How Approachable Leadership Helps Reduce Turnover and Improve Retention…

Reduced Turnover and Tension

“I’ve noticed a big difference at our facility.  It’s a very positive feel & feedback from my people.  Instead of, ‘I’ll get to it’ attitude, they now go with their people. .. listen & act.  There was a tension here that’s been reduced.  And, our turnover is now less.” Dennis, Plant Manager

 

Improved my Professional and Personal Relationships

“I’ve used his 3-question strategy every day, both in my personal and professional relationships, to become a better coach, sister, and friend.”  Lori, Business and Entrepreneurial Services Coordinator

 

Stop-Listen-Confirm Helped Me Connect Better with Staff

“I have a problem “multi-tasking”:  keeping on the computer when people stop by my office to ask a question or talk.  I was listening… but… not really listening.  And, I had a habit of working on my answer to their question before they were finished with their comments.  I’m now adopting the “SLC” principle.” Ray, Training Attendee

 

Work is More Fulfilling and Fun

“The ’60-Day Challenge’ woke me up. In my communications, I found I hadn’t made myself as clear as I thought I had. When I asked the first question, I did get some, ‘Yeah, right!’ type responses.  But, I stayed with it.  Personally, this effort made me feel very good. Now, it’s like, ‘Good Morning Viet Nam!’ when I come in.  I’m more focused and on task.  Work is now more fulfilling.  I’m having fun coming in to work.” Fred, Workshop Attendee

 

I’m Enjoying Coming to Work Again

“I’m using and asking the “3 Questions”.  I’m working on reducing the ‘PITA’s’.  I love giving positive feedback. I’m enjoying coming in again.” Orly, Workshop Attendee

What Others Say About Approachable Leadership

Here is what others have to say about recent Approachable Leadership Keynotes and Workshops.

Great Interactive Session, New Techniques

"I recently attended the Approachable Leadership Session with Phil Wilson at the CUE Conference in Denver. It was a great session. I loved the interactive sessions, they really help you learn some new techniques. Phil does a great job involving the participants and keeping everything moving at a great pace. I am so enthralled with this training that I brought Phil to our location to put my troops thru the paces for approachable leadership!"
Laurie Galmeyer, Director of Human Resources, ETFN

Masterful Approach Captured Audience

“Phil is masterful in his approach and paints a compelling vision. He has the ability to capture an audience’s attention and take them on a journey through images and anecdotes. Whether you have 1 or 100 supervisors in your organization, I would recommend Phil Wilson’s “Approachable Leadership” session. And learning how to live longer and make more money wasn’t so bad either.” 
W. Alex Koch, Manager of Positive Associate Relations, TJX
