Did you catch everything from July?

The July Roundup

Everything we covered this month — in one place.

 

Most leaders never got a real foundation — and they’ve been improvising ever since. That’s the problem July was built to solve. I’ve spent thirty years watching talented people struggle not because they lacked ability, but because nobody ever sat down and gave them the basics. I’m not okay with that. Here’s everything we covered, all in one place.

 
1

Kickoff

What are you actually giving your team this month?

Stop pushing development to fall. That was the whole message — plus a look at what was coming every Tuesday.

Development Resource

Nobody taught them how to lead. Are their people paying for it?

Being good at the job doesn’t prepare you to lead people — and yet that’s exactly how most promotions work. This on-demand tool gives your supervisor what day one should have included: how to set expectations, follow through, and have the conversations they’ve been avoiding. Short, actionable, and ready to use this week.

Development Resource

The teammate who seems difficult — until you realize they just communicate differently.

Most team friction isn’t personality — it’s style, and nobody named it. This development resource starts with a short personal assessment, then a guided video your team can work through together. Short, actionable, and use it immediately — or bring it to your team as a live webinar. When they’re done, the conversation that used to derail a meeting starts going somewhere. I’ve seen it change a room in a single session.

Two Practical Tools

Is there a conversation you’ve been putting off? It’s costing you.

Avoidance always costs more than the conversation — and most leaders already know which one they’re not having. These two actionable resources change that. You’ll have the framework to walk into the hard conversation, and a practical system so accountability stops being something you enforce and starts being something your team owns.

Custom Work

You’ve built the foundation. Ready to go further?

If what you’re carrying is bigger than any single resource can hold, this is where we start. One conversation — no pitch, no pressure. You leave with clarity on what’s actually going on and a real sense of what the path forward looks like. I started offering these because I kept meeting leaders who didn’t need more content. They needed someone to think it through with them. That’s still the whole point.

See you in August. — Sharon

So far we’ve named the problem: training fades, and it fades on a schedule. Now the obvious question, what do you actually do about it? The answer is reinforcement. But let’s clear up the most common misread first: reinforcement is not “one more workshop” bolted on later. It isn’t a refresher session or extra training. It’s a structured system that turns new skills into default habits. Here’s what it actually involves: 1 Spaced practice + small visible commitments — the skill gets used in...

September Newsletter — Week 2 — Justice Leadership Last week we named the quiet way training fades. This week, let’s put a clock on it. New behaviors tend to collapse within about three weeks of a training unless something deliberate is built to hold them in place. I call it the three-week cliff, and the important part is this: it’s predictable. Which means it’s preventable. Here’s why the cliff shows up almost on schedule: 1 Old routines reassert themselves the previous way of working never...

Most leadership training produces a real burst of energy, and then it quietly fades. The reason it’s so easy to miss is that nothing dramatic goes wrong. There’s no blow-up, no failed project, no complaint. Just a slow drift back to how things were, until the old habits are fully back and no one can point to the moment it happened. Here’s what’s actually happening after the room empties: 1 Excitement isn’t behavior change — a good workshop reliably creates insight and energy. But knowing what...
