"I attended your session on Monday afternoon at the ASTD conference on "Engaging the Kept-On Workforce" and wanted to thank you for all of your wondeful insight that you shared. Your personality, knowledge, and humility were so impressive. It is difficult for me to properly express just how much I appreciated you taking time out of your schedule to share your wisdom with those of us in the room. I wanted to sincerely thank you for your wonderful session. I wish you continued success, health, and happiness."

“The time you contributed at Freescale was so much more than an hour presentation on career development. You renewed my hope for positive growth and commitment. After years of downsizing and cutting back on any extras, I was in inspiration deprivation. I’m so grateful to regain a sense of revitalization thanks to you!” - Sandi Aiken, VP - Freescale
“Bev's speech was very concrete. The principles are simple, easy bite size, and practical to apply.”
- CEO, Dairy Product Manufacturer
While issues surrounding development are typically rated low on most organizational opinion surveys, they are rated high among the top reasons that employees stay with (or leave) their organizations. Today’s workers may have survived layoffs, reorganizations, budget cuts, and hiring freezes, but how engaged and productive are they? Every employee cares about his/her career – they may recognize their need to take control, but often don't know how. And every manager wishes their career conversations could be easier.

Regardless of the state of the economy, organizations need to keep their talent, physically and psychologically. No organization can afford to remove this subject from their radar screen. Managers have the power – they must learn how to engage, motivate and retain the talent on their teams. Practical "how-to's" are essential for managers who are already overwhelmed.

Bev Kaye speaks on the Manager's Role
Workplace surveys currently report that employees feel disenchanted, discouraged, and disengaged. Organizations are concerned, and rightfully so. If employees are not engaged, they withdraw their energy and their commitment, but often stay put. They wait and watch for the economy to shift or opportunities to open. This does no one any good. Organizations lose. Employees lose. Bev's 2003 book, Love It, Don't Leave It: 26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work (Berrett-Koehler) places the responsibility for workplace satisfaction directly on the shoulders of the individual.
