Every keynote is tailored to your audience and theme.
Quick Confidence in the AI Era: Own Your Irreplaceable Human Power
As AI changes how we work, distinctly human skills—judgment, influence, presence, and self-belief—matter more, not less. Based on Selena’s Wall Street Journal bestseller Quick Confidence, this high-energy keynote gives professionals practical ways to act with greater confidence when the stakes are high.
Push Back: How to Be a Fierce Self-Advocate
We’re negotiating at work all day long—the deadline, the workload, the credit, the opportunity, the boundary. The question is whether we’re actually asking for what we want. Drawing from Selena’s award-winning book Pushback, this keynote gives people practical tools to advocate for themselves, hold their ground, and navigate everyday negotiations without automatically giving in.
Quick Resilience: How to Keep Your Cool, Your Energy, and Your Edge at Work
Being good at your job doesn’t mean everything rolls off your back. You might get knocked sideways by brutal feedback, a project that falls apart, or even a win that takes everything out of you. Based on Selena’s forthcoming book Quick Resilience, this keynote offers a practical playbook for recovering your composure, responding to demands on your own terms, and keeping one hard moment from taking over the rest of your day.
