Leading with Respect: Fostering Cultures of Accountability

Navigating constructive feedback these days feels like walking on eggshells. Say one wrong word and you could be cancelled, make one wrong move and your culture will go from togetherness to tension. When done poorly, the result is broken trust, poor decisions, and lower engagement with your people. Avoiding what needs to be said perpetuates cultures lacking in accountability and often desired business results.

So, what is the answer? How do leaders overcome avoidance or “nice” (they are often the same thing) and foster accountability? In this engaging, informative and inspiring keynote, leadership expert Susan MacKenty Brady shares what every leader can do to build a culture that is resistant to antagonism and rich with productive harmony.

Creating Value in an Uncertain, Complex World: What Every Leader Must Know to Attract, Engage and Retain the Best

When your words and actions intentionally show respect for yourself and the people with whom you work, trust, action, and growth follow. Getting right how you show up can skyrocket your culture’s value, strengthen its cohesion and mobilize it forward so the best people want to join, stay and fully engage.

In this engaging, informative and inspiring keynote, Susan MacKenty Brady shares a proven system any leader can apply in the moment that will transform their influence and inclusivity, and will empower themselves and their people to achieve more than they ever thought possible.

Conquer Your Critical Imposter with Your Inner Champion

What is that voice inside your head saying about you and about others? Research shows that self-destructive voices inside our head make us feel not good enough, superior to others or both at the same time. The result is broken trust, poor decisions, and lower engagement with our people – and lost opportunity for us.

Bestselling author and leadership expert Susan MacKenty Brady helps us drown out our Inner Critical Imposter with our Inner Champion. With her guidance, leaders will get out of their own heads to unleash their optimal impact on themselves AND others.

Thriving as a Leader: Breaking Barriers with Courage

Have you ever wondered how to flourish in a senior leadership role as your best self, inspire excellence in your team channeling your own wellbeing and, at the same time, lead a highly fulfilled life?

In this engaging, informative and inspiring keynote, leadership expert Susan MacKenty Brady brings to life seven impactful practices and 7 Questions to Courageous ActionTM that will help you leverage your uniqueness to powerfully thrive in leadership.

Powered by her latest book, Arrive & Thrive: 7 Impactful Practices for Women Navigating Leadership, Susan inspires women in leadership and allies of inclusivity who have made the brave choice to go for it—to strive for a top job, to make an even bigger impact, and to lead by example with courage and purpose.
