I’m going to be unpacking 9 Keys to Avoid the Great Resignation (reverse engineered from over 5,000 exit interviews)…and unveiling some new (and dare I say a bit controversial) insights around this model.

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
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 don’t 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?
Thank you Sparks+Partners Consulting Engineers for inviting me to run one of my favorite workshops, “Soar with Your Strengths” 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 aren’t good at and will never be good at by developing strategies to reach the same outcomes using strengths you do have.

My Facebook memories told me that 1 year ago today was my first appearance on Nine’s Today Show. Georgie and I had a spirited discussion about the older workforce. I was optimistic back then. I was FINALLY seeing some cracks in our decades old discrimination against older workers.
Not so much anymore. I’ve read recent stories that Ageism is still alive and well and increasing in our new COVID environment.
I’d love your thoughts. What do you see?
If you’re over 50, what do you find? What are your plans for the future? Remain in full time work, do contract work, side hustle? Start your own business?
I loved this article about the things companies get wrong when writing job descriptions. I only disagree with their first point. A long job description/job ad isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’ve helped clients write very lengthy but VERY compelling job descriptions that vividly describes the company culture and values, outlines what the prospective candidate can achieve in the role and what they need to bring to the table (innate abilities and strengths) to be successful.

I’ve been traveling for a conference and to spend my birthday/4th of July with my sister and best friend.
I love to spend my birthday in the US because it’s the day before the 4th of July – which makes it a 2-day celebration, in the middle of summer – with fireworks!
Unfortunately, the following weekend I attended the National Speakers Convention in Nashville, where I promptly got Covid and spent the next weeks isolating instead of going on a road trip with my best friend. The times we live in!
Isolation gave me lots of thinking time – and lots of time to strategize on new content, so expect fairly regular updates now through the end of the year.
My head is just buzzing with ideas.
Starting with 2 new masterclasses.
Feel free to grab your spot at one or both – and invite friends and colleagues.
I’m 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 I’ve 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 “wrong way” (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, it’s a poor use of limited resources that could cause more damage and exacerbate the very issues it is trying to solve.
