What You'll Take Away
Performance reviews don’t have to be a dreaded checkbox exercise. When done well, they’re part of a continuous performance culture—a rhythm of timely, skillful conversations that drive growth, engagement, and trust. With year-end reviews fast approaching, now’s the time to rethink how your organization approaches feedback and development.
Join Stephanie Shuler (Chief People Officer, LifeLabs Learning) and Debra Squyres (Chief Customer Officer, Bonusly) for a lively panel moderated by Dossier Harps (Facilitation Manager, LifeLabs Learning). Together, they’ll share research-backed strategies and real-world practices to help you:
01
Move beyond outdated, annual-only review models
02
Make 1:1s the foundation for continuous performance conversations
03
Equip managers with the skills to deliver feedback that sticks
Stephanie’s expertise is in HR process improvement, scaling teams, employee relations and compliance, and she has guided multiple companies through phases of dynamic growth and change. Her experiences in the healthcare and criminal justice sectors greatly influenced her approach to transparent leadership and instilled her dedication to promoting fair and just cultures. She is a champion for people, healthy organizational cultures, IDEA, and simply doing the right thing.
Dossier believes that great leadership happens on purpose and with intention. Her work focuses on helping leaders build the skills, awareness, and courage needed to communicate clearly, lead inclusively, and navigate the human side of work with care.
She spent three years as a full-time facilitator with LifeLabs Learning, partnering with organizations across industries to develop leaders and strengthen team dynamics. Today, she leads and develops a national group of leadership trainers and coaches who support companies around the country in building stronger leaders and healthier workplace cultures. Dossier is known for creating thoughtful learning environments where people can reflect honestly, challenge assumptions, and leave with tools they can immediately apply in their work.
Her work blends research, practical leadership experience, and meaningful dialogue. Dossier particularly enjoys partnering with leaders at all levels in manufacturing, supply chain, retail, sports, entertainment, and technology, as well as working with multi-national and multi-generational teams.
Dossier holds a Doctor of Leadership degree from Pepperdine University and a Bachelor of Science in Human and Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University. She is a Master Certified Professional Coach and is certified in DiSC and multi-generational team development.
I’ve never believed in leading from the sidelines. For 30 years — across HR, client success, operations, and executive leadership — I’ve gotten in the arena with the people and organizations I serve. Sleeves up, in the work, accountable to the outcomes. That’s what brought me to Selerix as Chief Operating Officer, where I’m leading post-acquisition integration and building the operational foundation for the next chapter of growth. HR tech and HR services operate in one of the most regulated, most sensitive environments in business. Doing this work well — and doing it responsibly in the age of AI — requires more than ambition. It requires discipline, systems thinking, and a genuine commitment to getting it right.
