If your go-to check-in starts with “How’s it going?” and ends with a vague nod, it might be time to upgrade your conversation toolkit. In this engaging session, Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, breaks down five conversations that high-performing managers have regularly, not once a year, not just when something’s on fire, but as part of how they lead every day. These conversations aren’t fancy.
They’re real, repeatable, and ridiculously effective. Whether you’re leading a team in-office, remote, or somewhere in between, this session will help you turn generic interactions into high-impact moments.
You’ll learn how to:
  • Start (and sustain) conversations that build trust and clarity
  • Shift from check-ins to check-points—with shared accountability
  • Coach in the moment, not just in the margins
  • Use these conversations to reinforce expectations, progress, and purpose

The Big 5:

Clarity Chat – Align on expectations before things go sideways

Feedback Loop – Keep performance on track without surprise reviews

Milestone Pulse – Check progress without micromanaging

Coaching Nudge – Use small moments to develop big potential

Reflect & Reset – Make space to pause, learn, and plan what’s next

 

People leaders, HR pros, and anyone who’s tired of performance management feeling like a form instead of a conversation will gain the insight, tricks, and tips needed to create a culture of performance and high-performing teams.
