Intentional Engagement Rita has taken social interaction (including social media) and created a very unique twist on why Intentional Engagement is the over-arching remedy for a conflicting corporate culture, a negative organizational behavior, turnover and poor leadership. As a former executive in the corporate world, Rita understands the limitations leaders face. She helps leaders understand that discipline doesnt have to be negative and that leadership can always be positiveeven in negative situations!

Turnover is rampant in todays business world; jobs are few and many businesses are looking for opportunities to consolidate responsibilities, retire big salaries and hire new replacements paying lower salariesall in an effort to conserve money in this weakened economy. Many are trying to put band aids on their businesses not realizing that the band aids are costing thousands of dollars each. Employees are so hungry for positive feedback in today's stress-filled workplace that many would prefer input from their leader over more money. Too little feedback is one of the top causes of turnover. American Express conducted a survey with the results being that 46% said the number one desire was personal feedback and the number two desire was financial rewards. In a world of faces and numbers, we NEED to feel that we truly matter.

Leadership has been a subject of great controversy for over a century. Some have spent their lives in search of the most productive method to lead the masses. We have run the gambit of the very tightest controls, such as timing bathroom breaks, to no control at all. Because leadership will affect another persons life forever, either negatively or positively, it should never be taken lightly. Engagement, in todays world is very different from engagement in the generation past. Today it involves a very different kind of leadership, an understanding of positive organizational behavior and positive corporate culture, the education of group think, the embracing of social media and the engagement of social interaction. Our world truly has changed and it is never going back to the way it was. Wise business folks will see the vision and run so as to win!

Many professionals have the courage to step up, but not so many have the courage to step out with an unshakeable confidence. They need to understand that stepping out is not just movement, its movement with pointed purpose. Pointed purpose provides unrelenting confidence. They need to see the full package. Rita can infuse that understanding into them.

Social Media is the newest kid on the block, only this kid is bigger, and stronger, and smarter than all the other kids. BUT, this kid has the potential to be your best friend and most verbal promoter...just a little difficult to understand. This kid can also be your worst enemy if you ignore him. Life will never be the same because of this new kid and those who hesitate or refuse to create a relationship will suffer great loss. Understanding the why leads to understanding the concept. Many organizations still view social media as playing on the web rather than understanding that it is an unbelievably powerful tool for creating a collaborative infrastructure for their business.
