Keynote: Leadership for a World That’s Changed Faster Than We Have
A grounded exploration of the body’s role in leadership decisions, behaviour, and impact.
The world leaders are operating in today has changed faster than the way we’ve been developing them. While leadership development has focused heavily on thinking — strategy, analysis, and insight — today’s challenges demand capacities that can’t be accessed through cognition alone.
In this experiential keynote, Liz explores why leadership has become incomplete and how the body plays a central role in regulation under pressure, navigating uncertainty, communication, decision-making, and behaviour change — especially when leaders are facing new problems that can’t be solved with old approaches.
Grounded, practical, and highly relevant, this keynote offers leaders a new way to meet complexity with greater presence, adaptability, and impact.
Outcomes:
A clear understanding of how the body shapes leadership under pressure and uncertainty
Practical ways to increase regulation, presence, and resilience in real time
Insight into how automatic habits limit leadership and how to loosen their grip
Tools to communicate, listen, and influence with greater clarity and presence
A new lens for decision-making in complexity that goes beyond analysis alone
Ideal for:
Leadership conferences • Executive and senior-leader offsites • Organizations navigating change and complexity • Women’s leadership and ERG events
Keynote: Reclaiming the Body: Women, Leadership, and Sustainable Power
A grounded exploration of how reconnecting with the body supports authentic leadership, effective decision-making, and long-term sustainability.
Many women have learned to lead by overriding their bodies — pushing through fatigue, suppressing intuition, managing emotions, and staying composed in environments that often reward disconnection over presence. Over time, this disconnection comes at a cost: diminished clarity, chronic over-effort, and burnout that no amount of mindset work can resolve.
In this experiential keynote, Liz explores why reclaiming connection with the body is not a “soft skill,” but a critical leadership capacity for women today. Drawing on embodied intelligence, nervous system awareness, and real-world leadership experience, she shows how the body shapes confidence, boundaries, decision-making, and influence — often outside of conscious awareness.
Rather than asking women to adapt yet again, this keynote offers a different path: learning to work with the body as a source of information, regulation, and direction. Participants experience how embodied awareness supports leadership that is more grounded, authentic, and sustainable — without sacrificing ambition or impact.
Grounded, practical, and deeply relevant, this keynote offers women leaders a way to lead from who they are — not who they’ve been conditioned to be — while protecting their energy and expanding their capacity over time.
Outcomes:
A new understanding of how disconnection from the body contributes to overwork, burnout, and misaligned leadership
Insight into how the body signals direction, boundaries, and truth before the mind catches up
Practical ways to increase regulation, presence, and self-trust under pressure
Tools to lead with greater authenticity, clarity, and embodied confidence
A sustainable approach to leadership that supports both performance and wellbeing
Ideal for:
Women’s leadership conferences • Executive and senior-leader offsites • Women’s ERGs • Organizations focused on wellbeing, retention, and sustainable leadership
