Just Coach
Sometimes the person you want to coach does not think they need it. Sometimes they are in denial that a problem exists. It’s ok. That is why you need to step up and do it. Don’t wait for someone else to come along and do clean up for you.
Crying at Work
I am not heartless and do not believe that terminations should be a surprise, I’ve always been the person in HR known for being direct. In fact, from early in my career, employees knew that if they wanted to cry and get the motherly- nurturing touch, they needed to go to the office next to mine and chat with my associate.

You’re Invited! Rypple/ HRevolution Tweetup
My friends at Rypple are doing great things to help organizations like yours build a culture where feedback is the norm. That’s a HUGE thing to accomplish because you and I both know that there are many great companies out there that don’t give employees enough feedback. We all think it should be something that we do, then we make excuses as to why we don’t do it. We don’t have time, it doesn’t feel natural, or we want to but other “fires” come up and coaching takes a back seat. This is when you need to reach out to Rypple.

Feedback and Helmet Slaps
I want to share something personal today and I hope you’ll indulge me. I received an e-mail for my son from his football coach and it is one of the best examples of feedback I’ve seen in a very long time.
