Adrienne Clay

Adrienne Clay is a workforce strategy professional with more than 30 years of professional experience.

She has spent her career navigating corporate environments, leading through change, and watching what happens — for better and worse — when managers either show up for their people or don't.

Her debut book, *Before They Resign: What Emotionally Intelligent Managers Do to Keep Their Best People*, was born from that firsthand observation: the quiet disengagement that precedes a resignation, the conversations that never happened, and the leadership moments that could have changed everything. Adrienne writes to bridge the gap between managers and the people they lead — because that space, when left unaddressed, is where talent quietly walks out the door.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance and an MBA, and is the founder of Marc Joseph House Publishing.

She lives in Columbus, Ohio.
