In the finance industry, talent is everything. Yet, with an 18.6% attrition rate, financial institutions are struggling to attract and retain top, diverse talent. Stephanie draws on her over three decades of experience developing teams and individuals in the finance industry and coaching, advising, and placing Millennials and Gen Zers in the finance industry to reveal why the traditional playbook for talent development is no longer working.
With relentless candor and hard-won wisdom, Stephanie reveals how the finance industry's traditional approaches to recruitment, development, and retention are failing to meet the needs of a new generation of professionals. Through compelling personal stories and practical insights, she demonstrates why diverse talent is walking away from finance-and, more importantly, what can be done to reverse this trend.
This groundbreaking book introduces the Alvista Loop Empowerment Process, a revolutionary approach to talent development that addresses the whole person, not just their technical capabilities. Drawing from her experiences growing up on an Oklahoma cattle farm to navigating the male-dominated finance industry, Stephanie shows how authentic leadership and intentional development can transform individuals and organizations - unlocking purpose, impact, and performance.
Insight to Impact reveals:
- Why early-career talent-especially diverse talent-is leaving finance and how the industry's outdated recruitment and retention approach can be adjusted to help launch careers and reverse the exodus from the industry
- How generational differences are creating communication breakdowns and cultural clashes that threaten organizational success, and what leaders can do to bridge these divides
- Why traditional mentorship programs are failing, and how a new model of "WiFi Womentorship" can create sustainable pathways for women and underrepresented groups
- The critical connection between individual empowerment and organizational growth, and how companies can create environments where both people and profits thrive
