The Sierra Institute

An invitation-only community of senior HR leaders committed to the advancement of our Organization, our Communities, and Ourselves. The Sierra Institute Mission is Supported by Our Values: Honesty This is foundational. Honesty is a building block for trust. TSI Fellows are honest with themselves and with each other. Empathy We strive to understand before being understood, because that is how we best learn from and support each other. Trust We treat what we hear and say within TSI with extreme discretion. You can trust that what is shared does not leave the group. Humor While we are very serious about what we do, we are not so serious about ourselves. We relish the opportunity to see the humor in our lives and in each other. Curiosity We are a community of life-long learners who use TSI as an integral part of both personal and professional evolution. Excellence We believe a fulfilled life is best realized through the pursuit of excellence in all endeavors. Since its founding in 2003, The Sierra Institute (TSI) has been pursuing a simple Vision – to provide a safe place for top HR leaders to hone their craft and form powerful relationships. This idea arose out of the simple recognition that CHROs face truly lonely circumstances – who are you supposed to go to for help when you most need it? TSI primarily fulfills this Vision by hosting 2 meetings each year, in wonderful locations around the US. Throughout its history, TSI has fulfilled its Vision by focusing on 3 things – Great People, Great Content, and Great Relationships. We invite and attract whole People; people who are balanced with broad and varied interests. We trust and promote the creation of powerful ideas and supportive Relationships, relationships that are fostered 365 days a year. We actively seek out speakers who provide thought-provoking ideas that fuel Content-rich discussions.
