What You'll Take Away

Many companies invest heavily in strategy, goal-setting, and performance systems—yet still struggle to turn priorities into consistent execution. This Valentine’s Day, we’re breaking up with the idea that better alignment comes from strategy decks or tools alone. The missing link often isn’t the strategy or the system. It’s what happens (or doesn’t happen) in everyday manager conversations – where priorities either come to life or quietly drift. In this session, Betterworks and LifeLabs Learning will explore how organizations can move from “it’s complicated” to a match made in CHRO heaven by building real alignment between business strategy and people performance. We’ll dig into what it takes to cascade goals with clarity and create the manager behaviors that keep those goals alive—through coaching, feedback, and consistent conversations that reinforce priorities and progress.

The importance of aligning performance systems with the day-to-day behaviors that sustain execution

Practical conversation tools managers can use to turn goals into clear expectations and progress

About this Event

Manager Readiness: Building the Skills That Make Strategy Succeed Many organizations are moving fast on ambitious strategies, but still overlooking the one factor that determines whether those plans actually succeed: manager readiness. Expectations continue to rise as work grows more complex. Managers are being asked to do more than ever, often without the skills, habits, or context they need to lead effectively. Layer in evolving hiring models and distributed teams, and the cost of underprepared managers becomes impossible to ignore in the year ahead.

Join Brendon Nimphius (Facilitation Manager, LifeLabs Learning) and Gemma Taylor (Senior Learning Manager, Oyster) as they explore what manager readiness really means and how leaders can start strengthening it now, while there, still time to influence the year.

You’ll learn how to –

Build critical Tipping Point Skills‚ including coaching, delegation, and feedback that drive real manager effectiveness.
Prepare managers for the practical realities of hiring beyond borders, from new expectations to emerging risks and leadership demands

Whether you’re finalizing your learning roadmap, rethinking manager enablement, or navigating increasingly complex hiring decisions, this session will help you focus on what matters most.
