Any manager who's struggled to close a significant performance gap or anyone who has ever walked out of an annual review feeling like they've just been processed rather than prioritized knows there's nothing easy about it. Performance management is about addressing behavior routinely and consistently. It's about candidly coaching through challenges and fostering a culture of accountability for lapses in behavior. It's about identifying goals, fast-tracking careers, and in the process, improving the bottom line. The good news is these accountability skills are replicable and learnable. We're all just a few crucial skills away from learning how to manage people and performance daily and directly.

In 2004, Joshua Rivedal moved from New Jersey to New York City at the age of 20 to tackle the world of fame, fortune and the Broadway stage. Eight years later and through a series of remarkable life events, Joshua reinvented himself as a mission-driven international public speaker/educator, author, playwright, standup comic, freelance book editor and ghostwriter, curriculum developer, and educator. As a public speaker and educator, his primary focus is on suicide prevention and mental health; speeches and seminars on his experiences as a survivor of suicide loss, youth suicide prevention, workplace mental health and cultivating resilience—often (but not always) paired with standup comedy. Through his partnership with Skookum Hill, a publishing, consultancy, and production firm he creates content that inspires, educates, entertains, and transforms. As founder and creative director of The i'Mpossible Project, he provides advocacy, entertainment, seminars and peer-to-peer education on suicide prevention, mental health and storytelling.
