Leticia Vandemeersche

Strategic Advisor on Critical Talent Retention

I work on retention where it actually breaks down:
at the point where high performers run into the limits of organisational structures.

For over twenty years, I have worked alongside high-impact profiles who continue to push forward, often faster than the systems around them can adapt.

My role is to translate what this friction signals at system level,
and help organisations adjust how pressure, responsibility and expectations are structured, so they can keep moving forward
without losing the people they cannot afford to lose.

^{THE TALENT TRAP}

The Talent Trap examines why organisations often struggle
to retain their strongest contributors, not because of a lack of talent, but because subtle misalignments in roles, autonomy, challenge and organisational context remain unnoticed.

The book includes a practical manual (PACE) for leaders, offering a structured way to assess where the system unintentionally limits or exhausts key figures.

The manual does not prescribe solutions, but helps leaders identify where adjustments are needed to retain momentum, continuity and responsibility over time.

An analytical compass

Four principles

Autonomy
Pressure accumulates where decision authority is unclear or constrained.

Responsibility
I examine how responsibility is actually carried in practice, not just assigned on paper.

Action
Insight only matters when it leads to timely structural adjustment.

Sustainability
Roles and expectations must hold under real pressure, not just in theory.
