We are still processing this one.

The .people.agency and our Founder Leanna are proud to have been selected as part of Cohort 2 of the E1H Incubator.

Founded by Leanna 4 years ago, .people.agency was built to challenge how organisations think about people and culture. Not just hiring, but building structures that genuinely support growth, performance, and long term success.

Alongside this, Leanna has been developing our elite growth pathway under .elite.mgmt, Plyr.Pathways. A solution proactively focused on what happens after a career in elite football ends.

Plyr.Pathways is built on one clear mission:
Coaching and preparing elite athletes through inevitable career transition before their career ends.

Because talent alone is not a strategy.
And identity cannot be left until the final whistle.

Being part of the E1H Incubator provides the opportunity to sharpen both. To build in the right environment, with the right conversations, and alongside founders and experts solving real problems.

6 weeks.
Real work.
Real outcomes.
Real investment.

If you’re building a career in independent or fractional HR in the GCC, then read on this is for you.

TPA HR Entrepreneurs Community is co-hosting a session with CIPD Middle East, to help shape perspective on the independent HR practioner needs are and to catch up with how we actually work.

Many of us are no longer in one organisation. We’re advising, building, scaling and operating across multiple markets at once.

So the question is simple:

Is the CIPD still built for us?

If you’re operating independently:

What do you actually need from a membership body today?

Your answer should shape what comes next.

Join us for an online discussion and share your views.

You don’t have to be an active member but registration to the FREE session is required.

Sign up link is in the stories (spaces are limited) and you’ll be sent the details to join the call.

Friday 3rd April
Online: 9.30-11 GST

Entrepreneurship is not 24/7 hustle. It’s vision + wellness + community.

Things we wished we knew sooner…

Vision matters. Not just for business, but for your life. When you set clear intentions and map your goals, you move with intention from chaos to clarity.

Our first community event in Q1 2026 event is a guided Entrepreneurship focused Vision to Ex*****on vision board session hosted by the amazing Lydia-Elim Andrews. Lydia will help guide you to connect clarity, purpose with action.

If you are part of the TPA HR community, all Q1 events are live in the portal and included as part of your membership.

If you’re not part of the community but ready to build with intention and join a community that lifts you up, you can join by emailing [email protected]

See you at the Q1 events!

Magical night at the CIPD Middle East Awards ✨

It was an honour to be selected as a judge this year across two categories. Watching the winners receive their awards was a powerful reminder of why I chose this profession in the first place. At its core, HR exists to help people and organisations be their absolute best.

Congratulations to the entire CIPD team who worked so hard to deliver such a fantastic event.

Double binds shape leaders more than any strategy ever will and at our next entrepreneurs event we are unpacking this.

These invisible contradictions-where success demands sacrificing authenticity-are everywhere in leadership. We inherit them, often unconsciously, from societal expectations, past experiences, and even our own ambition.

Gwenhwyfar Dunne-Henry is a performance psychotherapist, founder of Performance Psychotherapy & Performance Psychotherapy Coaching® and creator of The Performance Psychotherapy Method®- an approach that integrates existential psychotherapy, executive coaching, and performance psychology to help elite athletes, leaders and teams achieve authentic, sustainable excellence.

An ex-organisational psychologist and Gallup coach, Gwen retrained as a Doctor of Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy before creating and founding her method. She is also an approved researcher with the DHA with research published soon.

Her upcoming book Unbind Me explores how identity, trauma, and performance intersect in modern life, helping readers unlearn the roles they perform and rediscover who they are beneath the act.

In this live session, limited spaces as Gwenhwyfar unpacks the invisible contradictions that define modern life-the double binds we all inherit that make us both successful and silently exhausted.

Struggling to attract and retain talent in a competitive market? Or do not know where to start when it comes to building an agile Compensation and Benefits strategy?

Competitive salary structures and clear pay practices aligned with HR and business goals are the building blocks of engagement and retention - but they are no longer a 'nice to have'; they are essential for any business. However, not every HR team or business has the luxury of a Compensation and Benefits team or partner.

If your HR team or business lacks understanding or expertise in this area, we've got you covered. Join us at our next HR Entrepreneur community event for an exclusive two-part session with Rob Green, Founder of Darwin Total Rewards, who will share practical insights on how to design strategies that have a real impact on your business. Rob brings over 20 years of global expertise, having worked across diverse sectors and organisations in the UK/US, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Dates: Friday 26th September and Friday 10th October 2025
Time: 9am - 11am
Location: Dubai Hills Business Park

What happens when sharp minds meet over dinner? Find out at The Thinking Room.

Leanna will be a table masters at this unique experience designed to spark ideas and tackle real leadership challenges. Picture this: a 3-course dinner at Quince, surrounded by curious thinkers and bold leaders, diving into topics like silent quitting and negotiation tactics.

This isn’t your typical networking event. It’s a space where conversations flow freely, insights are exchanged, and challenges are met with fresh perspectives. Whether you’re a founder, an executive, or simply navigating growth, you’ll leave with tangible ideas to take back into your world.

Seats are limited, so don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind evening hosted by and .dubai
