In this powerful episode, Danielle Ralston and Tim Blonsky unpack one of today’s biggest challenges in the workplace: the urgent need for better managerial training in the face of shifting workforce demographics, poor leadership retention, and a lack of support for employees with hidden disabilities.


With baby boomers retiring and younger generations unable to fill the leadership vacuum, Tim and Danielle reveal how untrained managers are silently driving turnover, tanking team morale, and putting companies at risk of ADA violations.

  • Prevent the cost of bad management (75% of employees leave because of it!)

  • Address the unmet needs of neurodivergent and disabled employees

  • Help organizations embrace skills-based hiring

  • Support legal compliance with ADA regulations

  • Improve productivity and retention through personality-based management


Whether you’re a business owner, HR leader, or frontline manager, this episode offers real-world insights, personal stories, and actionable solutions to build a stronger, more inclusive workplace.


Topics Covered:

  • The retirement wave and leadership gap
