BiographyVickie Causa, CEO of CausaAssociates, LLC is a seasoned global human resources executive with keen insights into leadership employment issues. She spent most of her career leveraging exceptional communication skills and an energetic attitude to motivate personnel to exceed objectives. Leaving the corporate world as a senior vice president of human resources, she is solidly qualified to present and speak on leadership, adversity, communication, attitude, motivating teams in transition and the status of employment today. Vickie acknowledges that she actually held down two full time jobs - in a corporate sense and on the home front - wife and mother, and corporate executive. She will share experiences, tips, techniques and proven methods for balancing all of the responsibilities and stress we face each day.
As Vickie traveled extensively throughout the US, south east Asia and Europe, she developed a perspective of cultural differences both in the business arena and what motivates employees across cultures and generations. This experience allows her to speak to a variety of topics surrounding communication, leadership, work-life balance and surviving the ever-present challenges of the corporate world.
A published author, Vickie’s works include A Job Hunter’s Guide, the ABC’s of Job Hunting and the 1,2,3’s of Nailing It!; Leader/Manager: Either Both – Six Levels for Success; and There’s No Place Like Here, a work that allows the reader the opportunity to appreciate the fact that we all have something to be grateful for, even on the worst days. Vickie was recently quoted in Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine, has appeared on more than a dozen radio shows from coast to coast, has been a guest panelist on News12 Westchester, is a columnist for the Putnam Examiner, and recently presented a key note speech at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC.
Vickie will speak about overcoming adversity as she climbed the corporate ladder. She will speak about the difficulty in lending advice and counsel to decision makers, and how complicated it can be when you are the only one in the room who believes in doing the right thing. Through her corporate experience, Vickie understands how decisions affect a company and, in a different manner, the employees. She will share experiences on delivering tough messages, and motivating employees in very trying circumstances.
