The Quarterly Conversation – What’s Stopping You?

One of the highest impact disciplines you can practice as a leader/manager is the quarterly conversation.

After teaching it to our clients for more than 15 years, the feedback and results are undeniable.

Are you frustrated that everything isn’t getting done from one meeting to the next? You’re not alone! Many of my client leadership teams have expressed similar frustrations over the last year. Frustrations were cropping up in two main areas that had a low completion percentage:
