Retention: Key Mindsets That Retain Top Talent:
Solutions that improve company culture so your employee’s continually say I want to work here.
LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR HIGH PERFORMING TEAMS
Expecting your leaders to deliver high-performance results when processes are undocumented, and goals remain undefined is expecting too much.
CHANGE THE CONVERSATION, CHANGE THE CULTURE
Learn the steps anyone can take to approach a conversation that has a greater likelihood to resolve differences that otherwise would interfere with work.
Company leaders identify recruiting and retaining qualified employees as their biggest challenge. When you lose your most talented employees it diminishes productivity, disrupts leadership, and reduces morale. This all amounts to an assault on the primary purpose of any business, to make a profit. Companies are looking for solutions but one person can’t tackle this problem alone; it must be a company-wide initiative.
The solution lies in understanding that every employee has a mindset about the company they work for which reflects the level of commitment they have for the organization. In this presentation you will learn to identify the dominant mindset employees have for your company and how to positively influence and change their thinking. You will learn solutions that are repeatable and sustainable, designed to improve your employee’s work experience so they continually say “I want to work here.”
Objectives:
- Learn the 4 mindsets that reveal the level of commitment you can expect from any employee.
- Learn how to discover the mindset of your employees to then forecast future job vacancies.
- Discover the true cost of turnover and how to calculate the cost per position.
- Learn the 5 components of Retention Architecture that any company needs to retain more of their employees.
- Learn the 5 desired outcomes produced by Retention Architecture that can transform you into the company employees never want to leave.
Your opportunities for success increase with your ability to lead others, and there’s good news, leadership is a learnable skill. Failure to acquire these skills will diminish your value to any company or organization; acquire them and your influence will increase. Influence is the essence of leadership.
There are characteristics and practices that make great leaders which will allow you to attain your goals and reach your full potential. This presentation includes stories and videos that will inspire and engage the audience, along with leadership take-aways that each attendee can immediately put to work in their lives.
Objectives:
- Identify the unseen habits that lessen any leaders influence.
- Learn the 4 components of the System of Leadership that enables leaders to maximize their level of influence for greater organizational success.

“I am proud to give Colene my highest recommendation. She has shown that she is a world class leader who has learned much and now is focused on using her vast experience and knowledge for the development and growth of others. Whether speaking from the stage to the large crowd of in a more intimate one-on-one conversation, Colene was highly professional and refreshingly thoughtful in her delivery. She is deliberate. As a keynote speaker at our international conference, Colene was highly engaging, funny, and interesting as she taught information that is timely, practical and highly relevant.”
Colene is truly a professional speaker with polished content that is both insightful and thought-provoking. While focusing on leadership and driving employee engagement, she delivered a fantastic presentation for our group of senior leaders in a short turnaround with minimal time to prepare. I gladly recommend Colene and hope to be able to work with her again soon!
Colene Rogers recently presented a workshop for our Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association’s Leadership Forum on the topic of Retention: Key Mindsets that Retain Top Talent. The attendees gave her the highest ratings possible! She kept them engaged, offered real life examples, made them think, and provided helpful tools to use with their own teams. As the facilitator for this Forum, the added benefit is that Debbut had to pivot to virtual at the last minute. It takes a real pro to do that. I highly recommend her and will certainly consider her for future engagements!
Virtual
With more people meeting online for conferences and group meetings, many of us by now have witnessed the good, the bad, and everything in-between as far as quality is concerned. To that, I have been meeting virtually with my clients for years now and my experienced team is ready to help you deliver a professional virtual experience for your next conference, association, or team meeting.

“Our SHRM Chapter had the privilege of hosting Colene as our April 2020 speaker. The leadership team enjoyed working with her as this was our first time hosting a regular, monthly meeting online. Colene put us at ease and we appreciated her use of polls and breakouts during the meeting for expanded discussions. She was well-prepared, polished, and relatable. We enjoyed the content of her presentation and I am personally looking forward to reading her book which comes out next month. If your HR group is looking for a speaker who has approved SHRM/HRCI content, I strongly recommend Colene. If your group is looking for coaching and leadership content, I urge you to connect with Colene to see how she can help your organization!”

“I worked with Colene on the HR Florida State Council and found her to be the consummate professional. She could always be counted on to deliver. In addition, I attended her Zoom presentation entitled "The future of HR: Strategic Partnerships that create acquisition, engagement and retention solutions". This was an excellent program packed with insightful ideas and information that could be readily tailored for immediate use in any workplace. Her presentation skills and ability to identify and interact with the audience were exceptional. I would recommend her without hesitation to any organization needing help with retention.”

“Just finished Colene’s Leadership Series. Lots of useful information, interactive exercises and tips to help us navigate team member retention, recognition and conflict resolution. Enjoyable and thought-provoking – a game-changer - for newer managers as well as us 20-year veterans. I highly recommend Colene and her course.”

"Colene’s guidance during the Leadership Mastermind experience made it easy to exchange ideas with other managers in my company that I wouldn’t typically collaborate with. Not only did we meet weekly, but Colene also provided materials after each training session that I can use to look back on in the future. Her lesson on tough talks was especially beneficial and turned what could have been an awkward conversation into a productive one for both parties. Colene is both professional and personable, and I highly recommend the Leadership experience!"
