Tracy Timm, Thrivist
"Exactly How to Re-Engage and Retain Your Best People"

SYNOPSIS:

Why is the so-called "Great Resignation" happening, and what can we do to face this phenomenon head-on? The newest statistical studies show that toxic culture, job insecurity, and failure to recognize and encourage performance are among the top 5 factors leading employees to leave their jobs. That means organizational leaders (and those being led!) must now create great places to work that engage their employees and show them a path to future success. In this session, Tracy Timm will present a tangible solution to this important issue. She will walk you through an actual use case from 2021 that resulted in re-engaged and passionate employees and provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in employment-related cost savings for the client company. Join Tracy in this unique session to hear and practice strategies proven to help you engage and retain your best people.

BIO:

Tracy Timm is a born-and-raised Texas girl with a Texas-sized dream–to help create a world where people can find (or create) work that capitalizes on their own unique genius rather than settles for something that pays them a lot of money but makes them dread Mondays.

She believes this is possible for you because she found that it was possible for me.

She loves people. She loves writing. She loves speaking. She loves teaching. And she’s found (or rather, created) a job that allows her to bring all of those things together in a wonderful and worthwhile endeavor to do some good in this crazy world of ours.

Of course, this didn’t happen overnight.

It took her a longer-than-necessary job on Wall Street, a pipe-dream-turned-reality 6-month trip around the world, a Hail Mary email to work with a best-selling author, and many… many… many sleepless nights to get to my sweet spot.

That’s all we really want, right? Our work “sweet spot”—something we find meaningful, something we do well, and something others find valuable.

It’s that simple, but at times, finding it can feel like the most complicated and impossible journey ever.

My goal is to make life simple again.

She wants to get you back to the basics of who you are, what you value, where you excel, and how you dream. She wants to help you shed those outside expectations and old labels that have been holding you back and clouding your vision. She wants you to realize that you can and will find work that combines all of these things if you just try.

She’s no sage or maven or Yoda. She’s struggled just like you. That’s the real deal, y’all.

She’s had jobs that left my soul begging my brain to make a change (cough::Wall Street::cough). She’s worked down to my very last dime trying to rediscover myself and create my dream state (thanks to a soul-searching trip around the world). She’s wrestled with the deepest and darkest of life’s questions, and she’s worried that she, too, would become just another burnt-out, stereotypical millennial living at home and lamenting my lot in life.

It was dire, at times.

But she’s seen the other side, too, and she’s here to tell you (especially if no one else will) that you do not have to settle for the life you’ve been given—or even the life you’ve chosen so far! Your authentic self and your true dreams are real and worth chasing.

You can find that sweet spot where the work you love loves you right back. Work that is valuable, meaningful, fulfilling, and productive.

And you don’t have to do it alone. She’s here to help see you through.
