SHOWNOTES
In this episode of Speak Onstage, I’m addressing a problem that every manager and business leader dreads: why are your best employees leaving? We often blame high salaries elsewhere or lack of commitment, but the truth runs deeper. From poor management practices to a lack of genuine connection, I’m unpacking the real reasons why your team might be walking out the door—and what you can do to fix it. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to re-engage your team, retain top talent, and create a thriving workplace culture.
