The labor market is changing and employers are looking for talent wherever they can find it; even in YOUR team! In this episode I discuss the factors that are driving a “poach risk” for employers and outline foundational strategies for improving retention and engagement.

In this episode we talk about Industrial Age mentalities and methods and why those who continue to practice them are ALREADY at the edge of extinction.

As Leaders and Managers it’s critical that we have a working knowledge of both hearing AND listening. Do you know the difference? In this episode we explore both terms and how they can be used to create an improved employee communication experience.

In this episode we look more closely at the GAP - specifically as it relates to communication. We touch on the challenges of recruiting and retaining talent in the global workplace and talk about why hearing is SO important!
