The most powerful conversation you're not having
We train leaders to have all kinds of conversations:
feedback conversations
performance reviews
strategic planning sessions
But we fail to teach them how to have the single most important one:
The human one.
The conversation that starts with, "Beyond the project status, how are you really doing?"
The one that asks, "What's taking up your energy outside of work right now?"
The one that says, "You seem a little off lately. Is everything okay?"
Leaders are often afraid to ask these questions.
They worry they're too personal.
They don't know how to handle the answer.
Or they just don't have time.
But by avoiding the human conversation, they miss the root cause of almost every performance issue.
And that oversight is incredibly expensive.
When leaders can't get to the root cause, they end up managing symptoms.
They waste months on performance improvement plans that were doomed to fail because the real issue wasn't a skill gap.
It was burnout.
They get blindsided by the sudden resignation of a top performer who was struggling in silence.
They create a transactional, low-trust culture where employees do just enough to not get fired.
But never enough to innovate or win.
Our coaching gives leaders the confidence and the skills to have these conversations effectively and appropriately.
It shows them how to build trust and demonstrate genuine care, which is the foundation of all great leadership.
Empower your leaders to have the conversations that truly matter.
