 Beverly
Kaye’s name is recognized
internationally as one of the most invested, knowledgeable
and practical professionals in career development, talent
retention and mentoring. A dynamic and committed keynote
speaker, Bev’s presentations engage participants,
stimulate learning and inspire action. Hezr ground-breaking
career development, talent retention and mentoring programs

Prior to earning a doctorate at UCLA, Dr.
Kaye did graduate work in organization development at MIT
Sloan School of Management and has taught executive seminars
at UCLA and USC.
Bev has spent years researching corporate
strategies for developing, retaining and engaging knowledge
workers. Her book, Love ‘Em or Lose ‘Em: Getting
Good People to Stay, (Berrett-Koehler, 1999), co-authored
with Sharon Jordan-Evans, has sold over 250,000 copies,
is printed in 14 languages and has reached Wall Street
Journal and Amazon best seller status. Love ‘Em or
Lose ‘Em provides 26 simple strategies (A-Z) that
any manager can implement today. In the new, revised edition,
(Berrett-Koehler, 2002), Kaye and Jordan-Evans take a look
at retention and engagement as two sides of the same coin.
Their new book, Love
It, Don’t Leave It: Get What
You Want Where You Are, is the employee guide for increasing
engagement and retention, and will be published Fall, 2003
by Berrett-Koehler, San Francisco, CA.
In the early ‘80’s, Dr. Kaye
first published her now classic book, Up Is NOT The Only
Way (revised, Davies-Black, 1997), which foresaw the effects
of leaner and flatter organizations on individual careers.
During the last decade, she has worked with a host of organizations
to establish systems to help their employees grow and develop
when “up” has been impossible. At the same
time, she has been a strong proponent of the need for employees
to manage their own careers, rather than leaving career
management to employers. Designing Career Development Systems,
Jossey-Bass, was another classic book co-authored by Dr.
Kaye in 1986. Learning Journeys, Davies-Black, 2001, edited
by Dr. Kaye, is a collection of essays from top management
experts. It offers rich lessons on learning to lead, overcoming
setbacks, remaining open to change, mentoring, developing
self-awareness and more.
Dr. Kaye has received many honors and awards,
including the National Career Development Award of the
American Society for Training and Development. She has
also received the ASTD Best Practice Award for work with
clients: Bechtel, Chevron, Dow Corning, and First USA. |
