Create Great Culture Even When People Work from Anywhere

Do your leaders know how to engage employees in our increasingly hybrid work environment?  

Engaged workforces deliver 21% higher profitability, so the insights and practical strategies Aliza reveals from her years as an executive to foster connection, collaboration, and a sense of purpose among dispersed teams are truly valuable. 

Her keynote guides the audience through a series of best practices to engage employees effectively. She emphasizes clear communication and outlines strategies to increase a sense of connectedness. She focuses on managing feedback loops and personalized recognition to make employees feel valued and appreciated. 

By the end of her speech, audiences are inspired and equipped with practical strategies to ensure their workplace culture is engaging employees and harnessing their full potential.  

Six Mindshifts Empowering People to Rise and Thrive

Are employees flourishing at your company? Aliza has spoken with workers at all career stages to share up to six powerful mind shifts that help them rise and thrive professionally – and love their lives at the same time. Through storytelling and relatable examples, she shares the attitudes and actions used by those who successfully navigate today’s work challenges, with advice that inspires audiences and helps them apply these strategies in their own day-to-day work lives. 

Diversity in Leadership

 

We all know having women on boards and in management improves performance – the statistics are clear. When you are on board, as Aliza is, you can see diversity at work – from increased product innovation to higher profitability. The key question is how to achieve greater diversity, especially when the catchphrase- “but we couldn’t find a qualified woman” is still common.

Aliza’s keynote covers allyship, corporate intention, training, and mentoring, and highlights why gender diversity is important and how it can be achieved. She addresses specific steps companies can take and actions that women can take themselves.

Voices of the Community

Aliza delivers valuable insights for all employees on how to manage their careers and for leaders on how to better engage employees. Her approachable style makes sessions enjoyable, even funny. And her illustrative stories make the messages clear and actionable.
