Being Nice Isn’t Enough: Why Top Performers Stay Where They Can Grow

Being nice to your employees is a great start… but it’s not enough to keep your best people.

Your top performers don’t stay because the workplace feels “comfortable.”
They stay where they can grow, win, and build a bigger future.

In this conversation with Dr. Nataliya Storozhylova, we explore the science behind peak performance — and what leaders can actually do to strengthen morale, engagement, and retention without burning people out.

If you want a stronger, more resilient team this year, don’t just make people feel good.

Help them stretch their abilities. Help them win.
