In this episode of The Full Desk Experience, host Kortney Harmon and producer Katie Jones dive into a letter from an overwhelmed recruiting manager who's finding themselves torn between leadership's expectations and their team's morale. The manager seeks advice on how to improve recruiting metrics without compromising quality or burning out the team. Kortney offers practical solutions, emphasizing open communication, focusing on quality over quantity, and doubling down on coaching and development. With empathy and hands-on coaching, the team can hit their targets while maintaining morale. Tune in for valuable insights on balancing the demands of upper management and the well-being of your team.

What’s one way to empower kids who learn differently? Connect them with near-peer mentors who learn differently, too. 

In this episode, hosts Amanda Morin and Gretchen Vierstra talk with Marcus Soutra, president of Eye to Eye, a founding partner of Understood. Eye to Eye brings together middle school students who learn differently with high school and college students who also learn differently. Hear how mentoring can help kids gain self-awareness and build self-advocacy skills. Plus, hear from two college students, Meera Shamiyeh and Lydia Blazey, about what it’s like to be a mentor.
