WHAT’S THE TAKE-AWAY?

If good employees are leaving your organization, AND this is too often a surprise to you - it most surely is an internal and widespread company problem that may be hiding in plain sight from you as a leader.

Too often, companies disproportionally invest more in recruiting new talent than they do in retention of current, trained, and loyal talent. The mistake here is thinking that all is - good in the hood.

Good employees can suddenly leave for really only two reasons: Reason #1 It’s simply the right time for them to leave, and reason #2 they tolerated a workplace that was not fulfilling, to the point where they just had to leave. You can fix #2 … you should be celebrating #1.

WHO ARE DAVE AND KELLI?

An Entrepreneur and Intrapreneur duo with street smarts, ‘preneurial’ chops, and a penchant for storytelling.

Dave and Kelli met as teenagers and have a life-long story of their own. They took separate and very contrasting career paths, both struggling with challenges and celebrating their career successes in very different ways.

Over the years, they noticed similarities in their stories about their work, the people they interacted with, and how business was conducted. Kelli, who “worked for the man like a dog for decades,” and Dave, who “started or ran businesses all of his life,” quickly realized there is substantial value for others in those combined experiences.

The “My Job Here Is Done” Podcast is the result. Ultimately, you’re either building a great business or moving up the career ladder of success, and we absolutely know we can help!
