Francie Jain- Unlock Employee Potential: How Group Coaching May Help Transform Workplace Culture & Slash Turnover

Is your organization struggling with the revolving door of talent? In today's competitive market, retaining top performers requires more than competitive salaries—it demands a workplace where people feel valued, connected, and inspired to grow.

Join Abbey Crane for an illuminating conversation with Francie Jain, founder of Terawatt, who reveals how her innovative approach to group coaching is revolutionizing how companies invest in their most valuable asset: their people.

Francie shares why her marketplace model is making professional development accessible beyond the C-suite: "We really push group coaching because it's much more affordable. If you're a CEO or CFO, you may get one-on-one coaching as part of your benefits package. Whereas if you're a practicing contributor, you're definitely not getting one-on-one coaching."

"If you feel like you could just be as miserable, $10,000 more a year is a worthwhile reason to leave," explains Jain. "But if you felt like this was the most perfect job you've ever had, you wouldn't feel like an extra $10,000 would be worth it."
