The Real Problem
77%

of your employees do the bare minimum. That’s not a people problem; it’s a leadership one.

Most managers were handed a title and a team, but never taught how to lead and what employees need to do their best work. So talent walks. Effort flatlines. And the cost shows up everywhere: in turnover, in slipping customer scores, in revenue that should be higher.

Here’s the part most managers miss: ‘checked out’ employees aren’t permanent. It’s a gap you can close deliberately.

You can’t leave your culture to chance.
The Opportunity

Build a workplace no one can imagine leaving.

Jill doesn’t sell ‘discretionary effort’ as a feel-good idea. She makes it a business strategy with a number attached. When managers get deliberate about culture, people give their best and the results are measurable.

About Jill

From laid-off executive to the world’s go-to voice on workplace culture.

In 2009, after 22 years climbing the ranks of corporate America — leading Global Internal Communications inside Fortune 500 companies — Jill Christensen was laid off. In that moment, she saw the truth she’d been living: too many organizations treat people like numbers, and it costs them everything. So she built a company to fix it.

Today, Jill is recognized as one of the highest-rated female speakers in the world. A Top 200 Global Thought Leader to Watch and Six Sigma Green Belt, she has shared her methodology with more than 500,000 professionals across 375 events worldwide. Her debut book is a global best-seller, and her award-winning blog was named a Top 100 Corporate Blog alongside Apple and Microsoft.

Off the stage: a dual U.S./U.K. citizen based in Arizona, you’ll find her at an NFL game, a rock concert, a pickleball court, or a Mahjong table.

What Event Planners Say

Jill keynoted our conference and the feedback was amazing. Her book was a sell-out, and attendees spoke about her for the remainder of the event. She was a homerun for our members and program.
