Contented Cow Partners is the team of Bill Catlette and Richard Hadden, the authors of the critically acclaimed bestselling “Contented Cows” business book series. We work with organizations worldwide, by speaking at conventions, conferences, and other meetings of corporations, professional associations, and other organizations; delivering leadership training; conducting employee and customer satisfaction surveys; and providing executive coaching. Our mission is to improve organizations’ performance through having a focused, fired-up, and capably led workforce.
Our work was among the first to establish a clear connection between an organization’s people practices and its profit performance.
OUR MESSAGE
Creating a great place to work is one of the best things a company can do for its bottom line. It’s no accident that the organizations consistently identified as winners also happen to be some of the best places on earth to work. This occurs not as an afterthought, but as a vital, premeditated element of business strategy.
OUR STYLE
Funny, hard-hitting, practical, at times a little outrageous. But always professional. We do our homework, get to know your audience, your industry, and your challenges before we stand on the platform in front of your group. We don’t tell you what we think. We tell you what successful organizations have learned – That being an employer of choice is not a social or humanitarian issue. It is a business issue.
WHAT WE BRING TO YOUR MEETING
- Years of experience leading real people in real companies.
- The cold, hard facts about the return on investment from treating employees with dignity, respect, and consideration, while insisting on high standards of performance.
- Inspiring examples of companies that know how to do it right…and a few that don’t!
- A platform presence, honed from hundreds of keynotes and seminars with leaders like yours, that will make your audience sit up, take notice, and be challenged to go back to the workplace and create a “Contented Cow” organization.
