This presentation reinforces the 10 key steps necessary to sustain an engaged culture, improve business results, maintain credibility with employees, while also reinforcing that success involves the “mutual commitment” of both leadership and employees.
I-ENGAGE: Your Personal Engagement Roadmap.
Gallup and others claim that in spite of an improved economy, only 32% of your employees are engaged, and we think we know why.

Learn why engagement needs to engage the WHOLE person, with a focus on individual accountability.
“5 Stars! Bob is energetic and right on target.”

Using the latest statistics and case studies, Kelleher makes a compelling and at times hilarious case that one’s state of engagement can either drive or ‘sink’ your business.
