Talent Development Clarity
Grow is designed around frameworks that help you tackle the toughest problems in talent development — like making feedback specific and continuous, running reviews grounded in evidence instead of recency bias, and defining what 'great' looks like at every level.
Public speaking, visual storytelling, engaging presentations and so on.
Designs the presentation around who's in the room and what outcome is needed.
Understands the general audience and adjusts tone somewhat. Often presents for “informing” rather than a specific outcome.
Starts with a clear intent (inform, align, decide, persuade). Tailors depth, language and examples to the audience's context.
Handles mixed audiences (cross-functional, exec + IC) without losing anyone. Adjusts in real time based on energy or confusion.
Reads the room like a strategist. Engineers alignment across competing agendas. Uses sequencing to move complex decisions forward.
Communicates with confidence, clarity and control.
Collecting, analyzing and integrating customer feedback into the product development process.
Collects customer feedback in ways that are consistent, unbiased and useful.
Separates actionable customer signal from anecdotes and edge cases.
Turns raw feedback into clear, prioritized insights teams can act on.
Socializes customer feedback credibly to drive alignment across functions.
Ensures feedback leads to learning, action and visible follow-through.
Understanding and empathizing with customer needs, pain points, and behaviors to design user-centered products.
Roles, Skills & Competencies
Define competencies by role and level so every person knows what "great" looks like at their stage. Sub-competencies break each skill into observable behaviours with levelled expectations — from Associate to Partner — giving managers and employees a shared, specific language for growth.

- Sub-competencies break skills into specific, observable behaviours
- Skills gap analysis for individuals and teams
Impact Logging
Capture contributions as work happens — not months later when memories have faded. Impacts are ranked by magnitude and flow directly into performance reviews, giving managers and calibration panels real evidence instead of recency bias.
- Log impact as it happens, ranked by magnitude from critical to low
- Impacts flow into performance reviews alongside feedback and kudos
- A year of evidence ready when review season arrives — no scrambling

I was the lead engineer behind the development of Komodo's proprietary algorithm for autonomous navigation, which significantly improved the stability and accuracy of vehicle control. My work reduced the error rate in the system's real-time decision-making process by 30%, enabling safer and more reliable autonomous rides.
Hi Kelly,
I wanted to share some thoughts after our last leadership sync, where we discussed the upcoming strategic adjustments. Your role in bringing clarity to complex changes is something I consistently admire. Your ability to distill key shifts into understandable points is unmatched, and it's a skill that makes a real difference in how our team navigates change.
One area I'd encourage you to focus on as we continue this period of strategic alignment is not just creating clarity but sustaining it through consistent, over-communication. Regularly reinforcing those key strategic changes — whether through quick touchpoints, follow-up emails, or reminders during smaller team meetings — can help keep those priorities top of mind for everyone.
Thanks for your attention to this and for your unwavering commitment to making our projects successful. Your influence on the team's clarity and momentum is something I truly value.
Best,
James
Continuous Feedback
Feedback on competencies rated against expectations, skills assessments and open-ended observations — all flowing continuously rather than waiting for review season. When a manager sees feedback that matters, they attach it to a performance review cycle so it becomes part of the calibration conversation.
- Rate competencies against expectations, assess skills, or give open-ended feedback
- Feedback flows year-round, building a pattern of growth — not a single data point
- Attach relevant feedback to review cycles so calibration is grounded in evidence
Performance Reviews
Run targeted review cycles by team, department or role. Each review pulls together impacts, feedback and kudos collected throughout the period — giving managers real evidence for calibration instead of recency bias.
- Audience-targeted cycles scoped to the right teams
- Impacts, feedback and kudos flow into each review automatically
- Calibration workflow with performance ratings and approval states
