Management Training, Conference Speaker

“How to Attract and Retain Amazing Employees” 

This session is based on the current reality that many companies are facing: low employee retention, low employee engagement, an inability to attract new employees for the long term, and general frustration among managers and employees because of all of these things. Participants will learn how to effectively attract, recruit, and retain staff by:

1. Being prepared throughout the entire employee lifecycle, beginning with recruiting and onboarding
2. Implementing employee training & development programs 
3. Becoming or hiring true leaders who listen and use empathy 
4. Getting rid of poor performers and those with bad attitudes

Attend this session and look forward to a successful future.  

Don’t look backward, we are not going there!

"Three Things Leaders Should Know (in order to get stuff done)"

1. Your personality annoys us
2. Common sense isn't common and 
3. You suck at communicating  

This session is about reflecting as a professional and asking the question: "Am I part of the employee retention problem?" Employees, managers, and leaders will come out of these events with a new perspective to change their workplace behaviors and actions immediately. 

Participants will chuckle while learning about the 4 personality styles using the DiSC model and how the differences can cause (and resolve) interpersonal conflict. We will dive into the fact that common sense is not common because it actually a set of skills learned by a common group of people. This is why it is imperative to take away judgment and offer to teach the skills that are lacking. And finally, the concept of active listening through distractions will be spotlighted through a short group activity.  (Her leadership book, "Suck It Up, Buttercup" goes a few steps further on this topic.)

Five Ways Our Employees Drive Us Crazy and What To Do About It!

👂They don't listen 

✘  They make so many mistakes

🧠 They have no common sense 

😲 They have an entitlement mentality  

🤷🏻‍♀️They just don't care    

This is another humorous session about reflecting as a manager or leader. We will review each point and analyze WHY employees do things to drive us crazy. 

Hint: It is most likely that their manager is NOT using effective strategies of :

(1) clear two-way communication, 

(2) training and development methods, 

(3) making assumptions about their skills, 

(4) forgetting that it is 2023, not 1990, and

(5) not engaging employees effectively.
