Impact
In times of relentless change and rising complexity, hesitation is costly. It’s not enough for leaders to know what to do—they must become the kind of leaders who can do it. That requires more than strategy. It requires courage. Enter bestselling author, leadership advisor, and ‘courage catalyst’ Dr. Margie Warrell, delivering a bold recalibration of what’s possible when clarity, courage, and alignment converge.
Human Connection in an Overwired World
In today’s hyper-connected workplace— where curated profiles, Slack replies and AI-generated messages dominate— something vital is being lost: our capacity for real human connection. As it becomes easier to polish our image and harder to have honest conversations, a gap is growing between surface-level communication and true belonging.

Women Rising
Despite historic progress, women remain underrepresented where the biggest decisions are made—not from lack of ability, but from the internalized pressure to stay small. In this powerful keynote, Dr. Margie Warrell shares how her own journey—from growing up on a dairy farm and raising four children while building a global career, to completing her doctoral research in women’s leadership.
“What I’ve learned in my life is that growth and comfort can’t ride the same horse.”
