This week, MenoPalz CEO and Co-Founder Raquel Riggle and Co-Founder Debbie McCarthy attended the SHRM Northern Nevada breakfast meeting, connecting with HR leaders focused on the future of the workforce.
Leadership expert Morgan Massie shared insights from her Five Coaching Conversations Model. One takeaway stood out:
Great leaders manage process. Exceptional leaders develop people.
The program also included a Legal Minute on workplace policies supporting employees through pregnancy, maternity, and other life transitions, along with insights from LP Insurance on the importance of health plan data and claims transparency. When organizations understand their data, they make stronger decisions about benefits, policy, and retention.
At MenoPalz, we believe menopause belongs in the same leadership conversation as maternity and caregiving. When organizations acknowledge the realities employees face across different stages of life, they strengthen culture, leadership, and long term workforce retention.
Grateful to connect with leaders across the SHRM Northern Nevada community, including Lauren Lutsch, Johnny Skowronek, Mark Tullman, and Karyn Jensen, and to reconnect with John Brownell of the Nevada National Guard as he prepares for retirement after an exceptional career of service.
Important conversations are happening. And we are proud to be part of them.
