Pay raises. Pizza Fridays. Pep talks.
You’ve done it all and the same problem keeps showing up: good people leave, morale dips, and you’re left filling gaps again.
It’s not because you’re failing, it’s because the system most managers inherit wasn’t built to keep people.


Loyalty is built in micro-moments. It's how you listen, how you lead, and how you show people they matter.
The Keep Factor | Loyalty Lab helps you uncover what drives commitment in your team and teaches you how to build it, one human moment at a time.

small shifts that make big impact

Just real world tools that work.
When I first started leading teams, I thought loyalty was something people either had or didn’t.
But then I learned, loyalty is earned in the small moments.
It’s the “How are you?” that’s you really mean.
The “I’ve got your back” that’s proven and trusted.
The first time I watched a burnt out team turn into a tight knit, high energy crew, it wasn’t because I changed the system.
It’s because I changed how I showed up for the team.
That’s what I’ll help you do here.

You might be thinking:
“Can something this simple really work?”
“My team’s too small for leadership training.”
“What if it doesn’t stick?”
I’ve led thousands of employees on 5 star teams in hotels, restaurants, and resorts. I’ve seen the frustration from the inside and I've seen how human centred leadership changes the game.
Here’s what I know:
When you focus on connection over correction, things change, fast.
And once you learn how to keep people, you’ll never lead the same way again
“Stephanie has been a mentor to me since my early days in the industry. Her guidance helped me grow with confidence, and even in my departure, she continued to lead with grace and generosity.”
“We stopped hiring out of desperation. The culture shift was immediate.”
“Stephanie reminded me why I love this industry. My team feels seen again and it shows in how they treat guests.”

Each lesson is under 10 minutes — and every shift fits into the work you’re already doing.
Culture starts with one leader and one moment. That’s enough to start transformation.
If you complete all five experiments and don’t feel a measurable shift, I’ll book a personal call to help you course-correct, at no extra cost.
If you show up and do the five experiments and don’t feel a shift — I’ll personally book a one-on-one call with you to help you get unstuck.
That’s how much I believe in what this can do.
No risk. Just results.
Six weeks from now, imagine this…
You walk into work and notice it immediately, lighter energy, laughter, calm confidence.
The people who used to avoid eye contact now make it.
No one’s quit in a month.
That’s the ripple effect of leadership done differently.
That’s The Keep Factor in action.
Five weeks.
Five small shifts.
A team that stays.
The best leaders don’t just keep their people, they keep their promise to them.
You’re not scrambling to plug holes in your roster. You’re stepping fully into your role as the leader who builds loyalty. Not through perks or pizza, through presence, purpose, and culture that moves people from just showing up… to staying.
Here’s what happens when you step into the Leadership + Loyalty Path:
