The Culture - Commitment Gap: Why People are Showing Up but Shutting Down

In today’s workplace, too many people are showing up but shutting down - they are present but not performing. Disengagement, missed deadlines, stalled momentum, and low morale quietly erode motivation from the inside out. The goal isn’t more culture; it’s more commitment - commitment that bridges generation gaps, connects performance to purpose, and turns quiet quitters into passionate players. 

The problem isn’t that employees have checked out; it’s that they haven’t checked in - with themselves. They aren’t lazy, they’re lost. Because the truth is most people don’t want to be pushed - they want a reason to move.

Join award-winning employee activation and culture transformation expert Kendra Mack as she turns quiet quitters into purpose-driven performers, motivating employees to STEP up before they step out.

After this session, event participants will be able to:

  • Reclaim their energy, attention, and focus.

  • Connect to purpose and see the impact of their work personally and professionally.

  • Take charge, drive results, and own their outcomes.

  • Communicate and collaborate more effectively across teams and generations.

  • STEP into challenges with greater confidence and courage.

When you stop managing motivation and start cultivating contribution, your team won’t just show up - they will STEP up with clarity, confidence, and courageous commitment.

Kendra’s message cuts through the fluff and hits where it matters most. With storytelling that makes the audience feel seen and a breakthrough moment that activates real change, this keynote reveals the surprising truth: success isn’t about more hustle—it’s about courageous commitment.

Using her STEP™ Framework, Kendra offers one powerful action audiences can take immediately to regain momentum and see purpose in where they are right now. Whether you’re leading a team or leading yourself, this message will reignite your fire and show you how to move from autopilot to aligned.

  • I would say that this webinar is great for managers needing help learning how to coach their team into taking on new roles and fostering growth and trust. I think it also is great for managers needing help figuring out what their path is, what impact they have in their current role, and how to plan and conceptualize their future.

  • Best keynote of the day! I feel filled and inspired. I feel like as a manager, all I hear is what I can do for my team but Kendra poured into me, she inspired me, and I can now go do that for my team.
