Six Degrees of Insight - Session 6/6 - July 2, 2026

Join us for Six Degrees of Insight - a webinar series brought to you by six local SHRM chapters.

Join us on Thursday, July 2nd, 2026 with The Transformation of HR: Leading Human Work in the Age of AI presented by Tamra Moroski.

Session Description: As AI accelerates productivity, a quieter shift is happening inside the workforce. Employees are questioning their relevance, their value, and even their identity. Burnout is rising, focus is fractured, and many leaders are sensing a deeper crisis of meaning beneath the metrics.

This moment is not simply technological. It’s transformational. AI is acting as a mirror, forcing individuals and organizations to confront what work is for, who we are without our output, and what kind of future we are designing. In this session, Tamra Moroski reframes the role of HR from managing resources to stewarding human transformation. Drawing on research in intrinsic motivation, psychological safety, and flow states, she explores how alignment, autonomy, and purpose directly influence performance and retention.

Learning Objectives:

• Reposition AI as a system optimizer rather than a speed amplifier
• Design for sustainable performance instead of chronic burnout
• Introduce regenerative work models that build innovation, resilience, and meaning
• Equip leaders with nervous system literacy as a modern leadership competency

Speaker Bio: Tamra Moroski is a transformation strategist and AI revenue leader helping organizations stay human in the age of artificial intelligence. With over 15 years navigating change across marketing and tech, she blends business strategy, mindfulness, and intentional AI frameworks to help leaders preserve agency, prevent burnout, and design a future where technology amplifies — not replaces — human potential.

Session Description: Today’s workplace is filled with pressure, uncertainty, and chronic stress. Organizations are investing billions in wellness programs, yet burnout, disengagement, and turnover remain at historic highs. Why?

Because burnout isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a misalignment problem.

In this powerful and personal keynote, Todd Bertsch shares the true story of transforming his company from survival mode to sustained growth—not by working harder, but by changing the fuel behind leadership decisions.

Through real leadership struggles, difficult personnel decisions, and the quiet rediscovery of his own creative spark, Todd reveals the difference between fear-based change and growth fueled by inspiration. He introduces the SPARK Framework—a practical, human-centered system that helps leaders and teams reignite curiosity, build mental resilience, take courageous action, and create lasting impact.

If you want more than temporary relief…
If you want momentum that lasts…
It’s time to stop choosing comfort—and ignite your spark.
