How To Retain Great Talent

Accelerate Your Business Growth

Welcome to another impactful episode of "Accelerate Your Business Growth," I'm your host Diane Helbig. Today, we're diving into an enlightening conversation with Gabe DeRita, a former sales professional turned leadership coach, whose own journey of self-discovery led to profound insights on how to nurture and retain talent within organizations.

Gabe shares his philosophy on the importance of cultivating internal talent, the substantial hidden costs associated with onboarding new hires, and why trust and opportunity are the linchpins of employee retention, particularly for high-potential individuals. We'll explore the critical role of personal relationships in creating engagement, and why understanding what truly motivates team members is often the overlooked ingredient in fostering meaningful contributions at work.

Five years ago, Gabe had a successful sales career he thought he wanted, but inside, he was troubled and unhappy. So… he quit his job and embarked on a bike trip around the world, seeking greater purpose. During that time, he discovered a calling in coaching and leadership development. Today, Gabe has trained hundreds of employees across many industries, including leaders from startups to Fortune 500s, on how to build better relationships in the workplace. Be sure to connect with Gabe for a discovery conversation.

Effective Leadership Communication: "If we're not willing to see the places where we're missing, like, actual contact with another person's experience or priorities, and we're just moving forward without clarifying those assumptions or checking for shared understanding, that's where we lose people as a leader."
