We invest in systems, tools, and training to support employee Growth. But what if the real key to development isn’t another program, but something more human and foundational? In my latest Training Industry Magazine column, I explore how trust, specifically the Four Domains of Trust developed by Charles Feltman, fuels meaningful Growth. Drawing on a powerful early-career experience (and a boss who got it right), I unpack what it means to build trust in ways that inspire others to stretch, learn, and thrive. If you’re committed to creating a culture where development isn’t just encouraged…

Several years ago, on a trip to Hawaii, I decided to escape the afternoon sun for a complementary ukulele lesson offered by a local musician, Jason Jerome. About ten hotel guests gathered – from age 8 to 80 – to learn a little about how to play the instrument… and a lot more. After a few minutes of instruction, we had mastered three simple chords that would allow us to play hundreds of songs. Sensing that we were ready to go to the next level and get fancier with our technique, Jason took the opportunity to demonstrate his mastery of the instrument with a complex piece… and even more c…

What does it take for employees to truly grow in the workplace? Many point to the employees themselves – the need for initiative, resourcefulness and personal drive to clarify direction, goals and action steps. Others focus on the leader and their central responsibility to perpetuate the organization by developing talent. The good news is that everyone is right. Sustainable career development has never been a solo journey—it’s a partnership. That Goldilocks balance of employee motivation and leadership support, Growth creates an unbeatable employee experience and the Growth that employee…

As we enter 2025, the dynamics of leadership and organizational success continue to shift under the weight of complex global challenges and transformative trends.

The modern workplace is undergoing a dramatic transformation. With roles constantly evolving, new ways of working emerging, and organizations increasingly focused on skills-based hiring, employees are finding it harder than ever to keep their careers on course. According to Mercer, 60% of employees feel physically and emotionally drained at the end of each day, making it clear that the old tools we’ve relied on for career development may no longer suffice. How to Embrace Your Career Compass In my latest article for ATD, I discuss how today’s professionals can embrace a new kind of career c…

Effort, not just time, is often the biggest hurdle when it comes to professional development. In today’s fast-paced work environment, both leaders and employees can feel overwhelmed by the thought of adding more to their plates. But what if development didn’t have to be a heavy lift? What if we could integrate it into the work we’re already doing, making Growth feel natural and effortless? The reality is that development doesn’t require extraordinary effort or hours of focus. In fact, some of the most powerful Growth happens in small, manageable moments that are embedded in everyday ta…

 “Symbols can be so beautiful, sometimes.” ~ Kurt Vonnegut, “Breakfast of Champions” Sandra described the past week of headaches associated with a systems conversion that took place in the call center in which she works as a customer service representative. She outlined the many hiccups and problems they encountered, the way data dropped out of fields, and calls that were habitually misdirected. She described the 14-hour days that would likely go on for another week or so, the intensity of the customers’ expectations, and management’s scrutiny. When I responded empathetically ab…

The frustration was palpable within a group of leaders with whom I recently worked. They were in a tough spot. Competition was emerging from unexpected sources. Revenue was not tracking to meet expectations. The organization was responding with significant structural change. And these leaders had been told by executives that if the business was to survive, they had to improve their Coaching ability and results.One leader, unable to contain his urgency and angst, blurted out, “Just tell us the four or five steps we have to take to become better coaches.” Another jumped in with, “Certain…

Everywhere we turn—conferences, leadership forums, executive meetings—employee happiness (or the lack thereof) is a hot topic. And it makes sense. Research from BambooHR and others tells us employee happiness is at a historical low. The past few years—with all its upheaval—have inspired many to re-evaluate their relationship with work. And a lot of employees have discovered that relationship is falling short of what they want and need. The once-standard career trajectory and traditional trappings of success don’t have the same power they once did. Now, people are measuring success di…

“We’re living in a time of unprecedented change.” If I had a dime for every time I heard that phrase over the past few years, I’d be a wealthy woman. But it’s undeniably true. Rapidly advancing Technology, the proliferation of AI, shifting demographics, changing global markets, organizational realignments, and more continue to transform the workplace in profound ways and at a profound pace. It’s easy, as a leader, to focus on the mechanics of what must happen, and the action steps and milestones required to reach the future state. In the process, we can forget that change is fundam…
