Breaking the Talent Trap - Why You Keep Settling (and How to Stop)

Objective: As a result of this workshop, leaders will rethink how they define and attract top talent so they can build stronger teams that raise performance, not just fill roles.

Leaders today face a new talent reality. This session focuses on becoming a talent magnet by uncovering leadership blind spots, connecting your capacity to your team’s performance, and building a culture where top talent chooses to stay and grow.

This workshop equips leaders to:

1.Identify leadership blind spots that quietly limit your team’s performance
2.Examine how your current mindset shapes the talent you attract and retain
3.Understand what A-Players truly want from their leaders
4.Define practical actions you can take now to elevate your leadership and become a true talent magnet

INSTRUCTOR: Justin Shaffer of Pinnacle Business Guide

As a former Army Special Operations leader and now founder of Growth Navigator Solutions, I’ve spent my career helping leaders perform at their highest level—whether in combat zones or boardrooms. Today, I work with business owners and leadership teams to align their people, purpose, and processes so they can achieve scalable, sustainable growth.

Over two decades in Army Aviation taught me that the best teams aren’t built by chance—they’re built through clarity, trust, and deliberate leadership. The same holds true in business. When leaders understand how their mindset, communication, and structure influence the talent they attract and retain, everything changes.

My goal isn’t to lecture—it’s to help leaders see the connection between who they are and the results their teams deliver, and to equip them with tools they can apply the moment they walk out of the room.
