This robust discussion underscored a powerful truth: talent development leaders can no longer afford to wait for lagging indicators to reveal problems. To stay ahead, we must anticipate needs, align talent metrics with strategy, and act before gaps derail performance.
As Matt Sernaker shared:

<blockquote data-start="483" data-end="650">
"Shifting from surveys after the fact to shaping daily experiences turned our lowest-rated hotel into the top performer—and gave everyone a role in improvement."
</blockquote>
And Angelica Stilling reinforced with her systemic view:

<blockquote data-start="715" data-end="864">
"A focused talent scorecard reveals workforce patterns early—speeding time-to-fill, boosting retention, and giving leaders actionable visibility."
</blockquote>
Together, these perspectives highlight a shift in mindset and practice. It’s not just about reporting outcomes—it’s about shaping them. Predictive talent strategies bring business and HR closer together, using early signals to drive accountability, innovation, and measurable results.
When leaders integrate predictive metrics into strategy, they move from reactive firefighting to proactive value creation. And when those metrics are transparent, they don’t just inform decisions—they shape culture, empowering people at every level to own outcomes.

<div class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light">

If you're leading through swirling priorities, burned-out teams, or restructuring fatigue—pause here.

✅ Kicked Off with New Latest Book Drop on the ELE Bookshelf
<a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/diana-anderson">Diana Anderson</a>, opened the session by sharing a recent addition to her ELE Bookshelf:
<a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/bookshelf/the-problem-with-change-and-the-essential-nature-of-human-performance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Problem With Change and the Essential Nature of Human Performance</a> by Ashley Goodall.

She highlighted how the book challenges the overuse of “change” as strategy—and instead offers practical tools to help leaders create clarity, stability, and human-centered focus during disruption.

✅ <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/janice-simmons" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Janice Simmons</a> (Froedtert ThedaCare Health) followed with a myth-busting lens on leadership during transition:
<blockquote data-start="562" data-end="716">
“Leaders need to protect what matters—by pausing, stopping, or pushing back on the work that’s draining focus and energy from what truly drives change.”
</blockquote>
Her call to action? Stop managing the chaos—start shielding your people from it. Think like an organizational antibody: remove distractions, protect priorities, and give your teams space to perform.

✅ <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/laura-jones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laura Jones</a> (insightsoftware) brought those insights to life with a real-world case study from the Orbitz–Expedia merger.
<blockquote data-start="961" data-end="1075">
“Employees just want to be heard—and giving them clarity and space is what helps them feel safe enough to stay.”
</blockquote>
During a 9-month DOJ “quiet period,” her team leaned into trust and development. With unscripted Q&amp;As, strengths-based work, and personal brand coaching, they retained 89% of employees—without directives from the acquiring company.

<hr />

✅ We Wrapped Up with Highlights from Breakout Groups
<ul>
 	<li><a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/colin-hahn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colin Hahn</a> underscored the value of small wins and inclusive momentum.</li>
 	<li><a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/jane-shlaes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jane Shlaes</a> reframed leadership as a trust-building act, not a control exercise.</li>
 	<li><a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/rhonda-sharp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rhonda Sharp</a> showed how change champions drive alignment from strategy to action.</li>
 	<li><a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/adam-walleser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Walleser</a> reminded us that trust lives in relationships—not org charts.</li>

<ol data-start="1373" data-end="1906">
 	<li data-start="1373" data-end="1493">
Stabilizers drive momentum. Progress doesn't come from adding more change—but from protecting space to breathe.
</li>
 	<li data-start="1494" data-end="1607">
Messaging ≠ meaning. Even a compelling mission falls flat if it doesn’t connect to what people do today.
</li>
 	<li data-start="1608" data-end="1706">
More change ≠ more innovation. Creativity needs calm, not a constant swirl of priorities.
</li>
 	<li data-start="1707" data-end="1804">
Org charts don’t drive outcomes. Influence lives in relationships, not boxes on a slide.
</li>
 	<li data-start="1805" data-end="1906">
Visibility builds trust. Showing up as a leader—even with no answers—beats silence every time.
</li>
</ol>

<hr data-start="1908" data-end="1911" />

<h3 data-start="1913" data-end="1937">🛠 Practical Actions</h3>
<ul data-start="1939" data-end="2477">
 	<li data-start="1939" data-end="2032">
Cut the noise. Inventory what’s overwhelming your team—and decide what needs to stop.
</li>
 	<li data-start="2033" data-end="2137">
Block breathing room. Protect time for people to think, reflect, and recover—even during change.
</li>
 	<li data-start="2138" data-end="2238">
Coach visibility over control. Get leaders out of their inboxes and into real conversations.
</li>
 	<li data-start="2239" data-end="2350">
Ask: Who do people trust? Map the informal network—not just the hierarchy—and support those connectors.
</li>
 	<li data-start="2351" data-end="2477">
Start with one “anchor ritual.” Weekly huddles, clarity check-ins, or rumor-busting AMAs can create immediate grounding.
</li>
</ul>

<hr data-start="2479" data-end="2482" />

<h3 data-start="2484" data-end="2499">💡 What if…</h3>
What if your most strategic leadership move this quarter isn’t launching a new initiative—but shutting one down?
What if the key to retention isn’t a vision statement—but the leader who listens without a script?
This session dismantled tired assumptions about change. It asked: who’s protecting focus, not just pushing pace?
If you're rethinking how to lead through uncertainty, maybe it's time to stop managing change—and start defending what matters most.

This session provided a sharp wake-up call for talent leaders stuck in traditional hiring models.
 Ellen Johnson, Jerry Baake, and Tami Martin made it clear: the public workforce development system isn’t just an untapped talent source—it’s a strategic lever for hiring, retention, and long-term workforce resilience. By partnering with community-based organizations and leveraging subsidized training programs, employers can access skilled talent, fill critical gaps, and expand pipelines beyond conventional methods. For sectors facing persistent shortages, like healthcare, this approach isn’t optional—it’s essential.

<blockquote data-start="795" data-end="965">
“Human resources asks, ‘What should we do?’ Workforce development asks, ‘What if we did it differently—and what new talent pool could we unlock?’” — <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/jerry-baake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jerry Baake</a>, The University of Vermont Health Network
</blockquote>
<img class="aligncenter" src="https://wp.ele.llc/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/WISE2025-Rethinking-Talent-speakers.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="443" />
Most leaders say they’re struggling to find talent. But the truth? It’s often hiding in plain sight. The public workforce development system—an underused, no-cost or low-cost resource—offers access to skilled, motivated talent along with built-in support services. Yet many employers still don’t know where to start.

<blockquote data-start="1285" data-end="1405">
“We have to paint the picture of what happens if we don’t utilize alternative talent pipelines.” — <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/tamora-martin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tami Martin</a>, Froedtert Health
</blockquote>
This session revealed how strategic partnerships with workforce boards and community-based organizations can solve not only hiring needs, but also unlock training funds, improve retention, and increase workforce diversity.
🔑 Key Takeaways:

<ul data-start="1653" data-end="2111">
 	<li class="" data-start="1653" data-end="1737">
Alternative pipelines ≠ lower standards—they're often untapped, overlooked talent.
</li>
 	<li class="" data-start="1738" data-end="1851">
Public workforce programs offer wraparound services like transportation, job coaching, and tuition support.
</li>
 	<li class="" data-start="1852" data-end="1952">
Data-driven ROI—from lower turnover to reduced traveler costs—makes the case for executive buy-in.
</li>
 	<li class="" data-start="1953" data-end="2035">
Internal mobility and subsidized upskilling strengthen retention and engagement.
</li>
 	<li class="" data-start="2036" data-end="2111">
Failure is part of the process. Start small, iterate, and build momentum.
</li>
</ul>
🎯 Practical Actions for HR Leaders:

<ol data-start="2154" data-end="2568">
 	<li class="" data-start="2154" data-end="2235">
Start with one workforce board or nonprofit partner—ask for a tour or meeting.
</li>
 	<li class="" data-start="2236" data-end="2328">
Use real cost data (turnover, agency fees) to build the business case for leadership.
</li>
 	<li class="" data-start="2329" data-end="2412">
Engage internal champions with nontraditional career paths to shift perceptions.
</li>
 	<li class="" data-start="2413" data-end="2496">
Leverage grants to cover training, transportation, and other retention supports.
</li>
 	<li class="" data-start="2497" data-end="2568">
Normalize failure as iteration—use early feedback to adapt and grow.
</li>
</ol>
This isn’t just about filling roles—it’s about rethinking how and where we source and grow talent. The most future-ready HR leaders won’t just ask “what should we do?” They’ll ask, “what if we did it differently?”

Session Focus: Harnessing AI to Transform Onboarding -- A Strategic Imperative for Senior HR Talent Leaders

In today's dynamic workplace, effective onboarding is crucial for long-term employee engagement and retention. However, Gallup research startlingly shows that only 12% of employees believe their organization excels at onboarding. This session explored how artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionize onboarding, providing a strategic edge in talent management.

Key Insights:
<ul>
 	<li>AI-Driven Customization: AI tools not only automate but also personalize onboarding materials, scaling personalized experiences efficiently. This boosts new hire integration and enhances long-term engagement.</li>
 	<li>Managerial Involvement: Empowering managers with appropriate tools and training is vital. Their active involvement can make the onboarding experience 3.4 times more likely to be viewed as exceptional.</li>
 	<li>Visual and Interactive Materials: Replacing text-heavy documents with engaging, visual content created through tools like PowerPoint and Canva makes onboarding more accessible and impactful.</li>
 	<li>Analytics for Continuous Improvement: AI provides ongoing analytics to assess onboarding effectiveness, allowing for data-driven adjustments that continuously refine the process.</li>
</ul>
Conclusion:

For HR leaders, integrating AI into onboarding processes is essential to lead in crafting dynamic, efficient, and effective employee integration strategies. The role of AI in HR transcends mere potential—it is becoming indispensable.

At the core of a thriving organization is its ability to foster a sense of belonging and engagement among its employees. Peer coaching emerges as a powerful tool in this context, providing a structured yet flexible method to enhance employee retention and cultivate a supportive company culture.  This session provided valuable insights into the power of peer coaching for professional development and organizational growth. At its core, the discussion emphasized a crucial aspect of learning:
<blockquote>"Learning requires vulnerability. Creating psychological safety is vital because without it, people can't be vulnerable enough to learn." -- <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/kyle-swanson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyle Swanson</a></blockquote>
This profound statement encapsulates the essence of effective peer coaching. The session highlighted three key takeaways:
<ul>
 	<li>The Importance of Psychological Safety: Establishing a secure and accepting environment is pivotal for successful peer coaching. By fostering a space where individuals feel free to express vulnerability and share without judgment, the stage is set for deeper and more impactful learning interactions.</li>
 	<li>Valuing Diverse Viewpoints: Peer coaching circles are enriched by the variety of perspectives they bring together. Access to different viewpoints not only offers fresh insights but also encourages the exploration of questions that may not arise in a more homogenous group. This diversity catalyzes a more robust learning experience.</li>
 	<li>Commitment to Preparation Enhances Outcomes: The effectiveness of peer coaching hinges on the participants' dedication to the process. Success is facilitated by thorough preparation, which includes reflective thinking prior to sessions, active participation during discussions, and a solid commitment to both provide and receive constructive feedback.</li>
</ul>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-40779" src="https://wp.ele.llc/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/graph-employee-retention-rates_3-source-MIT-Sloan-2019-Study-1024x512.png" alt="Retention: Hired vs. Acquired Employees" width="612" height="306" />

By focusing on these elements, organizations can harness the full potential of peer coaching, creating a culture of continuous learning and growth. This approach not only enhances individual development but also strengthens team dynamics and organizational resilience in an ever-evolving professional landscape.
