Rachael Amarante Speaking Topics

• Turning Instinct into Opportunity

  Leaders know that instincts are everything when it comes to your business. And yet it’s arguably one of the hardest things to trust in ourselves and others. And yet, businesses are people. People buy from people. Without trust in our people’s instincts, we lose the humanity of our work.

  Organizations are desperate to find ways to support and trust their people beyond the gym memberships and self-care Fridays – both we’re learning don’t fix problems. But empowering individuals to trust themselves and utilize their strengths shapes how they feel and act, both in their personal lives and your business. It’s not giving your employees self-care to keep them off the edge. It’s giving them space to reach their potential while increasing their capacity, exploring better collaboration, and inspiring creativity.

  In this keynote, Rachael Amarante offers her personal research, stories and results driven tools to help your business become a brand that takes care of their people like no other.

  • Invite teams to communicate openly about their goals using studied practices.
  • Immediately implement habits and processes to lessen burnout and help uplift confidence and energy in your teams.
  • Unlock the maximum potential of your people.

• The Business of Imperfection

  People buy from people. Businesses are people. Organizations are finding it harder and harder to retain and elevate their employees. Why? Because businesses, products, and services attempt to be perfect. Yet humans are not. Research shows that consumers no longer purchase products simply due to packaging, or how long a product has been on the market. Consumers buy based on the reputation of the organization, how they take care of its people, and who they partner with. The quality of the product itself matters just as much as the quality of the entire brand.

  So how do we solve this?

  We invite imperfection to the table. When organizations humanize their brands, they become relatable. They become trustworthy. Businesses can do this by giving their people permission to be imperfect. To welcome new ideas that are not fully fleshed out, invite conversation about new processes, systems, and structures that support the people first. When people are permitted to be humans, they learn to empower themselves and in turn, empower your business.

  In this keynote, Rachael Amarante shares her research and case studies to help your organization embrace the business of imperfection. Humanizing your work leads to a more robust bottom line, increased capacity, and an organization full of confident, energized people. Instead of asking, “what if we fail?” you will learn to ask, “What if we fly?”

  Learnings:

  • Break down the key pieces of your business that are keeping you from succeeding.
  • Discover tactical ways to invite imperfection without diminishing the quality of your brand.
  • Learn how to access the unlimited potential of your people by welcoming imperfection.

• Become a Team of Impact

  eams matter. The energy. The wit. The collaboration. It all matters. When the team works, the business works. When it doesn’t, the business suffers. In the past few years, teams have been shaken. They’ve changed and grew and shrunk and oftentimes people never meet each other in person. Some of these changes are permanent. Organizations have the opportunity to see them as positive changes and use them to elevate their brands.

  Creating a culture one can be proud of begins with each individual. Every leader, every team member taking responsibility for the way they move through their life, in and out of their work. It begins with us. How we respect ourselves and others, how we communicate with ourselves and others. Tapping into people’s strengths, energies and goals, empowers them. Empowered individuals make powerful team members. You will shift your organization’s focus from hurrying to hustling; the concept that takes teams from mediocre to impactful.

  In this keynote, Rachael Amarante starts with the individual needs and values of your people. Using research, case studies and personal stories, Amarante provides tangible ways to take those individual findings and utilize them to elevate your teams.

  • Learn the concept of Hurry vs. Hustle and how to implement it.
  • Discover tactical ways to unlock the power of your people, individual and as a team
  • Implement communication strategies that solve issues and get your teams refocused and energized.
