Addressing Employee Performance Gaps 📉🗣️


Hey, Reader,

Meet Alex, a supervisor who was struggling with a team member, Mia. Her work wasn’t meeting expectations, and Alex felt stuck.

He worried:

💭 What if Mia felt attacked?
💭 What if this ruined their working relationship?

Instead of avoiding the issue, Alex took these steps to approach the conversation effectively:

Pause and prepare: Alex wrote down specific examples of where Mia's work fell short 📋 and what success would look like instead 🌟.

Lead with curiosity: He started the conversation by asking about her perspective 👂 and any challenges she might be facing 🛑.

Reframe feedback as support: Alex emphasized, “I believe in your potential, and I want to help you get there” 🤝.

The outcome?

Mia shared obstacles Alex hadn’t been aware of 💡. Together, they created a plan for success, and her performance soared 🚀.

Hard conversations don’t have to be scary—they can be transformational when handled with kindness and clarity 💖.

Ready to turn tough talks into team breakthroughs?

Cheering you on,
Elisabeth

Burned Out? Stop Saying YES to Everything

Hi There, Reader, Yes, I want Coaching! If you’ve been saying “yes” to everything lately, I want you to pause for a moment. Not because you’re doing something wrong, but because you deserve to lead from a place of strength, not exhaustion! Many leaders don’t hear this enough: constantly saying yes doesn’t make you more helpful. It makes you depleted. And a depleted leader can’t lead with clarity, calm, or confidence. Boundaries aren’t walls. They’re clarity. They’re respect! They’re the...
