About Joe Slatter

Most teams aren’t obviously broken. They’re just carrying more friction than they need to.The work is getting done. Meetings happen. Deadlines get hit. And still, the same issues keep showing up. A decision comes back around. Fire drills become normal. Things looks fine on paper, but the team is feeling something else entirely. At Better Practice, we help teams see what’s actually getting in the way and improve how they work together. Sometimes that happens through consulting and design work. Sometimes through Better Together, the product we built to help teams surface patterns, focus on what matters, and get better over time. What changes? Less friction. More clarity. More useful conversations. Teams stop spending so much energy on things that shouldn’t be this hard.The real proof is what people say:“It didn\'t occur to me that they might not be pulling in the same direction. Now I’m an evangelist.”— Jeff Wadholm, SVP Revenue Ops, MeridianLink“With Better Practice, I see the possibility of making teamwork about individuals connecting meaningfully for a shared goal rather than trudging through an assignment. For the first time, someone (Better Practice) is asking each individual to reflect on what they want and communicate it to others. No one ever asked me what I wanted to get out of a team project, until I started working with Better Practice. ”— Savannah Davis, Team Member
