Description

Every resignation is more than an exit. It is feedback about your leadership. Are you listening?

It’s easy to blame the market, competitors, or even employees themselves. But high turnover often shines a bright spotlight on leadership. In this episode, I share seven powerful insights into what turnover is really saying about your leadership and how you can respond in ways that build trust, connection, and loyalty.


If you’re ready to reflect, adapt, and grow, this conversation will give you the clarity and tools to turn departures into lessons and leadership into impact.


Tune in to this episode, and if it sparks value for you, share it with other leaders who need to hear it.
