Purpose-Driven Talent Retention: Meaning, Motivation & Legacy Inside the Workplace
4 May 2026 (9am-5pm), Singapore, In-person
Why this topic lands strongly right now
Across my work with senior leaders, HR teams, and executive peer groups, one pattern is clear:
People don’t leave companies — they leave meaninglessness.
This masterclass focuses on retention at a human level, not a policy level.
Masterclass structure (highly interactive):
- Why traditional engagement and retention strategies are failing high performers
- The hidden cost of “successful but disconnected” leaders on teams and culture
- How purpose, belonging, and legacy directly impact retention, energy, and discretionary effort
- Practical tools leaders can use to create meaning without changing job titles or compensation
- Real leadership cases from organisations across APAC, Europe, and the US
What participants leave with:
- A clear framework for purpose-based retention conversations
- Language HR and leaders can immediately use with high-risk talent
- A shift from “retention programmes” to retention through connection
Why audiences trust this session:
This work is grounded in my coaching of senior executives, my role as co-founder of a peer-to-peer executive network (900+ members in SE Asia), and the themes explored in my bestselling book Executive Loneliness — where purpose and belonging repeatedly emerge as deciding factors in whether leaders stay or disengage.
