• Tell me about a client session you led this past month that was particularly impactful for you. What made it stand out?

• You wrote an article titled “Why Your Best People Are Leaving (And It’s Not About Money).” What made you want to highlight this topic, and what do you think leaders often misunderstand about why their best people actually leave?

• Over 25 years of working with leaders, what’s one belief about leadership you held early in your career that you’ve completely changed your mind about? What caused that shift?

• Can you share a leadership moment in your career that didn’t go as expected? What did it teach you?

• Can you walk me through how you lead a workshop that helps companies address culture issues? What can someone expect from that experience, and how have you seen it make an immediate impact?

 Article Topics:

• Article 1: "Why Your Best People Are Leaving (And It's Not About Money)"

Core Angle: Challenge the default assumption that retention issues are compensation-driven. Reveal how organizations lose talent through unclear growth paths, inconsistent feedback, and misaligned role-person fit—all fixable with intentional systems.

• Article 2: "The Manager's Trap: When Your Star Performer Is in the Wrong Seat"

Core Angle: Tackle the uncomfortable reality that sometimes great people are in roles where they can't succeed—and how to fix the situation with dignity intact. This is about individual-environment fit, not performance management.
