That's Not Who We Are

How do you lead someone who’s lost motivation—but still shows up every day?
This is one of the most common (and most important) leadership challenges. When a team member is physically present but emotionally checked out, it’s not laziness—it’s a signal. Burnout, feeling undervalued, unclear expectations, or even a personal crisis could all be at play.

In this video, Jeff breaks down the right first move: curiosity, not correction.
Before you talk performance, have a real conversation. Notice. Ask. Listen. Sometimes being seen is the first step toward re-engagement.

You’ll learn how to:
✨ Recognize the signs of silent disengagement
✨ Start a supportive one-on-one conversation
✨ Reconnect people to their “why”
✨ Reset expectations with clarity and compassion
✨ Lead in a way that sparks genuine comeback moments

Jeff also shares a personal story from the book about how his own leader stepped in at a critical moment—and why that changed everything.

Big idea: When motivation drops, leadership matters more than ever. Don’t just manage performance—pursue the person. Let them know they matter, and you might be the catalyst for their return to purpose, passion, and impact.

Keep showing up for your people—especially when they’re struggling to show up for themselves.
