The Future of Work Is Fractional
A Fractional Operators Fireside Conversation
Hosted by Rashel Hariri and The Fractional Community.
The way we build companies is changing.
More founders are choosing lean teams.
More executives are stepping out of full-time roles.
More companies are hiring fractional leaders instead of adding headcount.
Is this a temporary shift… or the next operating model?
Join us for a live panel conversation exploring how fractional leadership is reshaping the future of work in Northwest Arkansas and beyond.
We’ll unpack:
• Why top operators are opting out of traditional executive paths
• How to replace or exceed your full-time salary fractionally
• How to command authority and avoid being “part-time” in perception
• The math behind fractional vs full-time economics
• Where this model is heading over the next 5 years
Speakers:
Rebecca Black - Owner, Brand and Marketing Consultant, Black Ink
Scott Benedict - Principal Consultant, RETHINK Retail Advisory and Benedict Enterprises
Rashel Hariri - fCMO and Founder, RH Consulting
Jacob Herrington - Founder, CEO, Ordinal
We’re bringing together some of the most thoughtful builders in the room for a lively conversation about the future of work, with space afterward to connect and continue the discussion.
