Performance management: Love it? Hate it? Wondering what the big deal is?

It can be a real mixed bag. Maybe you skip into those meetings, giddy to shower your team members with glowing feedback and praise. Orrrrr maybe you’re dragging your when the feedback is a bit more…complicated.

But what if there was a way to make performance evaluations less of an emotional rollercoaster…

Today’s episode is all about how to shift from that dreaded annual review to continuous, two-way feedback that genuinely nurtures growth.

We're talking all about:

• Reframing the role of a performance evaluation;
• The magic of continuous feedback in promoting collaboration;
• How to cultivate a coaching culture that meshes with your team's dynamic and your company's operations;
• 3 practical strategies our clients have successfully implemented to keep feedback flowing smoothly, without sacrificing their unique cultures or leadership styles.
• And, yes, why face-to-face meetings still matter, even for remote or asynchronous teams.

We’re not here to convince you of the benefits of performance evaluations. We’re acknowledging the nuance of not wanting to do them, and how to put mechanisms in place to make the process a more natural, productive part of your workplace.

We're baaaack baby!

Kelli Jones and I are at it again with more Bravo legal drama, more HR disasters, and more fun. And maybe a little snark. I mean, we ARE talking about Bravo afterall.

Kelli is a trademark attorney, a fellow reality TV aficionado, and my go-to friend for Bravo drama and lawsuit breakdowns.

This time, we're covering:

• Trademarks and why they matter
• Updates on the Caroline Manzo / Brandy Glanville lawsuit
• Our thoughts on the blatant racial discrimination within the Bravo network
• Kristen Doute’s controversial comeback after being canceled (with lots of snark and eye rolls)
• Performative actions and the lack of accountability among Bravolebrities
• Safety concerns on set

And, of course, we're breaking down the legal and HR implications of it all.

If you're looking for some real world examples of what can go wrong when a business skirts around strategic HR, look no further.

Come gossip with us!

They might just be faces on a screen, but your employees are real, living humans who need more than KPIs and goals to truly thrive.

Don’t get us wrong — clear goals and expectations are 100% crucial for measuring success. You'll never catch us telling you NOT to clearly communicate goals and expectations. But true leadership goes beyond just tracking performance. It's about filling each team member’s cup with motivation and engagement in ways that suit their unique work styles.

This doesn't just boost their productivity, it contributes to your ability to lead effectively.

Filling those cups means really getting to know your people beyond the checkboxes on their task lists.

Let’s talk about this invisible layer of culture building that many leaders overlook, especially when managing remotely.
