About the Speaker

Theresa Chilcoat 

Founder of 

Inner Authority Co. 

Theresa Chilcoat is the founder of Inner Authority Co. and author of Surviving the Toxic Workplace from an HR Insider: A Roadmap to Power, Peace, and Happiness. After more than 15 years inside human resources, she saw a pattern most leaders miss; employees don’t suddenly quit, they disconnect long before they leave.

Through her keynote, Retention Signals: What Employees Need to Stay (and What HR Can Fix Fast), Theresa teaches leaders how to recognize the early signs of disengagement most have been trained to ignore and what to do about them before it turns into turnover. Her approach replaces reactive retention strategies with practical, behavior-based leadership that restores energy, voice, recognition, and ownership across teams.

In her Attention to Retention Workshop, Theresa trains leaders to recognize the real-time signals of disconnection that lead to turnover and equips them with practical tools to intervene early, navigate change, and retain their people before it’s too late.

Theresa holds a master’s in strategic human resources from the University of Denver and maintains certifications from HRCI and SHRM. She has been an active member of DallasHR since 2015.
