Leaders are often expected to project confidence and certainty, but in today’s workplace, authenticity has become the defining characteristic of impactful leadership. Vulnerability is no longer a liability—it’s a strength that fosters trust, deepens relationships, and drives real connection.
Yet, many leaders hesitate to embrace vulnerability, fearing it may make them seem weak. The truth? Your authenticity is your strength. Being open and authentic makes you human, and will allow your teams to feel human too. If you want teams who feel safe, we must be willing to put down your own walls first. This keynote will provide the insights and tools leaders need to make vulnerability and safety a cornerstone of their leadership style. By honoring their own humanity, leaders will empower themselves and their teams to tackle challenges with trust, safety and humanity.
Leave this session inspired to lead from the heart and embrace the power of who you really are, not who you think you have to be.
Key Learnings:
In today’s fast-moving world, organizations often chase short-term wins at the expense of long-term success. But building for longevity requires a different mindset—one that prioritizes people, purpose, and adaptability. Happy people stay with our organizations, and happy requires safety.
When leaders embrace human-centered design, they create environments that are not only sustainable but also empowering. By focusing on the well-being and growth of individuals, organizations can foster safety, resilience, drive innovation, and achieve meaningful, lasting impact.
To design our organizations for longevity, we must design for humans, not resumes. People are people, and the future of work requires us to prioritize people over all else.
This conversation arms leaders with actionable strategies to align human needs with organizational goals, creating systems that endure and evolve in an ever-changing landscape and dive into how to connect with our teams as humans, and not just peers or managers.
Leave inspired to design for longevity and lead with purpose, empathy, and a vision for the future.
Key Learnings:
Your network is your net worth, but your personal brand is your asset. Everyone wants to build a brand, but too often they want a brand that leans to trends and algorithms, instead of one that leans inward. You have to be your biggest fan, your brand has to be a brand you would want to consume. True success lies in building a brand that reflects who you genuinely are, not just who you think the world wants you to be.
Authentic personal branding is about aligning your values, strengths, and vision to create a powerful and memorable message. You have to paint a picture that looks like the person you see in the mirror. You are your superpower. Everyone can make recyclable content, but no one can tell your story. This keynote will guide you through the process of building a brand that empowers you, helps you find your voice, and honors your individuality You will walk away empowered to show up as exactly who you are and ready to share it with the world around us.
Key Learnings:
This talk will focus on the process and liberation in breaking away from societal expectations. It is easy to feel trapped when society creates a mold for you to stay within, but life is beautiful when you determine what it looks like. Madison Butler is a fierce advocate for being human at work, and this talk centers on just that- being human without expectations of those around us but being you for you.
Anti-Racism and allyship have become corporate America’s favorite buzzwords. How can we ensure that our actions represent our adjectives? Anti-racism and allyship both center around action rather than performance. We will explore how to create actionable change as any ally/accomplice and what it means to truly be anti-racist.
