Talent Is Walking Out the Door—Here’s How to Keep It.

On this episode of The Six Figure Speaker Spotlight, I sat down with David Alemian—yep, that David Alemian—the country’s go-to expert when it comes to keeping top talent from ghosting your organization and taking their genius elsewhere.

Let’s get one thing straight: talent retention isn’t just an HR issue. It’s a profit issue. And David’s not here for fluff—he’s here with strategies that flip the script on employee turnover.

So what’s turnover actually costing you?

According to David, more than you think. He’s developed a Turnover Cost Calculator that turns vague percentages into cold, hard dollar signs. It’s a wake-up call for leaders who’ve been underestimating the financial bleed every time someone walks out.

One of his boldest strategies? Life insurance. Yes—really.

But not the kind you’re thinking of. David’s approach uses cash value life insurance as a powerhouse retention tool. Here’s how it works:

- The company funds the policy.
- The employee earns long-term financial security.
- And if they leave early? The employer gets their investment back.

It’s flexible, smart, and totally customizable—and it’s changing how companies think about loyalty and legacy.

Next up: the generational curveball.

Millennials and Gen Z? They’re wired differently. David calls it “shiny object syndrome”—and if you’re not offering benefits that actually mean something, they’re out. His take? Stand out with unique offerings like lifetime income plans and a culture worth sticking around for.

And let’s talk tech—specifically AI.

From automating tasks to helping David craft a surprisingly epic cranberry sauce recipe (seriously), he shows how AI isn’t replacing people—it’s amplifying them. Freeing up bandwidth. Boosting creativity. Making space for what matters most.

Financial security is emotional security.

David isn’t just thinking about today—he’s planning for your team’s future. His strategies help employers offer retirement solutions that keep people grounded and supported, even in times of illness or uncertainty.

And let’s not forget—David knows how to deliver a message.

His background as a performer makes him a standout speaker. He doesn’t just teach—he connects. He tells stories that land. That move people. That turn insight into action.

Final takeaway?

Retention isn’t about keeping people stuck. It’s about giving them a reason to stay.

And David Alemian? He’s showing companies how to do just that—while protecting the bottom line, leveling up loyalty, and creating cultures where talent thrives.
