  • E26 | The 7 hidden reasons employees leave with Leigh Branham

    Leigh Branham is a leading expert in employee engagement and retention, with a deep understanding of the root causes of employee turnover. As the founder of Keeping the People, he provides data-driven insights and strategies to help organisations create workplaces that attract and retain top talent.

    Employees, Leigh says, often leave due to internal issues rather than external opportunities, usually triggered by personal, often emotional events in the workplace. Those hidden reasons include a lack of career development, insufficient recognition, and a lack of trust in leadership. Leigh encourages managers to hold re-engagement discussions to gauge employee satisfaction and address concerns proactively.

    Takeaways

    • Employees often leave due to internal workplace issues, with triggers like unfair treatment or lack of respect.
    • Trust in leadership is crucial to building a culture of engagement and retaining employees.
    • Effective managers listen, support, and communicate to prevent disengagement within their teams.
    • Strong teamwork fosters well-being; poor teamwork leads to mistrust, hurting morale and engagement.
    • Offering career growth and development opportunities encourages employees to stay and invest in their roles.
    • Specific recognition and appreciation boost job satisfaction, making employees feel valued.
    • Supporting work-life balance and mental health strengthens engagement and employee loyalty.
    • Re-engagement conversations demonstrate that managers care about employees’ well-being and concerns.

  • E25 | High Performance through happy people with Elaine Jobson

    Elaine Jobson has more than 20 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, working with top entrepreneurs and leading JETS Fitness as COO in 2013. She successfully led a management buyout of 129 franchised clubs and expanded JETS internationally across multiple countries.

    Elaine discusses the use of Net Promoter Score (NPS) as a tool to drive the company’s Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) of becoming Australia’s most loved gym, with an emphasis on using feedback to improve operations rather than focusing on scores alone.

    The difference between “good profit” (derived from enhancing customer relationships) and “bad profit” (earned at the expense of customers) is also explored. Prioritising people and culture over profit is highlighted as essential, with a focus on creating a people-centred environment.

    Takeaways

    • Success comes from prioritising people and building a positive company culture over profit.
    • Net Promoter Score (NPS) helps gather feedback and identify operational improvements, not just measure satisfaction.
    • “Good profit” is earned through lasting customer relationships, not at their expense.
    • A clear Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) motivates teams and aligns efforts across the organisation.
    • Employee engagement is a long-term journey that requires ongoing leadership commitment and effort.
    • Embracing Kaizen promotes continuous learning and small improvements for sustainable growth.
    • Leaders must lead by example and inspire their teams to uphold the company’s vision and values.
    • Empowering teams with tools and training ensures long-term success and employee growth.

  • E24 | The human side of leadership with Mo Fathelbab

    Mo Fathelbab is a seasoned entrepreneur, leadership coach, and founder of Forum Resources Network, renowned for fostering authentic connections and impactful growth. An author and speaker, he explores the power of peer support and relationships in achieving meaningful success across organisations.

    Mo highlights how fostering non-judgmental, confidential environments builds deep connections within organisations, contributing to high retention rates. He advocates for shared stories rather than direct advice to strengthen trust. Mo also introduces the concept of “forking up” or “forking down” in conversations – responding with vulnerability or invulnerability, respectively – to sustain meaningful connections.

    Takeaways

    • Showing vulnerability helps leaders build trust and fosters a culture where authentic connections thrive.
    • Confidentiality is crucial for creating spaces where people feel safe to communicate openly and honestly.
    • Sharing personal experiences rather than advice promotes supportive, non-judgmental environments that strengthen relationships.
    • “Forking down” in conversations by responding vulnerably builds connection, while “forking up” can disrupt it.
    • Workplace friendships create real business value by improving engagement and contributing to a positive environment.
    • Empathetic leaders prioritise understanding each team member, creating an inclusive space where everyone feels valued.
    • Gratitude and meditation practices enhance leaders’ resilience, improving their ability to balance work and relationships.
    • Effective facilitation fosters trust, enhancing collaboration, open communication, and collective problem-solving within teams.

  • E23 | Building a Billion Dollar Cult Brand with Barb De Corti

    Barb de Corti is a passionate entrepreneur who has grown her business, ENJO Australia and Santé Skincare, from selling microfibre cloths at expos to achieving over a billion dollars in sales. As an avid learner and advocate for sustainability, she has built a carbon-neutral, ethical business committed to fair practices and reducing environmental impact. It has resulted in a cult following for her products over the years.

    Initially, she aimed to educate consumers on effective, chemical-free cleaning through demonstrations, a novel approach at the time. Although the business experienced rapid growth, scaling from 150 to over 2,500 consultants and reaching $80 million in turnover, the success brought challenges, including overwhelming demands, financial missteps, and personal tolls.

    Now, post-COVID, she focuses on cultivating a loyal customer base and adapting to shifts in consumer habits, including digital sales. Her current goal is to build a more sustainable, customer-focused business that emphasises affordability, safety, and environmental impact.

    Takeaways

    • Educating customers on the mental health benefits of sustainable cleaning practices builds trust.
    • Starting with a direct-selling model, in-person demos foster engagement and boosted growth.
    • Rapid growth can create operational strain and temporarily impact passion and purpose.
    • Effective cash flow management is essential for maintaining financial stability.
    • Balancing online sales with in-person demos aligns with evolving consumer preferences.
    • Cult status builds loyalty through shared purpose and giving customers a voice.
    • Eco-friendly products resonate with values around reducing chemical use, water waste, and plastic.
    • A “better business” focuses on sustainable practices over high turnover.
