Let’s be real—most high-performing leaders don’t need another TED talk on leadership development.
They need grounding.
They need someone who’s actually led through chaos, not just talked about it in a well-lit webinar.

This keynote is a walk through the fire—my fire.
From Midwest cornfields to executive boardrooms, I built a career (and dodged a breakdown or two) learning how to lead when expectations were high, clarity was low, and nobody wanted to say the hard thing out loud.

That’s where ACRA was born. Not in theory—in motion:

• Active Listening → Curiosity Over Control

• Check Your Self → Energy Over Ego

• Reframe the Room → Speed to Trust

• Authenticity in Action → Embodying vs Professing

This isn’t a highlight reel of perfectly packaged leadership lessons.
It’s the raw, unfiltered truth of what actually works when you’re leading through pressure, doubt, unclear direction, weird energy, and a group chat that’s slowly turned into a support group.

It’s funny. It’s honest. It’s uncomfortably useful.
And it just might remind your team that leadership isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, perspective, and showing up when it counts.

Leading through uncertainty with clarity, guts, and a semi-functioning group chat.

For leaders in the thick of chaos—rapid change, unclear priorities, imposter syndrome, or a group chat that somehow made everything worse.

This keynote helps teams navigate uncertainty without spiraling, ghosting, or pretending everything’s fine when it clearly isn’t. Expect hard truth, actual tools, and a few “oh snap, she just said that” moments that make people laugh and then write things down.

A radically honest take on self-leadership, energy leaks, and growing the heck up.

This one’s about the person in the mirror (yes, you). We’ll get into why your team can feel your mood before you even speak—and what to do about it.

It’s for high-achievers who are exhausted, overthinking, and unintentionally leaking leadership credibility. Real talk, a few light gut punches, and practical ways to stop the spiral and show up with clarity, consistency, and a little more peace.

The psychology of influence, storytelling, and getting what you’re worth.

Spoiler: If you’ve ever pitched an idea, asked for a raise, interviewed for a job, led a team, or convinced your toddler to eat broccoli—you’re in sales.

This keynote reframes what selling actually is (and what it’s not), so people can stop posturing and start connecting. It’s equal parts strategy and sass—with zero pressure tactics, and just enough storytelling science to make you dangerous in the best way.
