"At LifeServe, the Connected Leader practices aren’t just a leadership framework - they’re how we lead at every level. From senior executives to frontline managers, we’ve seen measurable improvements in employee engagement and retention.

 The consistency of weekly 1-on-1s has created a culture of accountability, alignment, and performance - all while keeping our teams connected to LifeServe’s mission.

 But the real impact? We’re building future leaders. 

 Connected Leader isn’t just improving today’s performance; it’s equipping us to develop talent, scale our work, and create long-term success."

“Recognizing that personal and professional growth is a lifelong endeavor, we appreciate that the Connected Leader program provided our leaders with the tools to excel.

This program has significantly enhanced our workplace culture, transforming manager-associate interactions and empowering our leaders to foster a more engaged and developed team.

Leaders have learned to build meaningful connections, deliver effective in-the-moment feedback, and dedicate time for their team's individual growth.

The program even had a trickle-down effect, with new leaders learning from their managers, truly becoming just the way we work!”

“We've been using the connected leader model for five years, and it is the foundation of everything we do from a leadership perspective.

The tools Mike provided us help our supervisors better connect with their teams on a personal and professional level, making them more effective at their jobs.

Perhaps the biggest change I've seen is the increased trust throughout the whole organization, which has been critical during times of rapid change.”
