According to Gallup’s 2025 global workplace report, 79 percent of employees worldwide are disengaged at work. This disengagement now costs organizations $8.8 trillion annually — roughly the combined GDP of the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. It’s the biggest hidden tax on performance today.

But here’s the encouraging part: a small group of companies have found a different path. They build cultures where people feel safe, trusted, and valued. And the results are extraordinary. These organizations see dramatically lower turnover, eight times more revenue per employee, stronger innovation, and more than 3.5 times better shareholder performance than the S&P 500.

Over the past year, I’ve studied dozens of these high-performing, human-centered organizations to understand what sets them apart. What I found is the sustained emotional commitment that keeps employees motivated, customers loyal, and organizations resilient even in moments of crisis and change.

This matters because culture compounds. Engaged people create stronger families, stronger communities, and ultimately a healthier, more connected world. Idealistic? Sure. But directionally and demonstrably true.

The Forever Framework keynote brings this idea to life through powerful storytelling, side-by-side business case studies, and a clear, actionable roadmap for building an engagement engine that competitors simply cannot copy.

Audiences learn:

• Why psychological safety is the foundation of performance

• How leadership behaviors shape culture

• What the best companies do differently in moments that matter

• The seven elements of the Forever Framework

• Practical steps leaders can apply the very next day

This is not a feel-good talk — it’s a call to action. A blueprint for leaders who want to build cultures where people thrive, talent stays, innovation accelerates, and customers love you for life.

The Forever Framework is essential for leaders, creators, entrepreneurs, and anyone who believes that better work leads to a better world.
