Fuel Innovation, Engagement, and Retention with the Stories Behind Progress
with keynote speaker Lisa Bragg

What if your organization’s greatest wins are happening right now—but no one knows about them? Most organizations celebrate outcomes: the final deal closed, the product launched, the award won.

But behind every success lies a story of effort, resilience, and collaboration—stories that are often invisible.

Here’s the challenge: when progress isn’t made visible, executives lose insight into their teams, managers miss opportunities to foster innovation, and individuals feel overlooked. The result? Lost trust, stalled collaboration, and disengaged employees—costing U.S. companies $450–$550 billion annually in lost productivity.

For executives, growth narratives offer a blueprint for building cultures of trust and resilience. For managers, they’re a practical tool to foster collaboration and unlock innovation. For individuals, they create opportunities for recognition, growth, and empowerment.

Organizations that embrace growth narratives—authentic stories that highlight not just what was achieved, but how—see measurable results: 88% of employees who feel recognized for their progress proactively innovate, and teams with high visibility experience significantly higher engagement and retention.

This isn’t just about sharing stories—it’s about transforming how organizations think about success.
