KEYNOTE SPEAKER Don Rheem

CREATE LASTING ENGAGEMENT

Engaged employees are energized by their work and what they can contribute to the team; they love being challenged and making a difference. They are productive, positive, and great ambassadors of your brand – which makes your organization more profitable and successful. To tap into this kind of employee behavior and foster deep, lasting engagement, you need to align the workplace with the brain’s hardwired expectations that allow individuals to perform at their fullest capacity. In this energizing keynote, CEO and author Don Rheem breaks down the science that triggers exemplary workplace behavior at a neurological level, so you can understand how to foster a thriving culture and apply what you’re learning immediately.
