Fit is forged,
not found.

Retention is a development problem, not a hiring problem. What comes after the hire matters more than the hire itself.

Testimonials

What leaders are saying.

"We've had Breck speak multiple times. He was a fresh voice on a program full of industry-specific talks, and his message applied to our audience just as directly. He's super engaging and entertaining on stage and connects with the room every time. Exactly what you want in a keynote speaker."
Ben Fox — Chief Growth Officer, Five Star Franchising
"Breck struck a rare balance between mindset and application. He quickly built trust in the room and gave our leaders tools they could actually use. For anyone looking to develop their leaders and build stronger alignment, this workshop is absolutely worth your time."
Sheldon Menlove — Vice President, UCCU
"Breck came and trained my team at our corporate retreat. I have seen a million presentations in my career and I was especially impressed by Breck’s ability to communicate practical application of the concepts he taught us. It wasn’t just a plastic presentation that sounds nice and draws a golf clap at the end. He actually connects to his audience and got us to think about how we could benefit from having heard him teach."
Mark Day — President, Remarkable Home Loans

Keynote Speaking

Fit Is Forged, Not Found

When it comes to our jobs, we’re taught to search for the right fit, as if the perfect job is out there waiting to be found. It isn’t. People who thrive at work don’t find fit, they create it. Learn how to make small changes at the margins of your work so it fits your strengths, values, and ambitions in ways your organization will love.

45–60 minutes

Corporate Training

Stop searching for the perfect job and start building it. In this half-day workshop, employees take stock of their own skills, values, and needs, then learn to craft their work to match. These aren’t big asks or dramatic moves. They’re small, deliberate changes at the margins that make people more engaged and more effective, and that their organization will welcome.

    Participants will
  • Learn why fit is something you create, not something you find.
  • Evaluate their own skills, values, and needs to see where their current role fits them well and where it falls short.
  • Apply fitcrafting frameworks to shape their job around what they discovered and leave with a plan they can start using the next day.
Half day, on-site training for employees at any level

Designed for groups of up to 30 participants. All participant materials are included. Larger organizations can use multiple cohorts or a customized organization-wide engagement.

Using simple fitcrafting frameworks, managers will receive tools they can use immediately to help craft a fit with their employees.

    Participants will
  • Learn the principles of developmental coaching and how it’s different from managing and performance coaching.
