Grit in the New Era of Work
Ranked one of North America’s top leadership speakers, Angela Duckworth helps us to identify and cultivate one of the most important factors in determining long-term success. What sets people up for lasting success? It’s not always IQ or effort. It’s grit: determination and perseverance towards achieving long-term goals. The Godmother of Grit and one of the most influential psychologists of the last decade, she shows us that grit is a trait we can learn and develop not only in ourselves, but in the people around us as well.
Inclusion Will Get You to the Stars
As the first Latina in space and first Hispanic Director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, Ellen Ochoa knows that diversity drives unique ways of thinking—but it isn’t enough to hire diverse candidates. People need to feel encouraged and emboldened to speak up and share their ideas, concerns, and experiences. When we create a culture that allows people to be themselves—great things happen.
Creativity is a Team Sport
The makeup of our teams has a profound effect on their output. This is why Greg Hoffman, the former CMO of Nike puts so much emphasis on creating and encouraging diverse teams. People with different skillsets, from different backgrounds, and different experiences, all have a unique way of thinking. Giving them the freedom to share ideas and make mistakes unleashes their creativity and drives unparalleled innovation.

Helping Your Teams Reach Their Potential

His talks give you the tools and the strategies you need to develop a growth mindset in your team.
The Importance of Relying on Your Team
As the first female rookie to complete the Eco Challenge—the world’s hardest race—and a long time executive, Yvonne Camus knows that in order to be successful, we need to rely on, and put our trust in, the people around us. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, but when we lean into and encourage people’s strengths, we can accomplish more than we could have imagined possible.
Unlocking the Value of Mentorship
We all interact with people every day who excel at things that we wish we did better. It’s vital to not only recognize this, but to seek it out.

She knows that good mentorship is key to getting ahead—and now, as a venture capitalist in countless other startups, she is mentoring the next generation of business leaders.

The New Science of Motivation
Feedback is a critical aspect of leadership. It can either lead to success, or it can have detrimental effects.

Indivisible Leadership
Diversity is hard, and there are real barriers to inclusivity that make allyship difficult.

She shows how simple strategies like “humble curiosity” can make room for different perspectives and effective communication. Her ethos? Small consistent contributions will make us indivisible.
