Clarity in the Chaos: Leading When Everything Feels Like a Crisis

In complex organizations, challenges rarely show up in a straight line. Leaders are expected to keep teams aligned, move quickly, and deliver results—often without stopping to ask whether the strategies they’re using are still the right ones. As pressure builds, well-intentioned solutions like offsites, training, or engagement initiatives often miss the mark.

Why? Because the team may not be stuck—your lens might be.

This session offers a refreshing, strategy-forward approach to leadership clarity. Designed for organizations navigating growth, culture friction, or change fatigue, it focuses on helping leadership teams step back, assess what’s really going on, and take targeted, meaningful action.

Through the lens of strategic listening and customized clarity tools, this session shows how to shift from reactive leadership to targeted, aligned decision-making—even in uncertain times.

💡 Participants Will Learn:

  • Tools to move from reactive to proactive leadership across the organization

  • How to create clarity and direction when the external environment is noisy

  • Why some teams feel stuck even when they’re full of high performers

Available in keynote, breakout or workshop format. Now booking for late 2025.

This session is best for:

  • Organizational and people leaders in high-responsibility roles who are navigating growth, transition, or culture challenges—especially when internal capacity is stretched thin and the path forward feels unclear.

  • Organizations who want to break up with the ‘status quo’ and unlock the potential of their people through focused, tailored strategies—not copy-paste solutions.

  • Executive teams feeling the weight of constant decision-making, competing priorities, or mixed signals across departments— who need to regain clarity and alignment.

  • Companies where traditional engagement efforts aren’t gaining traction.

WHAT AUDIENCES HAVE SAID:

The work that Leila did for our team has been incredibly insightful, particularly in understanding the behavior and communication styles of each team member and how they fit into the overall picture. Appreciating that source of what was previously seen as conflict, reframing as valuable differences, learning how people want to be recognized and where they perceive growth areas, and several other insights have all contributed to helping our team work better together in reaching our BHAG.

Leila and (her co-presenter) have a natural talent to stimulate interactive participation during their workshop – which is not always easy to do in a virtual setting. I benefited from their leadership problem-solving tools to re-evaluate a recent challenge and also plan to apply the micro-commitments approach to daily planning. This session allowed our members to temporarily shift away from the next to-do and refocus on smarter strategies for positive performance.

Leila was recently the keynote speaker ... and we could not have started out the year on a higher note. Leila delivered an easily-accessible and impactful message, and brought great value to our members by leaving the group with salient and actionable takeaways.
— Sean Conley, AVP, BBVA | President, Rotaract Club
I had the great fortune of attending a presentation on productivity given by Leila at a Women’s Expo. As a long-time student of personal and professional development, I am often disappointed because there is so little new information or tactics presented.

Leila blew me away with a great balance of science, anecdotal data and most importantly, tactics and worksheets, that we could put to use immediately. I highly recommend her for public speaking and workshops. And as a keynote speaker she spoke during our lunch on intentionally and again, it was actionable and relatable.

Event Planners,
want to continue the conversation?

Leila is a dynamic presenter who can quickly measure the vibe and learning style of her audience and quickly adjust. She’s relatable and can instantly make you feel like you’ve known her for years. She’s dedicated and detail-oriented, letting you know that she’s put a lot of time and effort into her presentation. I would not hesitate to hire her for one-to-one or group training.

I attended Leila’s event and came away with real actionable information that pertained to me and my goals. I’ve been to motivational conferences before but what made this one even more valuable was the individual time we had to complete the activities right then and there. I felt like I walked away with more clarity, more direction and actionable step than when I walked in. I believe reaching your goals is an iterative process and takes work. Attending this event was a perfect place to get to work! That is priceless!
