WHAT IS ATTACHMENT THEORY? 
& WHY DOES IT MATTER FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION?

Attachment theory is a well-researched psychological framework that explains how our early relationships shape the way we connect with others throughout life, including in the workplace. Attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—are deeply ingrained patterns of behavior that influence how leaders interact with their teams, make decisions, and handle stress. With over 60 years of research backing it, attachment theory provides invaluable insights into leadership effectiveness. Understanding and improving your leaders’ attachment styles can lead to stronger team dynamics, higher employee morale, and a more successful organization overall. By addressing this often-overlooked aspect of leadership, you can unlock new levels of growth and employee engagement within your company.

The Missing Link in Your Company’s Growth Strategy: Your Leaders’ Attachment Styles

THE PROBLEM


In today’s fast-paced workplaces, leaders often rely on authority and control to drive results, but this approach can create toxic environments, damage team morale, and lead to high turnover. The real key to effective leadership isn’t authority—it’s influence, grounded in secure attachment styles. These leaders lack the emotional health and security to inspire and motivate their teams. The impact on organizational success and employee mental health is profound.


THE SOLUTION


My speech, “Leading with Influence,” offers a revolutionary approach to leadership development, introducing the psychology of attachment theory for work. Drawing on my three years of research on attachment theory and over 15 years of corporate experience, I provide actionable strategies to teach leaders how to develop secure attachment styles, enabling them to lead with influence rather than authority. The result is a workplace where teams are motivated, collaborative, and committed—not because they have to be but because they want to be.

Each day is a missed opportunity to create a workplace where your teams are motivated, your customers are delighted, and your profits soar.

MY STORY

​

Studies indicate that over 50% of employees quit jobs due to bad managers, not the nature of their work. Working in the corporate world for over 10 years, I experienced how toxic leaders and emotionally unaware people managers were driving burnout, strained relationships, and professional dissatisfaction on a massive scale. I discovered a science-based method using attachment theory psychology to hire and develop emotionally healthy leaders who foster greater collaboration, retention, and well-being in the workplace. As an author, speaker, and course creator, I help organizations transform their leaders’ effectiveness, employee retention, and team dynamics by helping people managers develop secure attachment styles.
