On Tuesday, March 16th at 4PM EST, there will be a Chat with Matt featuring George Bradt, Chairman & Founder of PrimeGenesis.

I met George in 2003, around the time he started his executive onboarding business. I have also read several of his books. He is an amazing person and I know you will enjoy our conversation.

Our topic will be: How to rebalance communication in the post-pandemic new normal

Most of you shifted from in-person to virtual communication during the pandemic. Once you’re released from the pandemic restrictions, you’ll shift back. But you won’t shift back far enough or fast enough. Simply restoring your culture after the pandemic is doomed to fail. You have to evolve it. How you communicate is a core plank in your culture. Write for one-way communication. Call or video for two-way. And be in-person to build or rebuild relationships based on active listening, trust, and respect.

Writing, texting, or emailing works for sharing information and ideas.

Phoning adds tone and real-time back and forth.

Video adds facial expressions on top of tone and words – and is ever-more accessible.

In-person, live communication where you’re breathing the same air and engaging your senses of smell, feel, and taste is important for relationship-building through active listening as the basis for trust and respect.

We will be discussing:

- Words/Tone/Facial Expression
- Not all listening is the same
- Safety and Efficiency
- Suggested Communication Guidelines

About PrimeGenesis
Transitions are a Crucible of Leadership
We know, through our personal experiences gained as leaders, that the first 100 days in a critical transition are a crucible of leadership – when managed well, leaders build cohesive teams that succeed. When managed poorly, leaders falter, teams stall, and organizations fail.

These experiences, and our motivation to make things better for leaders during critical transitions, became the initial catalyst for the creation of the tools that became the core of the PrimeGenesis approach to our executive onboarding services and the foundation of our first book, The New Leader’s 100-Day Action Plan.
