"Committing to and supporting Quarterly Coaching Conversations at the City of Walnut Creek turned out to be a real boost for the culture. Walnut Creek has always been a great place to work, but the improvement from a focus on coaching was noticeable. People were happier, productivity was higher, and engagement rose measurably as a result. I wholeheartedly support this approach. "
Fran Robustelli
Former Assistant City Manager, The City of Walnut Creek
