The Knoxville Chamber of Commerce held their August Lunch & Learn event Tuesday at Knoxville City Hall. The chamber played host to Joel Bennett of Veel Hoeden Consulting as he reviewed the eight conversations business leaders should be having with their team members to drive engagement, trust, productivity, development, and retention. The eight conversations include Goals and Priorities, Solving Problems, Progress Updates, Offering Guidance, What’s Not Working, Celebrating Wins, Personal Stuff, and Everyday Life. Attendees received free resources to implement these conversations in their own workplace. Participants also enjoyed a complimentary lunch of sandwiches, chips, fruit, and water provided by Coffee Connection.
