The People Priority
Welcome to The People Priority! I’m so glad you’re here.
After 30 years in recruiting — helping thousands of individuals find their career homes — one truth has become undeniable to me:
When you prioritize your people, they prioritize your organization.
That simple truth has shaped every hiring decision, leadership coaching conversation, and culture audit I’ve ever been a part of. And it’s never been more relevant than it is right now.
In today’s world, talent is mobile. Options are everywhere. But loyalty? That’s earned — and it’s earned through intentional leadership that sees people as the asset, not the overhead.
Why This Newsletter and This Movement Exists
This newsletter was born from a simple, powerful belief:
When leaders invest in their people’s growth, engagement, and fulfillment, everything changes.
When people feel seen, challenged, and cared for, you don’t have to convince them to give their best — they already are. I’ve witnessed this firsthand:
Turnover drops
Culture strengthens
Innovation rises
Leaders emerge from within
Teams find meaning — not just a paycheck
The People Priority is here to give you a regular pulse check, a leadership nudge, and a toolkit of strategies to build people-first cultures that actually work.
