Kerafonic ,

Wonderfully insightful!

This is time well spent to stop by & hear real talk from smart and accessible people in the benefits world. They make everything easy to understand and digestible while keeping it fun and light with great guests. Thomas & Jason do a great job with this pod!

Culture of Feedback

I just listened to a podcast about the culture of feedback, and I must say, our former HR Director, Kara Ferguson, absolutely hit the bullseye. Her insights were spot on and truly impressive. It makes me extremely proud to see a former colleague from Indy Auto Man taking the lessons from our used car dealership in Indiana and successfully applying them in a highly respected company.

This experience serves as a powerful reminder that regardless of the industry you work in, building strong relationships within an organization is essential. Embracing a Culture of Feedback can lead to extraordinary outcomes that may have seemed unimaginable before. Kudos to Kara and the team for their incredible achievement!
