People trust people over companies. They trust the HR person more than the company. They buy from people, not logos. So if you just repeat what's on the website, you're not representing your company well.

šŸ“£ Momentum Wednesday!
The response to the 30-Day Employee Experience Accelerator has been incredible. šŸ’„
One organization is officially confirmed for a January kickoff āœ…
Several others are deep in conversation this week šŸ‘€
And it’s clear…
HR leaders are craving simple, measurable strategies that build trust fast.
Because when trust rises, everything else follows —
šŸ’” engagement
šŸ“ˆ retention
šŸ’¬ communication
šŸ’Ŗ performance
This program isn’t just for teams navigating change or recovering from layoffs.
It’s also for proactive organizations who want to:
⚔ start 2026 with a stronger culture,
šŸ† get ahead of their competitors, and
šŸ’¬ show employees that trust and transparency still matter.
That’s what this Accelerator is designed to do — help HR and People teams listen better, act faster, and build trust employees can feel.
✨ Two beta spots remain for Dec/Jan start dates.
If you’ve been thinking, ā€œThis is exactly what our team needs before 2026 hitsā€ā€¦
This is your moment.

Blocking with your arms or hiding behind objects sends the wrong message. Open body language cues others that you're approachable and relatable. It's not about being the most attractive—it's about being accessible.

Our brains are always scanning for hands as a trust indicator. Are you friend or foe? Using hand gestures makes you appear more trustworthy and engaging. Use your hands purposefully to connect with your audience.

Most people think great communicators are natural extroverts. But communication skills aren't just for ā€œpeople persons.ā€ The secret? It's not about hard skills—it’s how you make people feel. It's about showing up in a way that impacts others.

First impressions happen faster than you think—in seconds, not minutes. Before you even speak, people are forming opinions. Learn how to curate your presence, from your Zoom background to your email signature, and make a powerful impact without saying a word. It's harder than ever to stand out with so much noise.

šŸ’­ Yesterday, I asked:
ā€œWhat’s the #1 reason trust breaks down after layoffs?ā€
😬 And wow — the results said it all. 😬
The top answers?
šŸ‘‰ Lack of honest communication
šŸ‘‰ All of the above (cringe)
Which basically tells us this:
šŸ’„ It’s not one thing. It’s everything.
Communication. No (seen) follow-through. Culture decimated. Fear rules.
When trust breaks, it’s rarely from a single action — it’s from a pattern of silence.
šŸ‘Ž The unanswered questions.
šŸ‘Ž The ā€œwe’ll circle backā€ emails that never come.
šŸ‘ŽThe visible gap between what’s said and what’s done.
šŸ’” But here’s the hopeful truth: trust can be rebuilt.
It starts with *listening first, acting visibly, and closing the loop* — consistently.
That’s the core of the work I do in The Simplifiers 30-Day Employee Experience Accelerator.
In 30 working days, we help HR and People leaders:
āœ… Rebuild trust through employee listening
āœ… Deliver visible quick wins their teams can feel
āœ… And map out an EX Strategy for 2026 that actually sticks
If this hits home, I’d love to help.

šŸŽ§ NEW EPISODE: ā€œHow to Listen to Be Heardā€
✨ This week’s guided visualization helps you slow down, breathe deep, and remember what real listening feels like.
Because right now, trust at work is fragile.
And how we listen — intentionally, visibly, and with follow-through — determines whether our people feel seen… or silenced. šŸ’”
šŸ’” ā€œListen to be heardā€ flips the usual dynamic.
When organizations listen well, they themselves become heard and trusted again by their workforce.
So today, take 10 minutes just for you:
🌿 Find a quiet space.
🫁 Close your eyes and breathe.
šŸŽ§ Let this visualization help you reconnect to that grounded, human-first kind of leadership that starts with presence — not perfection.
šŸŽ™ļø Listen here → https://lnkd.in/gjc-WMp8
ā¤ļø P.S. If this resonates and you’re ready to turn listening into measurable trust-building action at your company… I’m opening just 3 beta spots for The Simplifiers 30-Day Employee Experience Accelerator.

šŸ‘‚ Let’s talk about employee listening.
When trust breaks down at work, most leaders try to fix it with another town hall, a new initiative, or a shiny engagement campaign.

But here’s the truth šŸ‘‡
āŒ You don’t rebuild trust by talking MORE.
āœ… You rebuild trust by listening better.

And I don’t mean ā€œcollecting survey data.ā€
I mean **listening with follow-through.**
šŸ—£ļø Listening not to defend or justify, but to understand and act.
šŸ’¬ Communicating back what was heard — ā€œHere’s what you said, and here’s what we’re doing.ā€
šŸ” Creating a loop where listening builds credibility... and action earns trust.
šŸŽļøšŸ’Ø That’s where momentum starts.
āš”ļø That’s how culture shifts — not overnight, but one feedback loop at a time.
If your team is ready to rebuild trust and re-energize your people…
