Employee Experience is powerful work—but for many leaders, it can also feel isolating. While building the EX function, leaders are often navigating complex stakeholder dynamics, earning buy-in, and proving business impact at the same time.

To support this journey, KennedyFitch introduces the Employee Experience Leaders Circle: a small, curated peer group designed specifically for Employee Experience leaders.

A trusted space for real EX challenges

The EX Leaders Circle is a small, curated peer group where Employee Experience leaders come together to discuss real challenges, exchange perspectives, and leave with practical next steps.

Each session is grounded in real cases brought by participants, ensuring that conversations are relevant, actionable, and immediately applicable.

Through facilitated peer dialogue, you gain:

  • Honest perspectives from experienced peers
  • Constructive challenge in a confidential setting
  • Fresh ideas and alternative approaches
  • Clear, actionable next steps

Why EX leaders join

EX leaders often operate at the intersection of high expectations and organisational complexity. Having access to a trusted group of peers can make a meaningful difference.

This circle provides:

  • A confidential forum for real EX dilemmas
  • Perspective from others facing similar challenges
  • Guided dialogue that turns reflection into action
  • Meaningful connections with peers shaping EX in their organisations

What you can bring

Typical topics include:

  • Earning buy-in for Employee Experience
  • Explaining EX more clearly within the organisation
  • Navigating stakeholder resistance and internal politics
  • Securing executive sponsorship and demonstrating ROI
  • Building EX capability with limited resources
  • Turning employee feedback into meaningful action
