People + Culture Keynote Speaker and Consultant | COMS & MBA Faculty | Tweets about employee engagement & retention and internal communication strategies.
I had a wonderful time this morning presenting at @ConnectSeasonal and @PabianLaw’s 2024 Staffing Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida. 🏝️☀️
We talked all things employee burnout, wellbeing, and engagement together, AND please look at this incredible venue - the Colony Hotel. 🤩
If I only occasionally told my children that I cared about and valued them, how might it shape our relationship? 🤔
Let's ask the same question about our team members.
Because the messages we don't send will shape our relationships just as much as the messages we do send. 💡
I had a great time in Amarillo yesterday with my friends at The Panhandle Human Resources Association.
I was honored to be invited to speak on how leaders and organizations can send belonging cues throughout the entire employee lifecycle.
Belonging moves the needle. 💯
This approach empowers instead of inducing more shame, which is the LAST thing most leaders need. 💯
AND it will lead to more growth than we thought possible. 👏🏻
Different leaders can get to the same outcomes using different methods. 💯
So it must be said. You do not have to be the most interpersonally gifted person in the room to be an exceptional leader.
Let's stop putting so much pressure on leaders to have phenomenal people skills.
Instead:
✅ Let's equip leaders to use the natural talents they already have to send the messages that matter most.
✅ Let's help them identify their vulnerabilities and blind spots so they can communicate openly about them, thus building trust and psychological safety.
@kadewilcox 💯 Just happened to me with an insurance need. I called three local businesses & had to leave a message for all three. After saying I needed a quote & was ready to buy on the voicemail, only one of them ever called me back. 🤦🏼♀️ Are you trying to sell something here, or no?
I had a wonderful time yesterday presenting to hospitality leaders during @ConnectSeasonal’s 'Trends, Ideas, & Culture in Hospitality Conference.'
I shared the business case for belonging and my favorite ways to send belonging cues across the employee lifecycle. Fun stuff! 🤩
Employees will tell the truth about your organization & your leadership when you’ve made it safe to do so.
That takes work.
That takes communication.
That takes humility & trust.
If you don’t create this type of environment, you will struggle to retain your best people. 💯
