Mission Possible: Seven 007 Tactics to Fire Up Employee Engagement

I like how James Bond thinks.

He uses a lot of strategy, advice and counsel along with some pretty impressive tactics.

That’s why I keep James front and center in my thinking as I go about my daily work to improve employee engagement within organizations. Good leaders (and communicators) know that organizational success happens when employees have a voice and buy in to the mission with heart as well as mind. They feel safe to “speak up,” knowing their opinions count and they make a difference.

In this webinar, I’ll deliver seven 007 employee engagement strategies that have hit the target for me and the organizations I’ve worked for.

The practical advice I will be sharing in this webinar.
