In this episode, we're going to shed light on a sensitive subject that many professionals encounter, but very few understand: performance improvement plans, or PIPs. It's time to bring PIPs out of the shadows and talk about them.

You may be a manager trying to guide your team to success and have a challenging employee who is struggling, and you face having to put them on a PIP. Maybe you are that employee, struggling to understand what is expected of you and frustrated by your lack of advancement and facing a PIP. Let's explore and break down the stigma of what a PIP really is, how it can be used to support growth—rather than be used as a disciplinary measure—and what both employees and managers can do to navigate this often tricky process.

To explore this growing trend, we're delighted to talk with Sonya Sigler, founder of PractiGal Coaching and Consulting, an IP lawyer, and best-selling author of Welcome to the Next Level and What's Next for My Career?
