Join Dr. Troy Hall and Ben-Jamin Toy at the Cohesion Culture™ headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina, for a masterclass on leadership and feedback. In this episode, our special guest Liz Weber shares her journey from a childhood in a family of 13 to navigating the global stage as an intern at the U.S. Department of State.

Liz reveals a pivotal UH-OH experience where a lack of courage led to blindsiding an employee during a termination. This lesson shaped her no-nonsense approach to consulting, where she emphasizes her candidness with all employees from CEOs to interns. We call this the difference between being nice and being kind.

Key takeaways from this episode include:

  • The "Fair-ability" Factor: Why straightforward communication and fairness are more important than being liked in a leadership role.
  • Intentionality vs. Entitlement: How to act like the career you want by fulfilling job responsibilities 100% independently and competently.
  • Leading Through Challenges: Addressing the current tidal wave of exits and the loss of historical knowledge within organizations.

Listen in to learn why feedback is a gift and how to ensure your team is prepared for the shifting priorities of today's business landscape.
