“From spreadsheets to storytelling: the new superpower for reward leaders.”

Numbers matter — but the story behind them matters even more.

In this episode of "Reward in Transition", Reward Recruitment sits down with Marie Delaitre to unpack why reward professionals need to rethink how they communicate pay, performance and strategy.

Marie explains how storytelling transforms reward conversations with boards and executive teams, why the shift is happening now, and what skills reward leaders need to stay credible and influential.

If you’ve ever walked out of a presentation feeling like the data was solid but the message didn’t quite land, this conversation will give you a new lens — and practical ideas to take into your next leadership discussion.
