Fall is in the air (in Minnesota). School is starting, apples are ripening,  leaves will be falling - soon - and the 12th Annual Talent Management Summit is just around the corner.

I am moderating a panel on Setting the Organizational Pace through Employee Engagement. I have an amazing panel to highlight and draw experience from, each engaged day to day in developing and leading talent management initiatives in their organizations.

I am beginning to get my thoughts together for our session and first off, I set some goals: to engage both the panel and the audience, to look at the issues from many angels and above all, to have fun. Oh yes, one more goal -to not crash and burn my first time in front of this type of an audience.

To do this well, I need your help.

Consider this. "A number of corporations, both large and small, have had to eliminate thousands of positions. Managing talent is crucial to maintain innovation and productivity. Feeling valued, amongst all else, is the heart of retention strategies."

Now, check out the topics below. If you were sitting in the audience, what would you want to know about them? Talent management professionals, what are the absolutely-must-not-miss points?  

• Building confidence in leadership
• Inspiring employees
• Developing tools for productivity

Hit me in the comments or send me an email. If you have a lot to say, we can talk. I'll take anything and everything talent management/employee engagement I can get my hands on!
