Keynotes & Workshops

Research-grounded talks on leadership identity, transition, and what organizations get wrong about why high-capacity leaders stall.

My keynotes are built around one core body of research: the predictable pattern of how leadership identity transitions unfold, what they cost when unaddressed, and what actually accelerates them.

I've spoken at ATD, SHRM, SIOP, and Workday Rising, and delivered strategy sessions inside Fortune 500 companies and high-growth organizations. The talks translate behavioral science into frameworks your audience can use immediately — without motivational scaffolding.

Workshops and facilitated sessions are designed for leadership teams navigating real organizational complexity — not simulated case studies. Whether the audience is founders, senior leaders, or a cross-functional leadership cohort, the design centers on shared sense-making and a framework they can use beyond the room.

Signature Talks

  • Burnout isn't about hours — it stems from misaligned values and unsustainable emotional demands. Practical tools to protect energy and lead sustainably.

  • Women are often measured against a leadership model never designed for them. Build the case and the confidence for leading authentically on your own terms.

  • At every stage of growth, your role must evolve. This session addresses the identity shift leaders and founders resist most and how to make it without losing yourself.

  • Empathy is one of the most powerful leadership tools and one of the most quietly costly. Learn to harness it as a competitive advantage without absorbing the weight.

  • Self-awareness is the highest predictor of leader effectiveness. Yet most founders' blind spots are invisible until the damage is done. Research-backed with real space to reflect.

  • "We asked Liz to deliver a webinar on empathy for our international education community. The webinar was engaging, full of sharp approaches for people to take away and underpinned by research. The feedback from our community was excellent with educational leaders actively applying approaches in their settings."

    —Nickolas McKie, Director, PersYou

  • "Working with Liz and her team was a seamless and rewarding experience. They took the time to truly understand our business and culture, and brought a thoughtful, collaborative approach to designing a workshop for our top 100 leaders. Their ability to translate theory into practical, relevant tools made the experience both engaging and impactful—creating space for reflection, connection, and real growth. Liz was a true partner every step of the way."

    —Nick Busalacki, VP, HR, Learning and Development and Change Leadership 

  • "Thank you for creating and facilitating our 3 day product leadership offsite. You led us through some great activities that engaged the team in great conversations and we left each day feeling a sense of progress and alignment. Your ability to let conversations flow, and intervene or provide direction at the right time is a superpower!"

    —Ciaran H., VP, Product Management
