Elmo's Viral Question Stirs Up Conversation

A few weeks ago, Sesame Street went viral on X (formerly known as Twitter) simply from Elmo asking, "How is everybody doing?" This simple question elicited hundreds of thousands of responses, some simple and some profound. One thing was clear: we don’t ask this question enough. So in my latest article for the Santa Barbara Independent, I break down how in leadership if we ask this question more—and truly listen to the answers—we can get powerful results. I hope you'll read it. The insights might help you in your next team meeting.

I worked with Kat and her team at Hitchcock & Associates to help them unravel their communication bottlenecks through learning about their Strengths. I coached them both individually as well as collectively as a team for a few sessions.  During that time, I learned they are committed, passionate and super smart ladies and I loved my time with them. And the feeling seems mutural as they wrote this nice review about me on their last newsletter:

"Speaking of love languages- in honor of heart month- Our business highlight this month is Sara Caputo from Sara Caputo Consulting. We absolutely loved having her come in and analyze our teams efficiency and communication. She helped us understand each others personality traits, communication styles and love languages to help us be more efficient and grow closer as a team. If you work in any team setting or just want to communicate better with your spouse we HIGHLY recommend her services."
