Real Talk for Rooms That Are Ready.
No surface-level inspiration. Just truth. Eileen’s talks blend emotional precision, strategic insight, and blunt grace. They cut through performance, silence, and fear —and awaken what’s real.
SIGNATURE KEYNOTE
Humanity Reclaimed:
Leading Without the Armor
Whether it’s a leadership summit, a women’s conference, a culture reset, or an executive offsite, Eileen’s keynotes offer something rare: the emotional precision to disarm the room, the strategic insight to shift perspective, and the language to name what everyone’s been feeling — but no one’s dared to say.
These talks aren’t “rah-rah.” They’re real.
They speak into the silence of performative leadership, the unspoken fear woven through hierarchies, and the emotional disconnection that fuels burnout.
And they change the room.
Under the Armor: How to Lead from Your Actual Self
We all build armor to survive, but leadership begins when we learn how to take it off.
Eileen helps high-functioning professionals recognize protection personas — perfectionism, peacekeeping, control — that once kept them safe but now get in the way, making them work harder for less return. Audiences leave with language to spot patterns, why emotional suppression erodes trust, and how to shift from performance to presence.
→ Because leadership starts where pretending ends.
The Center for Humanity: Reclaiming the Heart of HR
For decades, HR has been tasked with managing people.
Eileen reframes HR as the Center for Humanity at Work — the heart of culture, care, and candor. Drawing on her C-suite tenure, she names HR’s dual mandate, protect the enterprise and care for people, and shows how leaving that tension unnamed fuels fear and silence. She offers a model rooted in emotional sustainability and human responsibility.
→ Because HR doesn’t just belong at the table, it builds the one everyone sits at.
Full Disclosure: The Myths We Keep Telling at Work
This keynote cuts through corporate “care” to reveal the dissonance underneath.
With sharp humor and clear insight, Eileen unpacks the myths we keep repeating — “people over profit,” “we’re a family,” “bring your whole self” — and shows why good intentions without emotional fluency drain energy and trust. Full Disclosure reframes wellbeing as something you feel, not perform. It invites a practice of real care.
→ Because honesty, not optics, keeps people.
