"I want Cara on my team every day! Whether it’s a gathering of HR professionals, executives, small business owners, or management teams – if Cara is your keynote, you can rest easy. She’s going to do whatever it takes to get a hit. More than that, she'll likely hit a home run. If you’re ready for a win, get Cara in your lineup now!"

VP Human Resources

"Cara’s expertise in workplace culture is truly remarkable. She offers a wide range of services that span every facet of a company, from managers to executives, with the goal of reducing turnover and retaining employees. What struck me most about Cara’s presentation was the practicality and actionability of her tips and strategies. She not only imparts valuable insights but also generously shares her wealth of knowledge. I wholeheartedly recommend Cara as both a speaker and a consultant."

"Over the years, Cara has transformed the mindset of our members, many of whom were a bit 'set' in their ways (not surprising for concrete people!). Our leaders now realize staff aren’t just leaving for 'a buck more an hour,' and that they must make the necessary changes to become more attractive employers. Together, she and I are on a mission to make the concrete industry an employer of choice, not just a job!"

Executive Director

"Cara is a must-have speaker! Her session directly pinpoints the employment issues our association leaders and their member businesses are wrestling with today. I learned so much about a topic I thought I already understood, and so did our members. In fact, several reached out to Cara immediately after the session to utilize her as a resource for their members moving forward. Every association would benefit from her timely and relevant message!"

ABOUT CARA SILLETTO

Workforce thought leader and keynote speaker Cara Silletto, MBA, CSP, works with organizations of all sizes to reduce unnecessary employee turnover by bridging generational gaps and making managers more effective in their roles. As an early Millennial herself, she knows first-hand what it is like to have a heightened sense of entitlement, very little employee loyalty, and a dependency upon her smartphone. However, unlike many Millennials, Cara has figured out exactly how these attributes were cultivated during her formative years, and she now shares that story with leaders across the country, including teams at Toyota, UPS, Cintas, and Humana.

Cara learned early in her career, from her Baby Boomer and GenX mentors, what “professionalism” meant to them, and absorbed critical information about management expectations during her first decade in the business world. She then went on to earn her Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from the top-ranked University of Louisville Entrepreneurship program, and then lived overseas teaching German executives about business practices in the U.S. In 2012, Cara started her consulting firm Magnet Culture, a Crescendo Strategies company.

Workforce Magazine in Chicago named Cara a “Game Changer” for her innovative approach to solving generational issues in the workplace and Recruiter.com listed her in their “Top 10 Company Culture Experts to Watch,” list. Today, she’s a highly-sought-after national speaker conducting 50 to 100 engagements annually and she has earned her Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation, which less than 10% of speakers achieve. Louisville Business First named Cara one of their 2018 Forty Under 40, and she is also the author of the book, Staying Power: Why Your Employees Leave & How to Keep Them Longer.

CARA SILLETTO PROGRAMS & TOPICS

Embracing the Culture Era: An Updated Guide to Leading Today’s New Workforce

Amidst the continued challenges of attracting and retaining talent, leaders are grappling with disengaged employees who no longer respond to traditional management styles. The former one-size-fits-all approach has become obsolete as today’s team members each require a personalized care plan. This demands more time and attention from already overloaded leaders, who have the most influence on whether people stay or go.

We must prioritize culture and lead differently to meet the unique needs of today’s workforce. Join us to explore the new Magnet Culture guide to create a place where people want to work.

 

  • Explore the workforce evolution and how critical it is for managers to own their impact
  • Discover ways to better guide and support staff on an individual level
  • Learn to influence team members’ levels of accountability and awareness

It's Not About Birth Year: The Evolution of Employees from A to GenZ

Instead of fueling the “us versus them” fire on your team, it’s time to explore the “why” behind the unique mindsets of our multigenerational workforce. Understand how Baby Boomers, GenX, Millennials, and GenZ were raised differently and the impact of their upbringing on the employer-employee relationship. We will also dispel myths about younger workers’ perceived lack of professionalism and work ethic.

Magnet Culture’s award-winning generational lens provides valuable insights to navigate key challenges and opportunities presented by today’s new workforce. It’s time to create a workplace that more effectively manages multi-generational teams, as one-size leadership styles no longer fit all.

  • Explore today’s widening generational gaps to reduce judgment and improve team relationships
  • Uncover strategies to manage the spectrum of employee mindsets, from GenZ new hires to returning retirees
  • Learn critical tools leaders need to provide clear guidance and support for all staff

Workforce Wake-Up Call: It's Time to Recalibrate Our Work World

Finding and keeping lasting talent today is harder than ever because the employer-employee relationship has evolved dramatically since the days of lifelong pensions. While organizations can reduce employee turnover, they cannot eliminate it, which means staffing challenges – and their financial impact – are here to stay. We’ve reached a tipping point now where managers and employees can no longer “do more with less,” and still meet organizational goals and customer expectations, so bold changes are needed moving forward for organizations planning to remain in business.

While many industries have normalized business practices that are no longer effective for managing today’s new workforce, executives hold the power to recalibrate to a more sustainable approach that balances operations and our people. Join us to explore the new Magnet Culture guide to operationalize unavoidable turnover and keep the staff we cannot afford to lose by creating a place where people want to work.

  • Explore the perspective of today’s new hires to avoid the growing disconnect between leaders and staff.
  • Reconsider organizational priorities, budgets, and systems to improve ROI on retention initiatives
  • Create sustainability by determining improvements to workloads, organizational structure, and compensation

The Magnet Advantage: Becoming a Team of Retention Champions

When employee turnover seems never-ending, it negatively affects everyone on staff and keeps organizations from building cohesive teams. As many organizations remain consistently understaffed, it becomes vital that everyone plays a part in improving retention. Doing so means less stress and more restful sleep at night for all!

This session will energize and empower your entire team to reduce “us versus them” conflicts at work. Participants will leave this powerful, engaging session with a renewed sense of commitment to the organization and ownership in the retention solution. Our people are our greatest retention advocates, so let’s all attract others onto our teams, instead of repelling the talent we can’t afford to lose.

  • Learn how to increase personal and team accountability, especially among new hires
  • Grow awareness of self and others, learning ways to reduce judgment and conflict
  • Become a magnetic Retention Champion who helps reduce team turnover
