This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who wants to know what their team is really thinking (but is too afraid to ask).
A Net Promoter Score, or NPS, is a common tool for measuring customer experience. It asks customers to rate how likely they are to recommend a brand to a friend on a scale of 1 to 10.
We applied the same concept at my marketing agency, Accelity, to gauge employee sentiment. In this episode, I cover why you need to ask what employees think at work and the tough but important lessons weâve learned from four years of surveys.
Tune in to learn how to run an internal NPS for your organization!

âThat wasnât my intentionâ... I hear this a lot. Heck, Iâve said it a lot. As humans, itâs in our DNA to engage with each other, and because weâre humans, that engagement can be messy. So when our good intentions get perceived as negative, that can hurt.
In this episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship, I dig into a recent example of how my good intentions were perceived, and why the perception of others matters. Iâve noticed this becoming increasingly important in my professional lifeâespecially as a leader.
Listen in until the very end for a few tips to make sure our intentions and the reception of our words and actions are aligned!
