Ana Larrea-Albert

Drawing from her award-winning book "The Confident Leader: From Self-Doubt to Authentically You," Ana Larrea-Albert challenges the conventional wisdom that confidence comes from achievement, perfection, or projecting certainty. Through personal stories, surprising insights, and her approach to confidence through alignment, she explores why even highly accomplished individuals question themselves and how reconnecting with your values, purpose, and strengths can change the way you lead. You’ll discover that self-doubt isn’t necessarily something to overcome, and that authentic confidence doesn’t require having all the answers.

Takeaways:

• Challenge the beliefs about confidence that keep even accomplished leaders second-guessing themselves
• Recognize self-doubt as valuable information rather than evidence that you’re not ready or capable
• Identify where your values, purpose, and strengths can help you lead with greater conviction, even when uncertainty remains so you can lead from who you already are

In this interactive keynote, Ana Larrea-Albert introduces three languages: Connection, Growth, and Action, that help us lead more effectively when the pressure is on. Using her Fly vs. Bee™ mindset model, you’ll discover the language you instinctively reach for, learn when another may serve you better, and use the framework to turn a real challenge you’re facing into an opportunity for forward motion.

Takeaways:

• Recognize your default language under pressure and understand what can happen when the person across from you needs something different
• Use Connection, Growth, and Action intentionally to navigate changing priorities, stalled progress, and difficult conversations
• Apply the framework to a real challenge in the room and leave with one conversation to change, and the language to help move it forward "

In this engaging, reflective keynote, Ana Larrea-Albert challenges you to take ownership of your personal and professional narrative instead of letting circumstances, expectations, or other people’s perceptions define it. Through her L.E.A.D.™ framework (Learn, Embrace, Amplify, Deliver), you’ll uncover the experiences, strengths, and defining moments that make your story uniquely yours, and discover how to use them to strengthen your confidence, communicate your value, and create opportunities that align with who you are and where you want to go.

Takeaways:

• Identify the experiences, strengths, and defining moments that shape your story and the value you bring
• Reframe self-doubt, setbacks, and limiting narratives into sources of confidence, clarity, and personal growth
• Craft and communicate a compelling personal narrative that helps you stand out, build meaningful connections, and take greater ownership of your next chapter

In this engaging, interactive experience, Ana Larrea-Albert takes leadership apart to reveal six essential dimensions: the Eyes, Brain, Heart, Throat, Muscles, and Spine. Each plays a distinct role in how we see situations, make decisions, connect with others, communicate, take action, and stand by what matters.

Through her Anatomy of a Confident Leader™ framework, you’ll discover where your leadership is strongest, recognize what may be holding you back, and explore how these six dimensions work together to help you lead with greater confidence, authenticity, and impact.

Takeaways:

• Discover the six dimensions of confident leadership and how they influence the way you think, connect, communicate, and act
• Identify your natural leadership strengths and recognize where self-doubt, habits, or blind spots may be limiting your effectiveness
• Walk away with a clearer picture of your leadership anatomy and practical ways to bring more of yourself into how you lead

In this interactive keynote, Ana Larrea-Albert explores three bridges that shape how we lead: the bridge within ourselves, the bridge to our story, and the bridge to others. Drawing on her journey from Ecuador to executive leadership, she brings to life how understanding ourselves changes the way we show up for others. You’ll explore the gap between what you bring and what others see, discover how your story can create connection, and identify one relationship you’re ready to strengthen

Takeaways:

• Recognize where your values, strengths, and intentions may get lost between what you want to communicate and what others experience
• Give your contributions a voice and use your story to help others understand who you are and what matters to you
• Replace assumptions with curiosity and leave with one concrete action to help a colleague, customer, or community member feel seen, supported, and understood
