People Making Pasta

​What does making fresh pasta have to do with hiring and retaining great teams?

More than you think.

At People Making Pasta, we’re bringing together senior leaders from the people and talent community for a hands-on pasta-making experience. While we mix, roll, and shape fresh pasta together, we’ll explore the parallels between building a great dish and building a great team.

Hiring is part art, part craft.
So is pasta.

Both require:

• ​The right ingredients

• ​The right timing

• ​Patience and precision

• ​A clear standard for quality

• ​And a process that actually works

​
This is for senior People leaders, Talent leaders, and hiring operators who care deeply about building strong, durable teams. Especially those working inside high-growth environments where retention, alignment, and quality truly matter.

Expect:

• ​A guided pasta-making experience

• ​Real conversations about hiring and retention

• ​A room full of thoughtful operators

• ​No panels. No slides. Just substance
  

​We’ll unpack how craftsmanship, consistency, and intention apply directly to how we hire, onboard, and retain great people.

If you’re in the people and talent community and want to sharpen your approach while doing something memorable and tactile, this is for you.

Come make pasta.
Leave with sharper thinking around hiring.

Spots will be limited to keep the room intimate.
