PRESENTATION TOPICS

HIRE • TRAIN • RETAIN

Master the art—and science—of building high-performing teams that drive organizational success

Research from Gallup, McKinsey, and others shows that most employees perform at only 40 to 60 percent of their full capacity. The rest is discretionary effort, which employees choose to contribute… or not! 

Knowing how to activate that untapped potential is the difference between an average team and a high-performing one. Creating employee engagement—the deep emotional and mental connection which employees can form with their work—is the key to unlocking that powerful discretionary effort.

Talent Acceleration

Transform your employees into passionate, collaborative, productive company advocates

An organization can only perform as well as the people on the team. Think of it this way: the ceiling of your business is determined by the potential and the performance of the people who work for you.

Every company grows, or dies, depending upon the ability of its people to scale the organization. They are the bedrock of your company; every success—and failure—begins with their abilities (or lack thereof) to do what’s necessary to support the company’s growth.

In this engaging session, Amazon bestselling author and award-winning speaker Mike Matalone will show you: 

  • What employee engagement is—and why you should care. 
  • How to create the deep emotional and mental connection which employees can form with their work—and is the key to unlocking discretionary effort.
  • How to create fully productive employees in 30 days. 

In short, you’ll come away from this session with newfound tools and instantly-available insights that you can use to accelerate your ability to build high-performing teams that drive organizational success.

Talent Retention

How to increase productivity—and stop that revolving door

Companies that don’t effectively manage and upskill their workforce risk significant productivity losses and stagnated growth. And one of the most common reasons employees seek new roles is their perception of limited career growth at their current company. 

You’re probably familiar with the old adage: People don’t quit jobs; they quit managers. 

Well, that’s not just some random saying; it’s a fact. Study after study shows that the manager has the biggest impact on the retention of their staff. This begins with becoming a performance coach rather than a dictating manager. Think about it: Nobody wants to be managed. But almost everyone is open to being coached. 

The number-one reason employees aren’t as successful as they should be, is that managers are typically bad at defining “success” for their people. That’s like asking them to win a race… but not telling them where the finish line is. 

In this engaging session, Amazon bestselling author and award-winning speaker Mike Matalone will help you understand: 

  • The manager’s impact on retention—and why your managers need to become performance coaches.
  • Why detailed career paths are the keys to increased productivity and retention. 
  • How to define success and conduct a skills-gap analysis that helps your employees hold themselves accountable.

In short, you’ll come away from this session with newfound tools and instantly-available insights that you can use to accelerate your ability to build high-performing teams that drive organizational success. 

Format 

60 to 90-minute keynote, 3-hour to full-day workshop.
