Retention = Listening

Struggling with retention? You're not alone.

A CEO I worked with recently lost multiple senior developers in a matter of weeks. Not to competitors. Not because of pay. But because they didn’t feel heard.

🚨 This isn’t an isolated story. A 2023 McKinsey study found companies with poor communication practices have 50% higher turnover rates.

What’s more? In a recent survey:

🔹 82% of leaders believed their listening culture was "good" or "excellent"

🔹 Only 34% of employees agreed

Perception gap = turnover.

That’s why I wrote "Listening Without Agenda " and why I lead communication trainings that go beyond theory. Using improv-based experiential learning, we help teams practice presence, psychological safety, and trust.
