Sie ist «SRF 3 Best Talent» im August 2026 und steht im musikalischen Mittelpunkt: Naveni, 25 Jahre alt, aus Biel und absolute Do-It-Yourself-Musikerin. Sie schreibt, produziert und organisiert alles selber – bewusst ohne Label im Hintergrund. Wir lernen das Musiktalent hier bei «punkt CH» kennen.

The best young operator in your district has already decided whether they'd work for you — and they made that call from their phone, long before any job ad went live.In Episode 130, Ben Law sits down with Lavinia Wehr, Founder and Creative Director of AgSocial, the socials-first agency built specifically for agricultural businesses. Lavinia grew up on a sheep and broadacre property in Esperance, backed herself into business at 22, and now works alongside some of the country's most ambitious farming enterprises to shape how they're seen online — and who they attract because of it.This conversation is for the family business that's growing, professionalising, and quietly competing for the same handful of high-calibre people everyone else wants. Lavinia and Ben talk through why a strong online presence has become one of the most practical recruitment tools a modern farm has, how the right content shows prospective staff exactly what kind of operation — and family — they'd be joining, and why the businesses getting this right are pulling ahead while others wonder where the good applicants went.You'll hear how to start from a blank page without feeling overwhelmed, what high-performing agribusinesses are doing differently right now, and the small, surprisingly ordinary moments on farm that turn out to matter most to the people watching. There's also a candid thread running through the episode about the next generation — what it really takes to step into a leadership seat in a multi-million-dollar farming business, and why backing yourself early may be one of the most valuable decisions a young person on the land can make.If your family is thinking seriously about who carries the business forward — and how you'll attract the people who help them do it — this one's worth your time.

Sie ist das Gesicht dieses Schweizer Festivalsommers: Noemi Beza, 20, aus dem Thurgau, frisch gekürtes «SRF 3 Best Talent», bei Universal Music unter Vertrag und mit ihrer EP «You'll Find Me There» gerade auf den grossen Bühnen unterwegs. Im Gespräch mit Christoph Soltmannowski erzählt sie, wie sich das anfühlt, wenn plötzlich alles zusammenkommt. Ihre Antwort ist erstaunlich gelassen: «Es hat sich alles mega schön organisch ergeben.» Was von aussen wie ein Blitzstart wirkt, sind für sie drei Jahre kleine Schritte, von denen das Publikum nur einen Teil gesehen hat.Angefangen hat es mit einem Abschlussprojekt in der dritten Sek: ein eigener Song, zum ersten Mal im Studio. Ihr Produzent war der Erste, der ihr sagte, dass man ihre Musik hören will. Davor tanzte sie acht Jahre Ballett und drei Jahre Hip-Hop und erzählt offen, warum sie das Tanzbusiness rückblickend als hart und nicht immer gesund erlebt hat, gerade für junge Mädchen.Im Zentrum des Gesprächs steht «Hear Me», ihr Song über Panikattacken und eine Zeit, in der sie sich kaum mehr aus dem Haus traute. Er entstand in ihrer allerersten Session mit der Musikerin Dana und dem Produzenten BNJI, an einem Tag, an dem es ihr schlecht ging. Statt so zu tun, als wäre alles gut, flossen erst Tränen, dann der Song: «Ich habe erzählt und erzählt, und wir haben geschrieben und geschrieben. Am Abend ist ‹Hear Me› da gewesen.» Heute schreiben ihr Fans, der Song habe sie durch schwere Zeiten getragen. Noemi spricht auch darüber, was ihr damals half: ihre Eltern und eine gute Therapeutin. Und sie erklärt ihre Regel, persönliche Themen erst dann zu veröffentlichen, wenn sie bereit ist, darüber zu reden.Ausserdem im Gespräch: warum sie ihren Stil «Freigeist-Pop» nennt («Ich mache, was ich will»), wie ein Countryfilm mit 14 ihre Liebe zu Banjos und ehrlichen Texten weckte, und wie das Musikvideo zu «You'll Find Me There» in einer 42-Stunden-Aktion am Strand von Finale Ligure entstand, weil Kalifornien dann doch nicht im Budget lag.Sehr persönlich wird es beim Thema Adoption: Noemi wurde in Äthiopien geboren und kam mit vier Monaten in die Schweiz. Diesen Herbst reist sie zum ersten Mal zurück, weil das Kinderhilfswerk, aus dessen Kinderheim sie stammt, sein 40-Jahr-Jubiläum feiert. Eine Konzertanfrage für das Fest hat sie abgelehnt. Sie will dort nicht die Musikerin Noemi Beza sein, sondern einfach ankommen, aufsaugen, geniessen.Und sonst? Arbeitet sie weiterhin 30 Prozent als Pharmaassistentin in der Apotheke, schwärmt von Olivia Dean, Justin Bieber und Nina Chuba, analysiert die Halftime-Show der WM und verrät, warum sie Bierflaschen mit den Zähnen öffnen kann und wie ihr das eine Einladung einer Biermarke einbrachte.Im August steht Noemi Beza am Heitere Open Air in Zofingen (Sonntag, 9. August 2026) und am Open Air Gampel (Freitag, 21. August 2026) auf der Bühne.Kapitel(00:00) Intro(00:08) Festivalsommer: Montreux, Moon and Stars(02:12) Musikalische Familie und das erste Schulprojekt im Studio(03:53) Acht Jahre Ballett: Rückblick auf das Tanzbusiness(05:47) Plattenvertrag mit 20: Universal und SRF 3 Best Talent(08:12) Rastlosigkeit: Musik als Zufluchtsort(10:29) «Hear Me»: über Panikattacken singen(12:21) Wie der Song in einer Session mit Dana und BNJI entstand(14:09) Die Schweizer Musikszene: Support statt Ellenbögen(15:16) Musikvideo-Dreh in Finale Ligure(15:53) Country-Liebe und «Freigeist-Pop»(17:46) Wie ihre Songs entstehen(19:14) Adoption, «Would You Know» und die Reise nach Äthiopien(23:17) Ihr zweites Leben als Pharmaassistentin(26:46) Bühne oder Studio?(28:06) Verstecktes Talent: Bierflaschen mit den Zähnen öffnen(29:06) Pläne: Festivalsommer geniessen, dann neue Musik(31:52) Vorbilder: Justin Bieber, Olivia Dean, Nina Chuba

What if every talent process you ran was AI-enabled — not to replace what you do, but to make you superhuman at it? That's exactly how Matt Hoffman, Head of Talent and Partner at venture capital firm M13, operates. In this episode Matt explains how his team uses AI to help early-stage founders build a talent-first culture from day one – across recruiting, compensation, coaching, and beyond. The results are remarkable. Using tools like Findem for AI-powered sourcing, Matt's team can pinpoint candidates who didn't just work at the right company — they worked there at exactly the right stage of company growth. That's a level of targeting precision that data accuracy and explainability make possible, and that simply wasn't achievable before AI. But here is where Matt's perspective gets truly compelling. AI is often framed as a speed tool, a way to do things faster and more efficiently. Matt pushes back hard on that narrative: AI should make your hiring better, not just quicker. And in the startup world, that distinction is everything.  Every hire at a 10-person company changes the organization by 10% — so getting it right matters far more than getting it done. That is the essence of talent density: finding exactly the right people for where your company is and where it needs to go, rather than simply finding people fast. His advice to HR and talent leaders is as practical as it is powerful: fall in love with the problem, not the solution. Start with the outcome you need to achieve, then let technology enable it — never the other way around. If you have ever wondered what a truly AI-augmented talent strategy looks like when it is built with intention, depth, and relentless focus on talent density, this one's for you.

Mit elf Jahren hörte Eon Awa an einer Pfadi-Waldweihnacht erstmals «All I Want For Christmas Is You» – und war sofort überwältigt von Mariah Careys Stimme. «The rest is history», sagt er. Eon Awa wollte ursprünglich Trickfilmzeichner werden. Auslöser waren die Geier aus «Das Dschungelbuch»: «Ich war fasziniert von allem, was fliegen konnte», erzählt er lachend. «Wenn die Geier ihre Flügel ausbreiteten, drückte ich den Pausenknopf und zeichnete sie ab.» Später entdeckte er Mariah Carey und tauschte den Zeichenstift gegen das Mikrofon. Seither verfolgt er konsequent seine musikalische Vision. Mit viel Herzblut, DIY-Spirit und Unterstützung seines Kindheitsfreundes Ben produziert der 26-Jährige aus Zofingen seine Songs noch immer zuhause – mal im Keller, mal im Kinderzimmer – und arbeitet unermüdlich an seinem Durchbruch.

Levin spricht live über seinen neuen Song und ein Stück Stäfa‑Nostalgie, Noemi Beza zeigt mit ihrer EP eindrücklich ihren Weg nach oben und George bleibt mit «Schoufänschter» der bodenständige Erzähler mit direktem Draht zum Publikum. Noemi Beza ist eine 20-jährige Thurgauer Singer-Songwriterin und arbeitet neben der Musik als Pharmaassistentin. Sie wurde als Baby aus Äthiopien adoptiert und wuchs in einer musikaffinen Familie auf. Nach ersten Erfolgen und Airplay-Platzierungen wurde sie im Juni als «SRF 3 Best Talent» ausgezeichnet – ein Titel, der den Weg für einen möglichen Swiss Music Award ebnet. Mit der EP «You'll Find Me There» verbindet sie modernen Pop mit Indie-, Folk- und Country-Einflüssen und bewegt sich thematisch zwischen persönlichem Wachstum und der Suche nach dem eigenen Platz. Der Zürcher Musiker Levin ist in der Sendung mit «Good Love Hurts So Good (8712)» präsent und spricht live über seinen neuen Song. Die «8712» steht für die Postleitzahl von Stäfa und bildet den Rahmen für eine sehr persönliche Geschichte: inspiriert von einem Jahr in Hollywood erzählt Levin von seiner Jugend am Zürichsee – und davon, dass im eigenen Dorf alle irgendwie Legenden sind. Der Bieler Seeländer George ergänzt die Sendung mit seinem Song «Schoufänschter» und steht für Bodenständigkeit und Nähe zum Publikum: «Das Leben als Buuregiel hat mich am meisten geprägt», sagt er über seinen Weg und freut besonders über ein «sehr gemischtes Publikum».

Es riecht nach einem frischgebackenen Gipfe... äh, «SRF 3 Best Talent»! Toller Duft, der da in der Luft liegt: Noemi Bezas Musik ist leichtfüssig, fein und eingängig. Die Thurgauerin begleitet uns durch den Juni 2026 und trägt neu unser Gütesiegel für Schweizer Nachwuchsmusik. Lernt sie hier kennen!

AI may be transforming hiring, but identifying the right talent still requires human judgment. David Cohen, executive consultant and author of Selecting the Best, joins Nicole Belyna, SHRM-SCP, for a live recording of Honest HR to explore how behavioral interviewing, culture-driven hiring, and values-based selection can improve retention and long-term performance.

The following article of the Talent industry is: “How Much Does It Cost to Lose Your Best Talent?” by Fernanda Cater, Country Manager, Sesame HR.

Heute hat Pascal Gamboni sein neues Album «Mia Barca» (deutsch: «Mein Boot») veröffentlicht. Im Interview erzählt uns das «SRF 3 Best Talent» vom Dezember 2015 von stürmischen Zeiten, durch die er in seinen neuen Liedern segelt, und warum ihm manchmal nicht die Poesie, aber die Worte fehlen.

Nicht jeder wollte schon immer Musiker werden. Levin vom Mundartduo Splendid zum Beispiel hatte einen speziellen Traumberuf. Heute ist das Duo "SRF 3 Best Talent" und hat eine klare Haltung zum Leben. Mehr dazu hörst du in dieser Stunde.

Most companies are letting some of their most experienced, valuable talent walk out the door, and they do not even realize what they are losing. Retirement has long been treated as an endpoint, but that model no longer fits today's workforce or today's business needs. In this episode, Dr. CK Bray explores why experienced employees are not looking to stop contributing, just to contribute differently, and how organizations are missing a massive opportunity to retain knowledge, leadership, and performance. More importantly, he introduces a new way to think about this transition. From phased roles and mentorship to redefining how work fits into later career stages, you will learn how to keep your best talent engaged, energized, and adding value. Because the future of work is not about replacing experience. It is about redesigning how we use it. *HBR March-April 2024. "Redesigning Retirement." Quotes by Dr. Bray "Today's workforce is in unprecedented flux—and organizations can't afford to let their best talent walk out the door." "Retirement is no longer an endpoint—it's a redesign." "Older workers aren't stepping away—they're looking for ways to stay meaningful and productive." "Working longer is linked to lower mortality and greater well-being." "Older workers offer something organizations are losing: commitment, loyalty, and engagement."

Einer ein Chaot, der andere ein Perfektionist – zusammen «Splendid». Mike Egger und Levin Dennler, beide schon seit Jahren in der Schweizer Musikszene tätig, gaben im Oktober 2025 ein fantastisches Debütalbum raus mit ihrem neuen, gemeinsamen Projekt Splendid. Höchste Zeit für unser Gütesiegel!

What if the reason great talent keeps failing at your company has nothing to do with the talent — and everything to do with the environment you built around them?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Hiten Shah, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Crazy Egg, who recently had his first-ever job as a PM at Dropbox after selling his company to them. That 15-month experience as an individual contributor — after a lifetime of being the one who owned the environment — completely changed how he thinks about leadership. Hiten unpacks the viral post that kicked off this conversation and introduces a framework most people have never articulated: vibe leads to environment, and environment leads to culture.They explore what happens when leaders lose ground-level visibility, why escalation is actually healthy in large organizations, and how Hiten's startup FYI built a concrete interview process to hire specifically for environment fit. The conversation moves through the Toby Lütke / Shopify story, the “nothing changes without fireworks” principle, and why most CEOs are outsourcing environment visibility to the wrong people — before pivoting into Hiten's current obsession: running OpenClaw bots inside Slack, pair prompting, and how a two-bot thread with 800 messages built an entire product without Hiten touching a line of code.If you're a founder who's started to feel like a prisoner in the company you built, a leader trying to figure out why strong people keep underperforming, or a non-engineer looking to get serious leverage from OpenClaw bots without using Claude Code — this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Seit wir ihn im Juni 2024 zum «SRF 3 Best Talent» kürten, gab es von Sento keine neuen Releases – bis jetzt. Mit «Phoenix» veröffentlicht der 26-jährige Zürcher nicht nur eine neue EP, er erklärt heute im Interview auch, warum der Hype vor zwei Jahren ihn direkt in eine Schaffenskrise führte.

Am Ende hiess es: Nina Valotti gewinnt den Swiss Music Award in der Kategorie «SRF 3 Best Talent»! Übermüdet und überglücklich ist unsere frisch gekürte Jahressiegerin heute live in der Sendung.

Heute Abend erfahren wir endlich, wer den Swiss Music Award in der Kategorie «SRF 3 Best Talent» gewinnt: Jamila, Edb oder Nina Valotti. Vor der Verleihung des grössten Schweizer Musikpreises schalten wir zu Céline Werdelis auf den Roten Teppich und fühlen den Puls.

Wenn Mary Middlefield bei uns eine Livesession spielt, wir Jamila als «SRF 3 Best Talent» entdecken oder Crimer mit seiner neuen EP zum Interview vorbeikommt, dann steckt «Young & Aspiring» dahinter: Die Musikagentur mit eigenem Label betreut viele Schweizer Acts – und schliesst jetzt ihre Türen. «Young & Aspiring» ist eine in Luzern gegründete Agentur, die seit 2019 aufstrebende Schweizer Musikerinnen und Musiker begleitet und ihnen mit Management, Booking und Label Services beim Aufbau ihrer Karriere hilft. Zu den betreuten Acts zählten unter anderem Jamila, Zoë Më, Mary Middlefield, Crimer oder Valentino Vivace – Namen, die in den letzten Jahren immer wieder auf nationalen und internationalen Bühnen präsent waren und alle das Güetesiegel «SRF 3 Best Talent» tragen. Nach sieben Jahren Tätigkeit stellt die Agentur nun den Betrieb ein. Die Gründer Alain Schurter und Arthur Londeix begründen diesen Schritt mit gesundheitlichen Belastungen wie Erschöpfung und Burnout, die sich über längere Zeit aufgebaut hätten. Bis Ende Mai führt «Young & Aspiring» laufende Projekte noch zu Ende – danach endet die Arbeit der Talentschmiede, die in der Schweizer Musikszene wichtige Impulse gesetzt hat.

Pina Palau, «SRF 3 Best Talent», erzählt dir, dass sie schon als Kind musikalisch war und Fussball liebte. Bis heute lebt sie beide Leidenschaften, Sport und Musik, aus. Mit ihrer Musik startet sie nun durch. Sie rät dir, immer auf dein Bauchgefühlt zu hören.

Dänu Siegrist veröffentlicht mit «Schtärn» sein neuntes Soloalbum und knüpft damit an eine Musiklaufbahn an, die in den frühen 70er‑Jahren begann und ihn zu einer Schlüsselfigur des Berner Mundartrocks machte. Seit den frühen 70erJahren steht Dänu Siegrist auf Bühnen und in Studios, zuerst als Gitarrist der Berner ArtrockBand Lindbergh und kurz darauf als Mitglied der prägenden Mundartgruppe Span, die zum Fundament des Berner Rock wurde. Auch seine enge Zusammenarbeit mit Polo Hofer im Umfeld von «Polo's Schmetterding» trug wesentlich zu seiner Bekanntheit bei. Mit «Schtärn» führt Siegrist diesen Weg weiter und veröffentlicht ein MundartAlbum voller kleiner Beobachtungen und Geschichten, musikalisch geprägt von einer eher akustischen, warmen Grundhaltung. Auf seinem achten Album präsentiert er 13 neue Songs, allesamt von ihm komponiert und durchweg hörenswert. Die 32-jährige Züricherin Pina Palau arbeitet als Assistenzärztin in der Psychiatrie, liebt Parmigiana und Schafe und verpackt kleine Geschichten und Beobachtungen aus dem Alltag in melancholisch-warme erdige Indie-Folk-Songs. Soeben wurde sie bei SRF3 zum Best Talent erkoren und bedankte sich dafür mit einem gelungenen Live-Set. Wenn der Florian mit dem Florian kommt Schnaps dabei heraus. Will heissen: Country-Musiker Florian Fox hat mit dem Mundart-Poprocker Florian Ast zusammengespannt - entstanden ist der Song «Whiskey», eine Geschichte, wie sie das Leben schreibt: melancholisch und doch voller Hoffnung.

«Das ist eine mega grosse Freude»: Pina Palau verfolgt unsere Best Talents schon seit Längerem und freut sich nun, ebenfalls zu unseren Gütesiegelträgerinnen und -trägern zu gehören Pina Palaus Musik hat uns überzeugt mit Sanftheit und Ausdrucksstärke, Melancholie und Poesie. Pina Palau schafft es immer wieder, unscheinbare Alltagsbeobachtungen in Songs zu verwandeln. Ihr drittes Album «You Better Get Used To It» verpackt Erfahrungen aus Heartbreak und Verliebtheit. Vor allem geht es um das, was unausgesprochen bleibt – Geständnisse, Widersprüche, Fragen. Vom Frust über alte Muster, Verunsicherung und Schmerz bis hin zu einem neuen Selbstverständnis. Wie das klingt, hört ihr in der heutigen Livesession.

Unser erstes «SRF 3 Best Talent» des Jahres 2026 heisst Pina Palau. Sie mag Schafe (findet Lieblingstiere aber ehrlich gesagt überbewertet) – und ein absolutes No-Go ist für sie, die Zahnbürste zu teilen. Ein absoluter Liebesbeweis, wenn sie es doch einmal tun würde. Bei Pina Palau gibt es keinen grossen Firlefranz: auf den Punkt, klar und authentisch. Pausen in Gesprächen stören sie nicht – im Gegenteil. Auch in der Musik sagt sie: «Pausen sind doch das Spannendste!» Ihre Songs könnten zu keinem passenderen Zeitpunkt erscheinen, denn sie beschreibt ihre Musik selbst als warmen Regen auf einer Velotour im Frühling.

Anja Gmür alias Kings Elliot lebt in London und veröffentlicht am 26. September ihr lang erwartetes Debütalbum «Born Blue». Im Focus erzählt sie von Freiheit durch Musik, der Spannung vor dem Release und warum die Verletzlichkeit ihr Markenzeichen ist. Schon als Kind wusste die Schwyzerin, dass sie Musikerin werden will.

Welcome to a new episode of the Impact Highlight Series, powered by EUVC, Impact VC and Impact Supporters. Today, we're joined by Tony Jamous, founder and CEO of Oyster. Oyster is on a mission to reverse brain drain and reduce wealth inequality by democratizing access to global job opportunities. Before founding Oyster in 2020, Tony took his previous software API company public on the New York Stock Exchange.Together, we dive into how Tony built Oyster into an impact unicorn, what it means to lead a mission-driven company, and why he believes impact and financial success are collinear. From hiring across 45 countries to creating a billion-dollar company in just two years, Tony shares the lessons, challenges, and values that guide him.This is the playbook for building impact unicorns — straight from the founder's journey.

Schools say: "We've prepared you for work - off you go!" Employers say: "We need people who can do X, Y, and Z." Young people think: "But what on earth do I actually want to DO?"This is the challenge we tackled with our RAF content series with Not Going To Uni - and it's why authentic employer content matters more than ever.In this clip from an awards deep-dive in my recent episode of Employer Content Marketing, I'm explaining how we moved beyond "come and work for us" messaging to genuinely help people discover their career potential.The key insight?People can smell formulaic content from a mile away. We all eventually figure out the format and spot the cynical production tricks.But when content feels real? That's when you create something that actually helps rather than just recruits.Three things that made our RAF series feel authentic:✅ Real employee contributions - not scripted responses ✅ Genuine curiosity - exploring what people learn about themselves ✅ No hidden agenda - helping first, recruiting secondThe result? Content that people trust because it doesn't feel like traditional recruitment marketing.Watch the clip at the top.And watch or listen to the full episode here.Looking to create content that truly helps and inspires? I'd love to chat. Get full access to Employer Content Marketing at www.employercontent.marketing/subscribe

Tony V had the best recruiting pitch last night Saban coming back to coaching? The next Vols to make it to the majors

In preparing for this recording, it just gave me a total PTSD flashback to the pandemic. And we had the Great Resignation. Oh, my goodness. At the time of this recording, it's 2025. I was just thinking about that, and I was also thinking about this idea that once we find a great teammate—a great team member—we want so badly to keep them. I think about the NCAA collegiate coaches right now and what they're having to do, working so hard not just to find new talent, but to keep the talent they already have. It's so easy for these players to go back and forth. So let's talk about this idea of retention in your business so that you can make sure to retain the right talent—the talent that is really offering a lot of value not only to the business and the mission itself, but also to the actual team members. They're finding joy in their work. So let's see if we can liberate you from chaos by helping you retain the right talent. It's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose again. Go check out the Dickie and Donnie Show on this thread, that wonderful podcast that Shawn and Brandon, two of the coaches here at Business On Purpose, have been building for you. We've got a lot of people listening to it. Super fun. Alright, let's talk about retention. To retain talent, you've got to learn to invest time in deep, meaningful conversations. Now, I realize I've just lost a lot of you. Some of you might just turn this podcast off because you're thinking, That is not within my wheelhouse. Listen—people crave attention. You do, too. I do, too. We crave connection. When we feel disconnected, we're likely to go look somewhere else, no matter how rewarding the work itself might be. You might go, Well, this is my ideal job. Yeah, but it's not my ideal culture. So one effective way to foster connection is through what we call the Big 5 Feedback Loop. It's a concept you've heard me mention before on this podcast, and it's inspired by the Big Five safari animals in Africa. And to be honest, I don't really remember what they are—I'm sure there's probably a lion and a giraffe and an elephant or something like that—but you can look them up. The Big 5 Feedback Loop consists of five elements that are crucial for small business success. Just imagine a loop with five points on it. 1. Team Meeting This is a weekly, one-hour gathering led by a leader with a set agenda. It's not new—but it's intentional. One hour, agenda-driven, leader-led. During this meeting, you celebrate big wins, review what we call the "anchor" (the essential culture-building elements in your business), do training, give handbook reminders, celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, and review the upcoming 4, 8, 12, and 16-week calendar. Most people forget to do all that because we get too busy talking about daily tasks and sales. You also discuss your 12-week goals—three quarterly objectives—and you touch briefly on each business system (Marketing, Sales, Operations, Admin) at a high level. This is NOT the time for project-level problem solving. That comes later. 2. Departmental Meetings These are weekly, one-hour sessions focused on specific business systems or departments—Marketing, Sales, Ops, Admin. If you need to combine Marketing and Sales because you're small, that's okay. These meetings dive into repetitive elements and results. In your Operations meeting, for instance, this is where you talk job-by-job and get into production details. But this is the only place to do that. 3. Executive Meeting This meeting is for your high-level leadership team. Even in a small business, it's valuable to zoom out and take a bird's-eye view of things once or twice a month. You talk about strategy, big-picture issues, and alignment. 4. One-on-One Check-ins These are short, 15-minute meetings with each team member, ideally once or twice a month. They follow a five-question format: What big win do you have from this month? What are you seeing and thinking right now? What blind spots do I have? What do you need from me? Here's what I see and what I need from you. (Note: The fifth one is a statement, not a question—this is where you provide feedback.) 5. Annual Performance Review This happens once or twice a year. What makes it work is that it's two-way. Half the review is your evaluation of the team member, and the other half is their self-assessment. You can use the same set of questions for both, usually delivered in a form ahead of the meeting. If you'll implement the Big 5 Feedback Loop—Team Meetings, Departmental Meetings, Executive Meetings, One-on-One Check-ins, and Annual Reviews—you create multiple intentional touchpoints for communication and connection. When you do that, you build a strong, engaged team that feels valued and understood. And when people feel seen and heard, retention becomes less of a challenge. Yes, there will always be challenges—we're working with people, after all—but you can reduce turnover, increase trust, and ultimately improve your business performance.
