high-pressure environments.
- Practice simple, approachable techniques to build relationships in professional settings, including structured networking opportunities like the Keeneland event.

Transfer and Refund Policy
BGSHRM strives to provide quality events that are educational in content and rich in networking opportunities. We place emphasis on the humans in Human Resources and value the shared experience of our peers and comrades who are working to create safe and productive environments for their employees. We have designed chapter meeting fees to be as low as possible.
Because of rising costs in our community, your regular member registration fee covers the program related expenses and is not a fundraiser for the chapter. As such, all payments for registration to BGSHRM events are non-refundable. If an event must be rescheduled by the chapter (i.e. severe weather in which travel is prohibited or impractical, our community is placed under pandemic restrictions, etc), we will apply your payment to a future event.
If you are unable to attend a meeting, you may request a transfer to another scheduled event or you may gift your registration to the current event to someone else following the guidelines below. To make a transfer request, please email communications@bgshrm.org.
- If the transfer request is made before 7 calendar days in advance of the event you may transfer your registration to another scheduled event or gift your registration to the current event to someone else.
- If the transfer request is made within 7 calendar days in advance of the event, you may gift your registration to someone else. This is a wonderful way to introduce your peers, managers, or leaders to ideas and information that will benefit your organization (and help them understand that HR is a strategy-based role)!
- If you cannot attend in person, you may utilize the Zoom link sent to all registered attendees to join us online. Event links are sent to your registered email address, please check your spam folders or email filtering systems as we do not honor transfer requests for "lost links."
- Individuals who have registered to attend online may not switch to in-person after registration has closed as that is the cutoff date required by the venue for event planning.
- No transfer requests made after the event has passed will be considered.
