About
In 2009 CEO and founder Kim Seeling Smith started Ignite Global after deciding that instead of being paid to put bums in seats (working as a recruiter for the 15 years prior to that) she wanted to help More
I love, love, love Korn Ferryโs research, and the Future of Work Trends 2022: A New Era of Humanity report does not disappoint. One of the best quotes from page 6 is,
Have you considered the HUGE opportunity that The Great Resignation provides from a talent acquisition perspective? Think about it, regardless of whether they act on it, MULTIPLE studies show that at least 40% of the workforce is open to looking for other work in 2022.

Iโm curious, what has your experience been with implicit bias training?
Having spent 15 years working as a professional recruiter and 11 years teaching hiring managers how to hire more effectively and efficiently Iโve always felt that implicit bias training was a waste of time.
There is more and more research now backing up my gut feel. Here are two articles that unpack this pretty nicely.
Even worse, there is consistent evidence that bias training done the โwrong wayโ (think lukewarm diversity training) can actually have the opposite impact, inducing anger and frustration among white employees. What this all means is that, despite the widespread calls for implicit bias training, it will likely be ineffective at best; at worst, itโs a poor use of limited resources that could cause more damage and exacerbate the very issues it is trying to solve.

Friday funny. Youโve heard of the KISS Principle, right? Keep It Simple Stupid (or I prefer Silly). Now Iโd like to introduce the KSS Principle!
KISS Principle
My clients have told me for years that one of my superpowers is breaking down complex concepts and making them simple.
In fact, one of the best testimonials Iโve ever gotten came from Mike Saxton, who said,
A few months ago, I was leading a training session, and I mentioned the KISS Principleโฆand one of the participants said, you should rename it the KSS Principle for Kim Seeling Smith. We had a good laugh, but now I find myself saying it frequently.
Thank you Sparks+Partners Consulting Engineers for inviting me to run one of my favorite workshops, โSoar with Your Strengthsโ for your end of year offsite last week. The main reason I love this workshop is that it gives you permission to stop beating yourself up about things that you arenโt good at and will never be good at by developing strategies to reach the same outcomes using strengths you do have.

We change the oil and rotate the tires on our car to keep it from breaking. We call this preventative maintenance. And research shows that regular, meaningful conversations do the same thing for our teams.
Yet so many managers complain they donโt have enough time to do this.
How much time would they save by avoiding problems by having proactive conversations to correct performance or behaviour and to find out what their team needs to be fully motivated, engaged and productive?
