Description

When applied consistently and effectively, one simple practice can have a tremendous impact on culture and create a ripple effect across your organization. What is that practice? Rounding.

In this episode, Dr. Janet Pilcher welcomes Samantha Sands, Director of Customer Success for K-12 Rounding, to discuss how small, intentional interactions help leaders build trust, strengthen culture, and boost engagement.

Together, Janet and Samantha explore what successful rounding looks like in practice, why recognition and follow-up matter, and how leaders can turn what they learn into meaningful change. Samantha also shares real examples of how districts are using rounding to ensure employees feel seen, valued, and heard, and how the right tools can help leaders transform insights into action that drives improvement.
