2023 Talent Conference
Attendees will learn to use your beliefs/values to engage employees, especially through times of change, and using values to rally teams around how the company is changing.

What have The New York Times, Simon Sinek and Adam Grant all learned about the largest media company you've never heard of? That leveraging change to your team's advantage is the key to success within engagement and retention. Red Ventures has grown from a DirecTV retailer to a portfolio of international media brands with thousands of employees - including brands like The Points Guy, CNET, Bankrate, Lonely Planet, and more. The key to successfully navigating this growth was by leveraging our culture, using key themes/values like 'Everything is Written in Pencil' and 'Being Great People to Work With' as a North Star.This talk will break down how you can scale your culture, engage your top performers and thrive in the toughest of times - including growth/change periods.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the importance of having well-defined values and beliefs.
  • Tie beliefs into actions within your organization.
  • Apply actions to individuals and organizational initiatives to engage and retain employees.
  • Mobilize your teams through periods of growth and/or change, by bringing value statements to life in a real way.

In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
