The Retention ATM: Fix the Leaks Before You Lose Your Team

You're delivering results, managing competing priorities, and keeping your team moving — but are you unknowingly creating the conditions that push good people out the door?

In this powerful session, Dr. Tonicia Freeman-Foster introduces her Workplace Retention ATM, a practical leadership framework that reframes how we think about team engagement. Every action you take as a leader functions as either a deposit or a withdrawal — and most leaders don't realize how much they're spending until the account is empty.

What You'll Walk Away With

Attendees will leave this session with a clearer understanding of their own leadership patterns and concrete strategies to strengthen the teams they lead. Specifically, you can expect to:

• Understand how everyday leadership behaviors affect team trust and engagement

• Identify "power leaks" — the subtle habits that quietly erode communication and effectiveness

• Apply the Workplace Retention ATM framework to your real-world leadership context

• Leave with actionable strategies to reduce disengagement and support long-term team retention

Why This Session Matters

Retention isn't just an HR issue — it's a leadership issue. The culture your team experiences every day is a direct reflection of the habits, choices, and patterns you bring to the table. This session gives you the tools to lead with clarity, confidence, and intention, so your team doesn't just stay, they thrive.
