How to Retain Young Professionals
- The 4 most important things you need to know about retaining a young workforce.
- How to lead your team effectively and provide sustainable support.
- How to create an environment where young professionals love what they do, who they work for and know it’s an opportunity of a lifetime!
There is no shortage of talented, young workers. There is, however, a shortage of talented, young workers who are willing to work at ho-hum jobs that don’t offer high levels of stimulation, opportunities for growth or ways to maintain their wellbeing. Young employees are leaving their jobs at an alarming rate and are reluctant to join organizations that don’t align with their values or put an emphasis on their mental health.
So how can you empower and keep skilled young leaders? During this session, we will explore the four most important things you need to know about retaining and reigniting a young workforce that values your organization.
Great Leaders are Great Coaches
- Discover the single most important factor that leads to success.
- Become crystal clear about your role and responsibilities as a mentor, leader and coach.
- Explore specific techniques to challenge mentees and employees in order to influence and drive higher levels of performance.
- Learn how to approach difficult conversations and manage yourself, as a leader, in moments of potential conflict and tension.
- Acquire a 5-step practical and poignant coaching process to implement with employees and mentees.
Great leaders are also great coaches. If you’re the leader of your team in any capacity, your role is to coach your team. This skills-based, experiential workshop will equip participants with core coaching skills, perspectives and behaviors to leverage the most important asset inside any organization – the people.
This will be beneficial for leaders who want to hone their coaching skills in order to powerfully influence the members of their own team, as well as for mentors who want to provide valuable guidance to their mentees.
How Exceptional Leaders Think
- Discover the single most important factor that leads to success.
- Explore 3 key thinking strategies used by exceptional leaders that you can apply immediately.
- Learn how to prevent yourself from falling into typical leadership thinking traps.
- Become aware of several costly mistakes you may be unknowingly making with your team.
- Acquire practical techniques to challenge yourself and your team in order to drive higher levels of performance.
When we examine leaders like Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Albert Einstein, Lady Gaga and Richard Branson, we find a common thread. Leaders of this caliber share similar thinking strategies.
During this highly interactive and engaging session, you will take a deep look at your own thinking to determine how it is impacting your results both personally and professionally, and you will learn the thinking strategies of the most successful leaders.
You will learn tangible techniques for overcoming your most significant leadership obstacles. Be prepared to see the world through a new lens – the lens of an exceptional leader!

What People Are Saying
Thought provoking, inspirational and insightful…words cited by the members of Virginia’s Hampton Roads Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals following a session with Kim Ades of Frame of Mind Coaching™! Kim’s straight shooting and thoughtful advice left our chapter members with tools they could use to improve both their professional and personal lives.
It truly surpassed my expectations ─ Kim delivered and my team loved it. I love Kim’s storytelling and her connection to my team. She got my members to participate in a very challenging forum. I know they needed this and she helped them so much.
This woman changed my life in about 1 hour! One of the BEST virtual presentations I’ve attended to date. I am taking advantage of this time to learn, learn and learn so that I can be the best I can be. This matters for firstly myself and secondly for everyone I cross paths with. Never stop learning!
As one of the top shows in iTunes, our podcast has access to top talent, so I know it when I see it. Kim Ades is not only a great interviewee, but she actually became one of my mentors in my own quest for growth. She will deliver to your audience and to you as well.
Kim Ades’s talk was nothing short of inspiring. The attendees were made up of highly accomplished managers with years of experience directing the activities of major companies in and around New York City. Everyone walked away with a valuable insight and a deeper understanding of how we impose limitations on ourselves instead of flying free towards our goals.
As a podcast producer and host, I’ve interviewed over 700 guests, including New York Times Bestselling Authors, self-help gurus and Academy Award Winners. Kim Ades was definitely a standout guest for me. I had her on all of my podcasts, and it was a wonderful experience.
During one of her talks, she did a live coaching session with a volunteer. I was sitting on the edge of my seat wondering how she was going to handle each challenge on the spot, but she knew exactly what to say and how to say it. It was super clear that Kim is not only a great speaker, but knows her stuff as both an experienced coach and someone who trains coaches. After I saw her speak, I hired her to be my personal coach and to speak for Entrepreneurs’ Organization.
Every once in awhile, you get an expert guest who is so good that you feel compelled to just hand the entire radio hour over to her. It’s rare, but it does happen. That would be Kim Ades of Frame of Mind Coaching™. Kim is so insightful and enlightening that she can transform anyone in just a matter of minutes. Drawing upon her own experiences and wisdom, she has a knack for showing others how to look within for their own inspiration. Oh, and she’s funny to boot.
I have had the good fortune to attend a number of leadership conferences and workshops throughout my career. The Frame of Mind Coaching™ event we participated in a couple weeks ago is possibly the best leadership seminar I have attended.
For anyone looking to have Kim Ades on their podcast as a possible interviewee, I highly, highly recommend it. I had an amazing time interviewing her. Very rarely do I have guests that you can throw literally any question at them and they answer it; not like, “oh I read this book…” and they regurgitate some answer, but from experience. If there’s anyone out there that is looking for an unbelievable interview, I highly recommend Kim Ades.
I was fortunate enough to see Kim present at a Strategic Human Resources conference in a room of 900 people. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room. She has a way of getting to the heart of things and touching people in a very human way that is irresistible and that you can’t help but relate to.
I have listened to many of Kim’s podcast interviews and have been able to adopt many of her practical ideas to help me tackle life’s daily challenges. I believe she is a fully dedicated and skilled coach with a sensitive and intuitive approach. She has a passion to help people create the lives that they want in a fun and energetic way, and I am grateful for how she has helped me.
Our leadership team attended a workshop given by Kim Ades and it was the highlight of our meeting. We all discovered new things and all felt that Kim understood who we were but also that she was just like us. In a short period of time, all the leaders had a different perspective on what it meant to lead and transform people. I truly and sincerely recommend Kim’s workshop to any company that values their people!
I LOVED your session!!! I was captivated from the beginning to the end. Your stories were excellent. You engaged the audience like a pro. And you were thought-provoking throughout the entire session. Amazing!!
Your talk is food for thought, a great reinforcement of the concepts we have covered in class, and a bridge to what is yet to come. Thank you for presenting this material! It makes a difference for me personally and professionally.
