About Pete Schramm

Farm2Founder? Odd, I know…Also 6’8” (yes I played basketball). Quick rundown on me, what I’m all about & what I’m up to- The farm made me who I am today (Butler, PA)- Sports strengthened teamwork skills (played hoops with pros in Hong Kong, Steelers are my football team)- Education taught me how to solve problems - The people I surrounded myself with opened my eyes to opportunities that I didn\'t know existed I migrated south to DC for college -(BS and MS in Mech Engr) and spent the next ~decade with DC as home base while traveling around for school, work, and fun. 30+ countries so far. At Lockheed Martin I had an amazing opportunity to keep our soldiers safe, leading teams to build complex technology. Launching (Lattitude) a B2B Enterprise SaaS company has been a crash course in fundraising, marketing, sales, product development, branding, & HR. I’ve since used my unique skill sets to help advise other companies, & am currently coaching others while writing my first book with two serial authors in the People space. Onboarding, employee engagement, professional development, and leadership development. I am also the Thought Leader on building your personal board of advisors - TEDx talk available to military employees. I am the host of our local SHRM podcast, P4: People, Purpose, Passion, Pittsburgh (https://open.spotify.com/show/3bmnAOUbQ5O8XW2WDwUkJq) I appreciate all the support! Follow my content at #goLattitude #peopleDomatter #whynotnow #farm2founder My primary focus is on improving the employee engagement experience and welcome you to visit Lattitude to schedule an engagement consultation. We have worked with 60+ organizations and 100% of the group admins say “wow - I wish I had this tech platform sooner, it saves me so much time” - https://golattitude.com/employee-engagement-consultation/ Before we chat, here are a few things to consider when it comes to REAL employee engagement… - Get executive buy in (lead by example)- Put a plan in place and get input from your team (empower them to help you iterate)- Lay out the specific timeline for the effort (set goals, expectations, and update cadence)- Start small and focus on quality interactions, recommend people talk, it’s helpful to review educational engagement materials before - Share the engagements back to your admin (maybe that’s you) so you can see trends over time - Is your increase in engagement leading to higher retention and improved profitability yet…is this a lot to track and manage? We are here to help if you want to take 99% of this process off your plate:)
