Eva Benn Speaking Topics
Hackers don’t wait for permission, they analyze, adapt, and execute. In this inspiring session, Eva Benn shows how the hacker mindset can be applied to career growth, innovation, and personal resilience. Drawing on her expertise in ethical hacking and years at Microsoft and Big Four consulting, Eva demonstrates how persistence, adaptability, and unconventional thinking can help you break into new industries, overcome obstacles, and rewire limiting beliefs. Success isn’t about following a script, it’s about knowing how to break in. Audiences leave with practical tools to approach challenges differently, create new opportunities, and hack their own path forward.
What if you approached your life the way a hacker approaches a system? In this motivational keynote, Eva Benn shows how hacking principles can help you break through self-doubt, unlock confidence, and create opportunities where none exist. Combining her journey as a globally recognized cybersecurity leader with her passion for empowering women and advancing diversity in tech, Eva equips audiences to see obstacles as puzzles, not dead ends. By learning to reverse-engineer limiting beliefs and execute bold moves with precision, attendees leave energized, motivated, and ready to level up in both career and life.
Real transformation doesn’t happen in comfort — it’s forged in the climb. In this powerful talk, Eva Benn, a mountaineer and cybersecurity leader, shares how to reprogram your relationship with fear and discomfort to unlock resilience, adaptability, and growth. Just as hackers break into complex systems by thinking differently, and climbers reach summits by pushing past fear, individuals can embrace discomfort as a catalyst for personal mastery. Attendees gain practical tools to outsmart fear, embrace challenge, and approach life’s toughest moments with courage — emerging stronger, more resilient, and ready to perform at their highest potential.
AI is reshaping the future of work at lightning speed — but the biggest risk isn’t just security, it’s burning out the people behind the innovation. In this keynote, Eva Benn offers a hacker’s survival guide for the AI era. Drawing from her frontline work in cybersecurity and psychology, Eva shows how to reverse-engineer your inner operating system to stay focused, adaptable, and creative while everything around you accelerates. Audiences leave with a practical “AI Survival Kit” — strategies for clarity, resilience, and sustainable leadership that help turn AI from a source of overwhelm into a force multiplier for growth, innovation, and human potential.
On paper, Eva Benn had it all — a global career, awards, and success. But a health collapse forced her to confront a profound truth: she wasn’t living her dream, but a borrowed script of what success “should” look like. In this moving keynote, Eva helps audiences question the borrowed definitions of success they’ve inherited and reclaim their own authentic path. Through powerful storytelling, she reveals the hidden costs of chasing borrowed dreams and offers a roadmap to un-borrow your life. Attendees leave with clarity, courage, and a renewed sense of purpose — ready to live success on their own terms.
