I help leaders rapidly accelerate and elevate their team’s performance.
Part 2 of 2 on RTO insights: Where we're heading is just as important as where we've been. AI talent is pushing back on RTO; AI roles are ~3× more likely to be remote, and Head-of-AI roles are surging. If leadership resists enabling remote, it’s a red flag (reactive leadership or financial strain)

Most companies limit engagement to “manager-to-employee.” That’s a trap. The real power? Teams that engage each other, including across silos. That’s how we build Co-Exponential™ Teams, where peer support, coaching, and shared success drive performance and joy. You save time.

Why are you still in every meeting? You say you’ve delegated. But your calendar says otherwise. If your team still brings everything to you for sign-off, you haven’t delegated; you’ve just distributed tasks with strings attached. 👉 That’s not trust. That’s a trap.

A Silent Killer of Team Success Most teams don’t fail because of a lack of skill. They fail because no one talked about how they’d work together. The biggest blocker to high performance? Unspoken expectations. Misaligned ways of working. The stuff we assume but never say out loud.

Every company talks about performance. But too few talk about the experience of achieving it. ➡️ Is your team energized or exhausted? ➡️ Are you building velocity or just pressure? ➡️ Are people moving together or burning out alone? We believe the most overlooked performance driver is joy.

Most teams don’t fail from bad ideas, they fail from silence. And that silence? It kills momentum, creativity, trust. So how do you build candor that actually fuels performance? 1. Go first. As a leader, if you’re not willing to be real, no one else will be. Admit what you don’t know. Own misses

The Hardest Truth I’ve Told a CEO This Year “You don’t have a performance issue. You have an avoidance issue.” Silence in meetings. No pushback. Decisions that don’t stick. The team wasn’t dysfunctional; they were too polite to be effective. We helped them build the muscle for real challenge.

That’s what one tech COO said after 3 sessions with Redefine Winning. Insight without action is just elegant procrastination. We build in accountability, decision velocity, and cross-functional sync. Because the point of coaching isn’t clarity. It’s traction.
