In this week's Quick Fire Friday (QFF) episode, Rob interviews Sally Murfet, Chief Inspiration Officer of Inspire AG. She runs a business advising agribusinesses and farms across Australia, focusing on leadership, team development, and succession planning. With her extensive background in agriculture, she's now in the people space, helping businesses thrive. In one of Sally's case studies, she shared a powerful example of a client facing performance and conduct issues with an employee.

By adapting how they communicated and offering support, the business retained the employee and improved productivity significantly.
