A run-in in a bathroom kicked off the idea
Our founder, Karan Ferrell-Rhodes, came up with the idea of Conferrr after speaking at a business conference. During a break following her keynote, numerous attendees cornered her in the restroom, each one inquiring for personal time to talk about confidential issues they were facing at work.
While such requests were not new to Karan, her “ah-ha moment” came when one of the attendees stated, “I’m really struggling to navigate my situation alone, and I’m vain about letting anyone at my company know. I would treasure bouncing ideas off of you to gut-check my thinking, off the record of course.” The encounter piqued Karan’s curiosity of many others were suffering a similar situation, and after extensive research, decided to launch Conferrr.
In reality, most individuals spend half their lives dealing with the pressures of complexities at work, which at times can feel isolating and lonely when not sure about your best next step.
We at Conferrr believe access to affordable, discreet HR/workplace-related advice and counsel should be available to everyone at every career stage, before their job performance or reputation is on the line. We’re disrupting how individuals receive confidential, personalized help solving major issues at work, by providing end-to-end workplace support for executive leaders and professionals alike.
Conferrr, a division of Shockingly Different Leadership (SDL), is a tele-advisory service that offers on-demand, CHRO-level strategic advice and counsel from “HR Consiglieres”, via online consultations. If you find that you need more in-depth consulting or solutions post-conversation, you are able to access SDL’s team of over 350 experts, along with its full suite of consulting services.
In addition, Conferrr offers a world-class member community that provides peer support, an answer vault of resources, updates on workplace-related hot topics, and masterclasses from distinguished speakers.
Conferrr fills the need of helping you with your decision-making, as you weigh viable options to drive to a better outcome before presenting your ideas to other stakeholders that matter.
Our goal is to spare you the issue of “navigating” work-related challenges alone.
