Cara Silletto

Cara Silletto’s no-nonsense approach to employee retention is both refreshing and realistic. The strategies and tactics that Cara offers identify some very simple, realistic and cost-effective approaches that an employer can execute tomorrow to attract and retain their talent. Her program is a must-see for anyone in leadership, as well as HR and learning professionals.

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. She makes a compelling case for why business leaders must 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.

We were blown away! Cara had us curious from the start, then won us over with insights about ourselves. More than a presentation – she delivered a thought-provoking call to action!

We thoroughly enjoyed having Cara! Her interactive and enlightening presentation was tailored perfectly to our team. We each walked away with a broader understanding of workforce retention challenges and specific action items we can tackle to improve our organization.

People LOVED your presentation and were able to take away from it thoughts that will inform their policies for years to come. We just can’t thank you enough!

Our company invited Cara to present to our leadership group. I was totally impressed with her! I particularly loved the passion! I now have a toolbox of strategies and tactics that I can reference again and again to help me in my own quest to retain our employees. I’m a huge proponent of change, so I really connect with her attempt to get us out of the ‘because we’ve always done it that way’ mindset. She provides real-life examples of how we must think differently. I thank Cara for providing the roadmap for retention!

“I can honestly say that throughout my 30+ year career in senior living, the 4-hour retention training presented by Cara Silletto was by far the most effective, relatable, enjoyable, and meaningful training I have ever attended. […]

I highly recommend Cara for not only those organizations who are challenged with recruitment and retention, but also for those employers who are thriving with employment initiatives and want to keep it that way.”

“You know how in a clutch moment in a softball or baseball game you check the line-up to see who you have coming up to bat?  You are hoping that you are heading into the beef of your lineup with those tried & true players who will do whatever it takes to get a hit. 

I want Cara on my team every day! Whether it’s a gathering of HR professionals, executives, small business owners, or management teams – if Cara is your keynote, you can rest easy. She’s going to do whatever it takes to get a hit. More than that, she’ll likely hit a home run. If you’re ready for a win, get Cara in your lineup now!”

“Cara’s profound understanding of workplace culture, combined with her actionable advice, makes her an invaluable resource for businesses seeking to enhance their organizational dynamics.

Cara’s expertise in workplace culture is truly remarkable. She offers a wide range of services that span every facet of a company, from managers to executives, with the goal of reducing turnover and retaining employees.

What struck me most about Cara’s presentation was the practicality and actionability of her tips and strategies. She not only imparts valuable insights but also generously shares her wealth of knowledge. I wholeheartedly recommend Cara as both a speaker and a consultant.”

“Over the years, Cara has transformed the mindset of our members, many of whom were a bit “set” in their ways (not surprising for concrete people!). Our leaders now realize staff aren’t just leaving for “a buck more an hour,” and that they must make the necessary changes to become more attractive employers. Together, she and I are on a mission to make the concrete industry an employer of choice, not just a job!”

“Cara provides the roadmap to retention!”

“If anyone has “cracked the code” on generational change in the workplace, Cara has.”

“Cara is a rockstar, not a single person checked their phone during her presentation!”

“We look to collaborate with experts and there is no one better than Cara!”

“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!”

“Cara’s message addressed the reality of today’s complex staffing situation and offered the hope and practical advice I needed to turn things around. We all have turnover, but she gave the creative solutions we employers need to slow the revolving door and keep our staff longer!”

“Our audience loved Cara’s presentation and were able to take away thoughts that will inform their policies for years to come.”

I simply cannot state enough how incredibly valuable the content, wisdom and insight Cara shared is – especially in today’s market. She gave practical strategies everyone present can take back and begin to implement right away. Her message was delivered in a way that time flies because you are so incredibly tuned in to every word she says! Our members have had nothing but great things to say about the presentation that she brought.

In forty years of booking keynote speakers, I look for two things: fit and connection. Cara Silletto did her homework to make sure her message fit our group and boy did she connect with them through a content-rich and powerful talk that fit into our tight, thirty-minute, time slot. We will definitely use her again, and you should book her now!
