Cara Silletto

Cara Silletto, MBA, works with organizations to reduce unnecessary employee turnover by bridging generational gaps and making managers more effective in their roles. She's a highly-sought-after strong female speaker conducting 50-100 programs annually, and as a Millennial herself, she knows first-hand what it is like to have a heightened sense of entitlement, very little employee loyalty, and a dependency upon her smartphone. Silletto has figured out exactly how these attributes were cultivated in her formative years and she now shares those powerful stories about today's new workforce with leaders across the country, including teams at Toyota, UPS, Cintas, MGM, and Humana's Learning Consortium.

Silletto spent 12 years in the workforce learning early in her career what "professionalism" meant to her Baby Boomer and GenX mentors BEFORE she became a speaker. She absorbed critical information about management expectations, which she learned the hard way and has the scars and stories to share about how generational gaps impact businesses today. She earned her Master's in Business Administration (MBA) from the top-ranked University of Louisville Entrepreneurship program, lived overseas teaching German executives about business practices in the U.S., and then started her own consulting business in 2012.

Silletto is the author of the 2018 book, "Staying Power: Why Your Employees Leave & How to Keep Them Longer," and has been quoted in Forbes, The Boston Globe, the Huffington Post and many more publications. She was recognized by Workforce Magazine in Chicago as a "Game Changer" for her innovative approach to solving generational issues in the workplace. Recruiter.com named her in their "Top 10 Company Culture Experts to Watch" list and she's a 2018 "Forty Under 40" recipient in Louisville, KY. She has served as the President of the Association for Talent Development (ATD) Kentuckiana Chapter and the Kentucky Chapter of the National Speakers Association (NSA).
