Let’s cut through the nonsense.
Your company probably does engagement surveys. Maybe you added some perks – free coffee, casual
Fridays, a ping pong table nobody uses. You talk about culture in meetings.
And meanwhile? Your best people are secretly job hunting. They show up, do the minimum, and save
their real energy for after 5pm.
You’re losing talent. Losing productivity. Losing money.
Here’s why: most engagement efforts are completely backwards. They focus on surface-level stuff instead
of what actually makes people care about their work.

But some speakers know how to turn this around. And they can teach your team to do it too.
Meet the People Who Make Employees Actually Want to Show Up
Tia Graham studies the science of workplace happiness – and how it connects directly to performance.
Her presentations aren’t fluffy feel-good stuff. They’re evidence-based strategies that make people more
engaged, more productive, and way less likely to leave. Your team learns specific techniques that create
real results you can measure.
Jeff Tobe knows that people want to contribute ideas and solve problems – if you let them. His
presentation “Let’s Get Engaged” shows you how to tap into that natural desire instead of shutting it down
with bureaucracy and red tape. Your employees will actually feel valued for their brains, not just their
ability to follow instructions. Jeff is a rehabilitated HR professional who has been on the front lines of an 8,000 person
organization and shows people what it ACTUALLY takes to get people engaged at a grass roots level.
Joe Mull specializes in keeping your top performers from walking out the door. His talk “Employalty”
gives managers actual frameworks for having career conversations that matter – not the awkward annual
review kind, but real talks that make people want to stay and grow with you.
Richard Hadden focuses on the daily leadership behaviors that make people loyal. Not grand gestures –
everyday interactions. His keynotes teach managers practical techniques for building trust and recognition
that turn ordinary moments into reasons people want to stick around. Employee engagement is what Richard
does best. He is the author of the book, “Contented Cows Give Better Milk”
Amy Vetter gets that your employees are whole human beings, not just worker robots. Her presentations
show you how to support people’s lives – not just their productivity – without sacrificing performance.
You’ll learn how to create engagement that lasts instead of burning people out.
Michael Kerr proves that workplaces don’t have to be miserable. His talks like “The Humor Advantage”
and “Inspiring Workplaces” give you strategies for creating environments where people actually enjoy
coming to work. And guess what? When people like being there, they perform better, stay longer, and
treat your customers better too.
What You Actually Get
Forget the vague inspiration. You get:
- Assessment tools to figure out what’s actually broken
- Conversation scripts managers can use right away
- Step-by-step processes for recognition that works
- Ways to measure if engagement is improving (and if it’s affecting your bottom line)

Why This Can’t Wait
Every day you lose an engaged employee costs you thousands. In recruiting. In training their replacement.
In lost productivity. In the morale hit when everyone else sees good people leaving.
And your competitors? The ones with great engagement? They’re scooping up the talent you’re losing.
Here’s the Real Talk
You have two choices.
Keep doing what you’re doing – surveys that go nowhere, initiatives that fizzle out, watching your best
people leave while you wonder why.
Or bring in someone who actually knows how to create workplaces where people want to contribute their
best work.
These speakers don’t give you theory. They give you practical strategies that work in the real world with
real people who have real lives and real options.
Because here’s the thing: your employees are already engaged. Just maybe not with you. They’re engaged
with their side hustles, their hobbies, their job search.
The question is – are you going to give them a reason to be engaged at work?
These speakers show you exactly how to do that. With strategies you can start using next week. With
results you can see in retention, productivity, and people who actually care.
Your people either want to be there or they don’t. These speakers help you make sure they do.
