If so, Christina Harbridge is the expert to show us how.  

She’s CEO of Allegory, the behavior change company. She partners with executives to show them how to work with & through others. And let’s be honest, that’s one of the biggest challenges in the workplace… even with rockstars.

Her story is fascinating. As Founder/CEO of a debt collection agency that collected debt by being nice (!) she learned about the power of workplace communication.  This values-based tactic resulted in collections 3 times higher than the industry average.

Christina is also author of Swayed: How to Communicate for Impact, a bestseller on Amazon.

In this 20-minute interview, Christina reveals how to go about the process of changing behavior in your colleagues & employees.

In this 20-minute interview, James reveals how to get passive job seekers - people that aren’t looking for a new job - to pursue your company. 

Wouldn’t that be a nice change?
