Today, we’re exploring a topic that’s front and center for every talent development leader: building a high-performance culture and cultivating genuine community at work.The pressure to create thriving, connected, results-focused organizations has never been higher—and getting it right goes far beyond slogans or perks. Developing the right mindset, practices, and community is a true differentiator, especially for fast-growing companies navigating constant change.Our guest, Stacey Porter, Chief People Officer at Procept Biorobotics, returns with invaluable insights from her decades of experience, including:Her approach to intentionally designing culture—treating it like a product you can shape, market, and continually refine.How high-performance isn’t just about hiring smart people, but empowering teams with real decision-making authority and clarity.Why "getting 1% better" is more than a slogan—it's a practical framework for individual and organizational growth.The tactical side of leadership development, spotlighting Procept’s internally-built "Spark" program and how it motivates, equips, and connects managers from every function and level.Creative ways to foster career mobility, drive retention, and create a workplace where connection and community fuel lasting engagement.Her shift from using traditional ERGs to intentionally nurturing "tribes," so employees always have a circle rooting for their success.Even in a rapidly scaling tech organization, Stacey demonstrates that the right language, rituals, and targeted development can build an adaptable, strong culture that withstands the pressures of growth. She also candidly shares how performance, belonging, and community aren’t just "nice to haves"—they're essential for business results and personal fulfillment.This conversation was recorded for the Talent Development Hot Seat Podcast and contains a wealth of details you can bring straight to your team—including insightful metrics, innovative program design, and actionable tips to strengthen both leadership and community.Stacey is not only an expert in HR and talent development—her commitment to people-centric business and leadership is clear in everything she shares.Tune in for an episode filled with practical wisdom, creative strategies, and inspiration to elevate your culture, your people, and your business.Connect with Andy Storch here:WebsiteLinkedInJoin us in the Talent Development Think Tank Community!Connect with Stacey Porter here:LinkedInMentioned in this episode:Learnit prerollVisit learnit.com/andy to start your free 45-day trial of their Team Pass which includes unlimited classes for up to 20 people.
