Fix the Foundation: Chart the Course, Then Coach Through It

Once roles and expectations are clear, the next challenge is keeping performance aligned over time. That requires more than good intentions—it takes structure, consistency, and shared definitions of success.

Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, explores how organizations can turn clarity into momentum by building performance systems that reinforce direction, progress, and accountability. We’ll look at how regular coaching conversations, milestone-based goal tracking, and aligned follow-through help employees not just try, but improve, and take ownership of their own growth.

This session offers practical strategies for helping managers become guides instead of gatekeepers, and for creating an environment where performance is tracked, supported, and celebrated.

Key Takeaways:

• Use coaching to reinforce alignment and build trust
• Design milestones that show progress without micromanaging
• Establish shared accountability without slipping into control
• Help employees take the lead in tracking and owning their development

This program is pre-approved for 1 PDC for the SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP® and 1 CEU for the PHR® or SPHR®. A Certificate of Completion will be provided to each attendee within one week of the presentation.
