Workshops + Conferences + Keynotes

We understand the challenge conference organizers face when curating an event agenda that motivates, educates, and inspires their audience. Selecting the right keynote speaker, presentation or workshop goes beyond finding an expert on a timely topic—you need someone who makes an authentic connection and prompts self-reflection and growth.  We have decades of experience guiding leaders through disruption. Our keynotes unleash emotion, humor, and call-to-action to equip leaders for the challenges ahead. From leading diverse teams and directing change to improving hybrid collaboration and driving self awareness, our keynotes tackle leadership pain points head on.

Our interactive workshops and retreats also help leaders tap into the common pain points faced by today’s leaders and workforce. We discuss the mindsets and capabilities that leaders need in order to foster cultures where people thrive. And when a morning keynote and afternoon workshop are tied together, the growth can be exponential. Participants walk away feeling motivated to lead more courageously. And organizers walk away with rave attendee reviews.
