Stop Chasing Symptoms: How to Use Leading Indicators and the PI Platform to Hydrate Your Culture Before It Cracks
2026-06-18 14:00 - 15:00
Culture doesn’t collapse overnight. It dehydrates — slowly, quietly, and almost always 9 to 12 months before traditional metrics catch it. By the time turnover spikes or engagement tanks, leaders are already in recovery mode, responding to lagging indicators instead of preventing them.
In this one-hour session, culture consultant, six-time bestselling author, and PI Certified Talent Optimizer Shelley Smith introduces a fresh framework for reading your organization’s cultural health through the lens of leading and lagging indicators — and shows you how the PI Talent Optimization Platform gives you the data to act before the crisis hits.
Drawing from her proprietary THIRSTY Flow-State Culture Framework™ and its three phases — Detect, Restore, and Tend — Shelley maps each phase directly to the PI platform’s four modules: Hire, Inspire, Design, and Diagnose. You’ll see how these tools, used intentionally, become a real-time early warning system for cultural dehydration — and a roadmap back to organizational health.
Special emphasis will be placed on PI Diagnose and how its employee experience data surfaces the leading indicators most leaders overlook: job fit gaps, manager misalignment, team friction, and organizational disconnects — before they become headline problems.
Whether you’re a seasoned PI practitioner or exploring how to get more strategic value from your platform, you’ll walk away with a new way of seeing your people data and a practical framework for using it to build a culture that doesn’t just survive — it flows.

Why Change Fails Even When Strategy Is Right
2026-07-15 14:00 - 15:00
“The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”
Even the most thoughtful strategies, carefully built roadmaps, and well-intentioned change initiatives can falter when unexpected challenges arise. In organizations, those disruptions are often not just operational. They are human.
Whether your organization is navigating restructuring, growth, leadership transitions, technology/AI rollouts, or shifting priorities, successful change requires more than a solid plan. It requires leaders who can adapt when plans inevitably meet reality and guide people through the uncertainty that follows.
This webinar combines the Lippitt-Knoster Model for Change, Predictive Index behavioral insights, and principles of psychological safety to help leaders understand why change efforts stall and how to create the conditions for stronger adoption, resilience, and execution.
Participants will learn how to:

Identify six essential conditions for successful change
Recognize where change initiatives commonly break down (confusion, resistance, anxiety, frustration, and false starts)
Use Predictive Index people data to adapt communication, leadership, and motivation strategies
Understand how team dynamics and psychological safety influence change adoption
Lead teams through disruption with greater confidence, clarity, and effectiveness

This session is ideal for PI Trained Analysts, People Managers, HR Leaders, and organizational change champions who want to move beyond strategy and lead the human side of change more effectively.
