Hot take: A job posting is not a recruiting strategy.

It’s a lottery ticket.

You post the role. You wait. You sort through hundreds of résumés from people actively applying.
But the leader who will truly transform your company?

They’re probably not scrolling job boards.
They’re currently employed, performing well, leading teams, and not thinking about making a move.

That’s exactly who we go find.

At Turning the Corner HR, our retained search model allows us to proactively identify, approach, and build relationships with high performing passive candidates — the people who weren’t looking until the right opportunity found them.

If you’re a founder or CEO who’s tired of:
→ Waiting months to fill a VP or C-suite role
→ Competing for the same limited candidate pool
→ Losing momentum because of the wrong leadership hire

It may be time to rethink what executive recruiting should actually look like.
The right leader changes everything...

Leadership gets harder when the ground keeps shifting.

Last week I sat with 20 public servant leaders carrying the weight of constant change, public scrutiny, burnout, political shifts, and impossible expectations.

What stood out most?

The strongest leaders are not the ones tightening control.
They’re the ones building trust.

Because when teams don’t feel heard, respected, or safe to contribute honestly, momentum stalls. Collaboration breaks down. Decisions get delayed. Culture suffers.

Trust is not soft.
It’s structural.

In this new blog, I share what these leaders reminded me about what effective leadership actually demands right now.

One of the biggest hiring mistakes companies make happens before the interview even starts.

Most managers begin hiring without clearly defining what success in the role actually looks like.

Before posting a job, try this simple exercise:

Complete this sentence:
“In this role, this person must consistently be able to…”

Then list 3 non negotiables.

This helps teams:
✔ Build better interview questions
✔ Hire more fairly and consistently
✔ Reduce hiring based on personality alone
✔ Create stronger onboarding expectations

Strong hiring starts with clarity.

Big congratulations to our client, Bond Pet Foods, on receiving an FDA-CVM Letter of No Objection for their Brewed Lamb Protein ingredient developed in collaboration with Hill’s Pet Nutrition!

This is a huge step forward for the future of pet nutrition and sustainable food innovation.

Bond’s precision fermentation technology delivers high quality protein with nutritional benefits comparable to traditional animal proteins while creating a more sustainable and scalable solution for the pet food industry.

We’re excited to see the impact this milestone will have as Bond continues advancing commercialization, expanding applications, and shaping the future of pet nutrition.

Congratulations to Rich and the entire Bond Pet Foods team on this incredible achievement.

Here's a quick HR tip that will change the way you give feedback as a manager 👇
Instead of saying "you should have done it this way," try "next time, would you do X?"
It's called feedforward — and it works because you can't change the past, but you can shape what happens next.
Try it this week and let me know how it goes!

Are You Hiring for Availability—or for Real Fit?
In franchise operations, staffing pressure is real — but hiring the first person who says yes can cost you far more than the open shift.
So here is the question: Are you hiring for immediate relief, or long-term fit?
Every bad hire is a risk to your brand standards, not just your schedule. The right hire is not just someone who can fill a shift. It is someone who can handle the role, align with the culture, and contribute to the customer experience. When managers hire only for urgency, they often inherit avoidable issues: poor reliability, weak service habits, team conflict, and turnover.
Hiring well is not luck. It starts with knowing what the role truly requires — not just tasks, but temperament, pace, and attitude. A franchise-ready employee needs more than availability. They need the capacity to work inside systems, serve customers well, and operate as part of a team. They also need to fit the culture you have worked hard to build.
Better hiring slows down the pain later. It improves performance, protects morale, and helps managers spend less time replacing the wrong people.
Turning the Corner HR works with franchisees and franchisors to build smarter hiring systems. Treating hiring as one of your most important franchise strategies can make all the difference.

What an incredible day at the Unstoppable Business Conference! 💥

I had the opportunity to speak alongside so many inspiring leaders during this year’s NEXT LEVEL event, and I left feeling energized by the conversations, connections, and commitment to growth in the room.

Small business owners are navigating a lot right now, and events like this remind me just how resilient, innovative, and unstoppable this community truly is.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, asked thoughtful questions, shared their experiences, and invested in taking their business to the next level. And an extra special thank you to Liz Rachal for being such an amazing partner in the conversation and for the impact you continue to make. 🙌

Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when we choose to keep learning, evolving, and showing up.

Already looking forward to next year!

Running a Franchise Team?
Why do “difficult conversations” feel so hard… before they even happen?

Most managers aren’t struggling with the conversation itself. They’re struggling with the buildup.

They replay worst-case scenarios.
They worry about how they’ll come across.
They delay the conversation—and the issue grows.

Here’s the shift:
It’s usually not the situation that’s difficult. It’s the lack of preparation.

Without a clear structure or outcome, even simple conversations feel overwhelming. And avoiding them doesn’t protect your team—it creates tension, confusion, and frustration.

The best leaders aren’t fearless. They’re prepared. They know how to approach conversations with clarity, respect, and confidence.

That’s what we help franchise owners build inside their teams.
