Recent studies have shown that the vast majority of employees feel their voices are not being heard in the workplace. In fact, a staggering 86% of employees believe that people at their organization are not heard, while another survey revealed that 60% of employees believe their views and opinions are simply ignored. As a leadership executive coach, I know that being heard is one of the most important things for employees, and it should be a top priority for leaders.

Trust is the cornerstone of all great leadership. Without it, it’s tough to inspire, motivate, or bring about meaningful change in your organization. Trust isn’t just a switch you can flip; it grows and deepens over time, offering various levels of connection and impact. As an experienced leadership coach, I’ve discovered that there are four key levels of trust every leader needs to master to create an environment of openness, accountability, and peak performance.

No one knows exactly what the future of work will look like, but many people have opinions. Research involving Belgian newspaper articles and experts shows that public commentators on the topic tend to fall into three buckets: optimists (largely tech entrepreneurs), skeptics (largely economists) , and pessimists (authors and journalists). So, who’s right — should the future involve accelerated progress, degrowth, or something in between?

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
