jaime,

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, my favorite fun holiday. I am in Ireland now with my son who's studying abroad this semester, we head to Spain tomorrow. Grab a Guinness and read on - smart insights, no blarney. ☘️

 

Lately in my conversations with many CEOs, a theme seems to be that managers need development to evolve as they take on bigger roles leading people. From finding their courageously authentic self, to learning the skills around performance management as a tool to improve engagement and retention to having courageous conversations. Performance conversations are some of the most important moments a leader has with their team. Done well, they create clarity, build trust, and open the door to real growth. This month, we’re exploring how to make those conversations more thoughtful, more effective, and more human.
