Embracing the Culture Era: An Updated Guide to Leading Today’s New Workforce

Verified @cintas.comOver the past few years, Cara Silletto has been a frequent presenter at our company and she has helped us to develop an entirely new paradigm for how we approach employee engagement and retention through an intentional awareness of the Millennial mindset. Cara makes a compelling case for why business leaders must embrace the Millennial mindset and evolve in order to attract and retain a talented workforce. She also explains the inherent risks associated with refusing to accept this new way of thinking. Her approach is both strategic and practical, giving business leaders a clear understanding of why change is so important, what those changes need to be and a practical method for how to take immediate action.

She brings a fresh insight and solid examples of how the generations are a lot more alike than different. She was hands down the best session at the Association for Talent Development (ATD) International Conference 2017 in Atlanta! Keep up the good work, Cara! You are changing perceptions, one group at a time!"

Verified @cintas.comCara helped us look at Millennials through her lens, and I don't think there is anyone better to teach how to adjust to the Millennial mindset than a Millennial. It blew our crowd away of over 350 folks who came up to me at different times saying, 'this is challenging me, it's moving me and it's helping me think differently.' I can't thank Cara enough for spending time with us!

Verified @uindy.eduOur team thoroughly enjoyed Cara's teaching on generational differences in the workplace. Our staff found her entertaining, practical, and insightful. She did not simply present material, but interacted with our group to challenge and prepare them for working in diverse settings. As a speaker, she listened to us, and crafted a plan to meet our goals for the training workships. She was a home run with our group, and she will do the same with yours.

Cara is a must-have speaker! Her session directly pinpoints the employment issues our association leaders and their member businesses are wrestling with today. And she's not like other generational speakers. She really gets to the heart (and bottom line) of the issue, and her dynamic style unites all the generations in the room as she shares her unique personal Millennial story. I learned so much about a topic I thought I already understood, and so did our members. In fact, several reached out to Cara immediately after the session to utilize her as a resource for their members moving forward. Every association would benefit from her timely and relevant message!

Our leaders have not stopped talking about her session. Cara opened our eyes and our minds to better understand the values and motivations of different people and different generations. It has led to better communication, increased focus on the things that really matter, and more tolerance for the things that don't matter.

Verified @workoneregion10.comCara's presentations are amazing! There won't be a single moment that you zone out. Her content is relevant, useful, and will make you think and take action. Cara engages her audience through humor and honesty. I've had my fill of presenters essentially reading to me throughout a training. Cara's style is a refreshing break from that- she grabs your attention and makes you part of the presentation. I have only attended virtual presentations with Cara and am thoroughly impressed that she is able to achieve that level of engagement without being in person.
