💰 BLC SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: Denise Liebetrau

Compensation is about a whole lot more than the number on the paycheck.

How you approach total rewards, pay transparency, and compensation strategy can affect your ability to attract and retain talent—and whether your highest performers understand the value of what your organization is offering.

At the 2026 Jayhawk SHRM Business Leadership Conference, Denise Liebetrau will present Compensation Mistakes to Avoid, exploring total rewards, pay transparency, and how organizations and high performers can maximize their value.

And compensation mistakes? They can get expensive. 👀

Whether you work in HR, lead a team, own a business, or have a hand in making compensation decisions, this session will give you plenty to think about when you head back to work.

Compensation is an investment. Make sure you're getting it right.💰

🧭 BLC SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: Waller, SHRM-SCP

There isn't one “right” path to a successful career.

Sometimes the next step is obvious. Other times, it means making an intentional choice to change direction, take a risk, or redefine what success looks like for you.

At the **2026 Jayhawk SHRM Business Leadership Conference**, Bruce Waller, SHRM-SCP, will present **Choosing Your Own Path**, exploring how to make intentional career decisions, embrace change, and build a path that aligns with both your professional goals and personal values.

Because your career doesn't have to follow someone else's roadmap.

Whether you're considering what's next, navigating a transition, developing future leaders, or simply taking a closer look at where your own career is headed, this is a conversation worth being part of.

**Your career. Your goals. Your path.** 🧭

🏃 BLC SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: Matt Jones

HR is a marathon—not a sprint.

Careers change. Organizations change. Priorities shift. And sometimes the course you're running looks completely different from the one you thought you signed up for.

At the 2026 Jayhawk SHRM Business Leadership Conference, Matt Jones will present HR Is a Marathon, sharing how to navigate changing conditions, maintain perspective, and sustain long-term success throughout your career.

Because success isn't always about moving faster. Sometimes it's about knowing how to adjust your pace, keep moving forward, and stay focused on the long game.

Whether you're early in your HR career, have been doing this for decades, or lead people outside of HR, there's something to take away from this conversation.

The finish line isn't the goal. Building a career that can go the distance is. 🏁

10/05/2026

🤝 BLC SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT: Joe Hamilton III, MBA, SHRM-CP

What does civility actually look like in the workplace—and what happens when it starts to disappear?

At the 2026 Jayhawk SHRM Business Leadership Conference, Joe Hamilton III will tackle Civility in the Workplace, exploring how the way we interact with one another can impact conflict, teamwork, inclusion, and productivity.

And this isn't just an HR conversation.

Whether you're an HR professional, people leader, manager, or business owner, creating a workplace where people can disagree, communicate, and work together respectfully is part of building a stronger organization.

Join Joe and our full BLC speaker lineup for a day of practical conversations designed for the people who lead people.
