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

  • Feedback Isn’t a Fire Alarm – Create a Culture of Growth

    If feedback only happens during reviews, or when something goes wrong, you’re not alone. But you're also not building the kind of culture that drives real growth. In this session, Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, explores how to shift feedback from a reaction to a routine.

  • Stop Ghosting Your Team: Rebuilding the Rhythm of Performance Conversations

    Performance conversations often slip through the cracks, especially when schedules shift, meetings go virtual, or expectations are unclear. One-on-ones get delayed. Feedback becomes inconsistent.

  • Check the Receipts: Artifacts and Documentation with miviva

    Conversations are essential, but without documentation, clarity fades fast.

  • Beyond the Dashboard: Making Performance Data Useful Again

    Data is everywhere: engagement scores, goal metrics, completion rates, peer feedback. But if that data never sparks a conversation, reinforces expectations, or leads to action, it's just another report collecting dust. This session explores what often gets overlooked as the metrics are gathered: the interpretation, the conversation, and the action that follows. Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, will examine how HR can play a key role in helping managers move from passive reporting to active engagement. The focus is on using everyday performance data not just to monitor progress, but to reinforce expectations, spark timely dialogue, and make small [...]

  • Clarity Over Chaos: Navigating Change with Confidence

    Change is constant. The reaction to it is not. When change is introduced without enough clarity, people fill in the gaps themselves.

  • Clarity Over Convenience: Using AI Without Losing Judgment

    Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday work, offering faster answers, cleaner summaries, and more efficient workflows. But speed and polish don’t always equal accuracy or insight. This 60-minute seminar focuses on the role of human judgment in an AI-assisted workplace.

  • Start Small. Grow Strong: Operationalizing Performance with miviva

We’ll look at practical ways teams begin building momentum, how processes evolve as needs change, and how managers create consistency through everyday actions and conversations.

  • Performance, Pay, and Perspective

    Rethinking the Link Between Reviews and Compensation It seems like most organizations connect performance management and compensation by design. Reviews lead to ratings. Ratings influence pay. The structure is familiar, but it also shapes how conversations happen, what gets said, and what gets avoided. In this 60-minute session, Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, examines what happens when organizations begin to question that connection. We’ll explore how tying performance directly to pay can influence feedback, manager behavior, and employee expectations alongside what can change when that link is adjusted or separated. The session looks at both sides. In some [...]

  • The Compounding Cost of Performance Problems

    How Organizational Friction Slows Performance Most performance problems don't appear overnight. They build gradually through unclear expectations, duplicated effort, rework, communication gaps, and competing priorities. Over time, these small points of friction consume time, drain energy, and make it harder for employees and teams to succeed. In this session, Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, explores how seemingly minor performance challenges can compound into larger organizational issues. Rather than focusing solely on individual performance, we'll examine the systems, habits, and workplace conditions that create friction and slow progress. We’ll dive into the hidden costs of confusion, inconsistent follow-through, and [...]

  • From Panic to Pattern: Making Feedback Routine, Not Reactive

    From Panic to Pattern: Making Feedback Routine, Not Reactive Most managers don't avoid feedback because they don't care. They avoid it because they wait. They wait for more evidence. They wait for the right time. They hope the issue resolves itself. And by the time the conversation finally happens, frustration has built, employees are surprised, and what could have been a simple discussion becomes a difficult one. In this practical session, Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, explores why feedback often breaks down, and not because managers lack skill, but because they lack a consistent pattern for having performance [...]

    Clear the Way: Reducing Performance Friction with miviva People can spend a surprising amount of time and energy just trying to figure out how to get their work done.
