Signature Keynotes

Signature Keynotes

Six talks. Two jobs: move the strategy, or move the room.

For organizations moving on AI

Executive AI Activation

Full day · AI strategy, strategic leadership

Your leadership team leaves with one shared, honest picture of where AI actually sits in the business — including the parts nobody has said out loud yet.

They'll leave able to:

  • Say what AI can and cannot do in your environment — not in general, not in a vendor deck
  • Point to where AI already lives in the organization, where it's planned, and where it's quietly creating risk
  • Tie every AI effort to a business priority and a number someone owns
  • Name the security, data, and governance gaps early, while they're still cheap to close

Built for: C-suites and senior leadership teams at the start of an AI push — or partway in, wondering why it isn't landing.

For organizations moving on AI

The New Playbook for Strategic Business Transformation with AI

60–90 minutes · AI strategy, business strategy

A working session disguised as a keynote. The room leaves with the L.E.A.D. Framework and a way to use it Monday.

They'll leave able to:

  • Apply the L.E.A.D. Framework to design an AI strategy that matches what the organization is actually trying to do
  • Translate AI concepts into business language executives will fund
  • Step into the role of strategic partner on ethical AI adoption instead of order-taker

Built for: conferences, leadership summits, and strategy offsites where the audience has to go back and defend a plan.

For organizations moving on AI

L.E.A.D. the AI Shift: Build Smarter, Lead Bolder, Keep Your People

1–2 hours · AI strategy, leadership development

For leaders who've been told AI means fewer people, and suspect that's the wrong answer.

They'll leave able to:

  • Build an AI implementation roadmap using the L.E.A.D. Framework
  • Run AI transformation as a people strategy and a business strategy at the same time
  • Find the reskilling paths that keep institutional knowledge inside the building
  • Name the real cost of cutting talent too fast to chase automation

Built for: executive teams, HR and L&D leadership, and workforce boards making headcount decisions this year.

For organizations moving on AI

Don't Automate Your People. Activate Them.

60 minutes to half day · AI strategy, future of work

The most expensive AI mistake isn't a bad tool. It's automating the work that made your people worth keeping.

They'll leave able to:

  • Sort the work with the A.S.K. Framework™ — Automate, Share, Keep Human
  • Name the workforce risks that show up when AI arrives without clarity or a plan
  • Describe what an AI-ready workforce actually looks like, past the hype
  • Hold trust and communication together while the work changes underneath everyone

Built for: L&D and HR teams, operations leaders, and workforce development programs mid-rollout.

For rooms that need to hear a person, not a roadmap

Bring Your Own Damn Chair

60–90 minutes · Authentic leadership, inclusion

For everyone who's been told to wait for a seat. Myra didn't wait — and she'll tell the room exactly how she didn't.

They'll leave able to:

  • Read the unwritten power rules in rooms that weren't built for them
  • Turn rejection and silence into fuel instead of evidence
  • Lead with confidence and audacity without asking permission first
  • Stop shrinking and start owning the impact they're already having

Built for: DEI and ERG events, women-in-tech conferences, leadership development programs, and first-generation professional audiences.

For rooms that need to hear a person, not a roadmap

Let's SEE…

60–90 minutes · Resilience, leadership development

A personal philosophy for navigating uncertainty, growth, and reinvention.

How to move before you feel ready — from someone who arrived with $500 and worked it out on the way.

They'll leave able to:

  • Move forward before feeling fully ready, on purpose rather than by accident
  • Treat failure as data they can use instead of a verdict on who they are
  • Run a repeatable process for facing a pivot, a setback, or a blank page
  • Read transparency as a leadership strength, not an exposure

Built for: all-hands, opening and closing keynotes, and career development or reinvention programs.

Built From the Ground Up. On Purpose

I didn't arrive here through a straight line. I arrived as a teen mom who migrated to the United States with $500 and a determination that nobody could explain — including me.

I've built careers in spaces that questioned whether I belonged. I've sat in rooms where I was the only Latina, the only woman, the only one without a traditional path. And I've learned that when there's no seat at the table, you don't wait for an invitation. You bring your own chair.

What I've built — the career, the credentials, the programs, the stages, was never handed to me. It was built through audacity, accountability, and the willingness to be transparent even when it was uncomfortable.

If you're a woman in tech, a first-generation professional, or someone navigating a space that wasn't designed for you — I see you. And I built this work for you, too.
