Kerry Barrett Speaking Topics
Confidence is widely treated as a prerequisite for action, visibility, and performance. In reality, confidence is unreliable — even for capable, experienced people. Waiting to “feel confident” often delays contribution, decision-making, and momentum, especially under pressure.
In this keynote, Emmy Award–winning broadcaster Kerry Barrett challenges the cultural obsession with confidence and reframes fear as information rather than instruction. Drawing from decades of live television and high-stakes performance, she explains why fear doesn’t disappear with experience, why evidence doesn’t reliably produce confidence, and why functioning often comes before confidence — not the other way around.
This is not motivation or mindset training. It’s a grounded, experience-based perspective on how people actually function under real conditions. Audiences leave with language, clarity, and relief — not hype — and a more accurate understanding of performance when certainty and calm aren’t available.
Kerry has devoted years to understanding human behavior, creating a strategy that she uses with business owners, executives, and their teams. At its core: to become more influential, you must be more relatable.
The world has changed drastically over the past few years. But there’s one thing that doesn’t change: how you show up in a meaningful way. Your ability to connect with others is your competitive advantage. But many people aren’t paying attention to this skill. Guided by Kerry, you will immediately have the tools you need to get started. Learn the characteristics of relatability and why they matter. Take the Relatability Index quiz and learn what you need to change. Kerry will show you how to move away from the script and connect with others authentically—helping you to lead between the lines.
Topics in this keynote include:
- How To Use the Undervalued Element of Relatability to Influence, Get Employee Buy-In, and Lead
- What The Emotional and Leadership Traits of Relatability Are
- Measure Your Own “Relatability Index” and what it means
- Learn How to Improve Your Score
