With over three decades of experience, author Deb Snellen, a distinguished leader in talent management and organizational development, will show you how to transform your organization through innovative talent strategies and leadership development programs that are scalable for any size organization.

An expert in her field, Deb thrives on driving high performance objectives through impactful talent development initiatives. At the University of Missouri Office of Advancement, she pioneered the 4C Talent Management program, which underpinned the success of the $1.3 billion "Our Time to Lead" campaign. This program exceeded its goal by achieving over $1.4 billion, maintained a turnover rate of less than 5%, and garnered national recognition from the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) by winning three awards for outstanding talent management initiatives.

Deb’s expertise is further validated by her involvement with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, where she played a key role in revising the leadership curriculum for the Institute for Organization Management (IOM). She also served on the IOM faculty for over ten years, sharing her knowledge with future leaders.

A recognized thought leader, educator, and author, Deb has published over 100 articles on various aspects of talent management. A nationally known speaker and facilitator, Deb’s presentation on Creating a Student Employment Program was the highest rated session at a recent national conference. Her academic credentials include a Graduate Certificate in Online Learning, a Master of Arts in Speech and Dramatic Arts (now Communication) with an emphasis on Organizational Communication and Training, and a Bachelor of Science in Education, all from the University of Missouri. Her professional certifications include Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) and practitioner certifications in the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument, Situational Leadership II, Franklin Covey programs, and Peerspectives.

Beyond her professional achievements, Deb is deeply committed to higher education and civic engagement. She is an instructor in the Bachelor of Applied Science program for Leadership at Lake-Sumter State College where she teaches Organizational Development, Training and Development and Communication for Leaders. She has also served on the advisory board for the University of Missouri's Department of Communication, managed learning experiences for community leadership programs, and held leadership positions in several professional and civic organizations. Her contributions have been recognized with prestigious awards including the University of Missouri’s Faculty Alumni Award and the Tiger Pride Award from the Mizzou Alumni Association.

Deb’s dedication to fostering leadership and organizational excellence is the driving force behind her upcoming book, "Scalable Talent Management." Drawing from her extensive experience and innovative approach, this book provides leaders and HR professionals with practical strategies to attract, hire, and retain top talent in today's competitive landscape.
