Donald’s Topics
Hiring and retaining quality employees is a major challenge for Vistage companies, especially with low unemployment rates, the rise of home-based businesses, remote work, and intense competition. This session will cover strategies for attracting top talent, creating effective employee referral programs, understanding the true costs of turnover, addressing the main reasons employees leave, implementing powerful retention strategies, and maintaining morale during tough times.
This workshop takes Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to the next level by exploring how our presence as leaders impacts our effectiveness. We will discuss concepts like playing “above the line,” the need for drama, the power of our stories, the roles we play, emotional energy, and how to lead with the 40/40 approach. The session will also cover ways to coax, encourage, and inspire, as well as techniques for letting go, being inclusive, and fostering faith in our leadership.
