The Mattering Advantage

THE HIDDEN DRIVER OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE

What if one of the biggest drivers of performance is the one most organizations overlook? When people know they matter, they show up differently. They engage more deeply, contribute more boldly, and become more invested in the success of the organization. In this dynamic, science-backed keynote, Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo reveals why being seen, valued, and essential is far more than a feel-good concept.

Through compelling stories and immediately actionable strategies, Dr. E shows leaders how to make mattering a powerful catalyst for engagement, contribution, and results.

Because when people know they matter, they don’t just show up.

They step up. Audiences will walk away with immediately actionable tools to:

  • Identify and close Mattering Gaps that quietly undermine engagement and performance.

  • Use Strategic Mattering to discover what makes each person feel genuinely valued.

  • Turn everyday interactions into powerful signals that people are seen, valued, and essential.

  • Apply Dr. E’s proprietary Mattering Multiplier to strengthen contribution, commitment, and performance.

  • Build a culture where people want to contribute, grow, and stay.
