How to Spot and Grow High Slope Talent with Dr. Heather Doshay
What exactly is High Slope Talent and why are the best leaders focused on finding it?

Drawing from her experience as a venture-backed startup operator and leadership coach, Heather shares how to recognize people who not only rise quickly but elevate those around them.
She also explores what organizations can do to nurture these individuals, why traditional hiring frameworks often overlook them, and how using ‘slope’ as a lens helps build stronger, more scalable teams.
