The Employee Engagement Advantage: How Winning Cultures Build Winning Customer Experiences.
A signature keynote from Jeff Tobe, Customer Experience Keynote Speaker and Author
In this dynamic, example-rich keynote, Jeff Tobe challenges leaders and teams to rethink what employee engagement really means—and why it’s the most overlooked, underleveraged competitive advantage available today.
Using his trademark creativity, humor, and global case studies, Jeff shows audiences how engaged employees don’t just influence the customer experience—they are the customer experience. Jeff believes, “The more engaged people are INTERNALLY, the better the experience EXTERNALLY”.
This program moves beyond surveys, perks, and platitudes. It’s about building a culture that people choose to be part of—and choose to contribute to—every single day.
What Your Audience Will Discover
1. The Engagement → CX Equation
Jeff breaks down the direct, evidence-based connection between employee engagement and customer loyalty—and why world-class brands invest heavily on the inside before they try to impress on the outside.
2. How Culture Becomes a Strategic Asset
Attendees learn how culture—when intentionally designed—drives productivity, trust, retention, and brand reputation across global markets.
3. How to Spot “Invisible” Engagement Opportunities
Small, often ignored moments shape employee perception more than leaders realize. Jeff teaches how to identify these friction points and turn them into catalysts for growth.
4. The Power of Creative Thinking in Engagement
Borrowing from his bestselling book Coloring Outside the Lines, Jeff gives leaders tools to disrupt stale thinking and empower teams to show up with curiosity, ownership, and pride.
5. Personal Accountability and the Ownership Mindset
Participants walk away with a clear understanding of their role as “experience architects”—for both colleagues and customers.
