Keynotes & Workshops
They don’t just inspire. They rewire.
Bold Leadership Begins Here.
In today’s organizations, leaders are:
Told to be original—but punished the moment they color outside the lines.
Asked to innovate—but only within pre-approved frameworks.
Expected to perform powerfully—while quietly erasing their instincts, intelligence, and imagination.
This is the paradox that’s burning out your best people and watering down your leaders.
Christie Turley’s keynotes cut through the noise and rewire how leaders show up—with clarity, empathy, and intuitive intelligence.

“She didn’t just speak. She said the thing we were thinking.”
(Each one customized to your audience, the time slot and event goals.)
The Clarity Code™
High-Stakes Decision-Making for Visionary Leaders
Why it matters:
Leadership clarity doesn’t come from more noise. It comes from knowing how to filter it. This keynote reveals the tools elite leaders use to stay decisive, present, and powerfully intuitive—especially when the pressure’s on.
Outcomes:
Sharpen your yes/no filters and regain intuitive speed
Eliminate decision fatigue and overthinking traps
Make confident moves without needing all the data
BECAUSE:
You can’t lead clearly if your frequency is fried.
Select this when:
Your best minds are stuck spinning, second-guessing, or stalling out—this talk hands them the reset they didn’t know they needed.
ideal for:
CEOs, High-Stakes Decision Makers, Leadership Teams
The Innovation Trap™
Why Original Thinkers Burn Out, Bail Out, or Get Forced Out
Why it matters:
Companies love to say they value innovation—until someone actually challenges the status quo. Then it’s: “Let’s circle back,” “We’re not ready for that,” or worse, silence. If your most creative talent seems disengaged, distracted, or ready to disappear, this is the talk that shows you why—and how to fix it without blowing up your org chart.
Outcomes:
Identify silent innovation blockers in your culture.
Retain and re-energize visionary talent
Shift from fear-based compliance to creative trust
BECAUSE:
Mixed messages... Be innovative, but stay in your lane. No wonder why your best people are quietly plotting their exit.
Select this when:
Your company is bleeding visionary talent, idea flow is drying up, or culture feels “safe” in all the wrong ways.
ideal for:
Executives, Founders, Innovation Leads, Culture Committees
Is Compliance Killing Your Culture?
How to Stop Managing to the Middle and Start Leading to the Edge
Why it matters:
What starts as “alignment” often ends in apathy. Well-meaning policies and productivity systems can unintentionally silence initiative, suppress creativity, and turn high-potential leaders into careful, compliant box-checkers. This keynote is for organizations that say they want innovation—but keep rewarding sameness.
Outcomes:
Uncover the hidden compliance habits draining innovation.
Reignite creative leadership within structured systems.
Balance alignment with freedom so your team can think again.
BECAUSE:
That’s how ideas die before they’re even spoken.
Select this when:
Your team is asking for innovation but behaving like permission is required to speak.
ideal for:
Corporate Teams, Mid-Level Leaders, People Ops
The Empathy Equation™
How Authentic Connection Drives Performance, Innovation, and Growth
Why it matters:
In a world where metrics and KPIs dominate, the human element often gets sidelined. Yet, empathy—the ability to genuinely understand and connect with others—is the catalyst behind thriving cultures. This keynote delves into how leaders can harness empathy to foster innovation, enhance performance, and drive sustainable growth.
Outcomes:
Understand how empathy directly influences financial growth, employee engagement, and customer loyalty.
Learn to build genuine relationships that inspire trust and collaboration.
Discover how to embed empathy into your leadership style and organizational culture.
BECAUSE:
Empathy isn't a soft skill—it's the hard currency of leadership.
Select this when:
You wish to cultivate a culture where employees and customers feel genuinely valued.
ideal for:
Corporate Teams, Mid-Level Leaders, People Ops
Stillness Is a Strategy
Why Your Smartest People Need Space to Think
Why it matters:
Your team isn’t stuck—they’re saturated. When speed becomes survival mode, brilliance disappears. This keynote flips the high-performance script and introduces stillness as a radical leadership move. Perfect for burnout-prone teams, visionary execs, and any organization craving clarity after constant change.
Outcomes:
Reframe stillness as a competitive advantage—not a weakness.
Break the cycle of reactivity and tap into next-level ideas.
Learn how elite performers protect clarity while delivering results.
BECAUSE:
You're not stuck. You're saturated.
Select this when:
Your top performers are burning out or reacting instead of creating—and you need more space to think strategically.
ideal for:
Executive Teams, High-Output Leaders, Burnout Recovery Retreats
Did You Even Hear Them?
(…Or Were You Just Waiting for Your Turn to Talk?)
Why it matters:
Most leaders hear—but very few listen. In fast-moving environments, performative listening is often mistaken for real communication. But your team knows the difference. They can feel when you’re not present. And eventually, they stop offering what they really think. This keynote is a crash course in empathic presence, deeper listening, and communication that actually lands.
Outcomes:
Build trust by listening beyond words—into emotional truth.
Spot and shift leadership habits that shut down contribution.
Create psychological safety through your presence—not just your policy.
BECAUSE:
Because nothing breaks trust faster than performative listening.
Select this when:
Trust is low, team dynamics feel tense, or you want to level up your culture from “talking” to actually communicating.
ideal for:
Executive Teams, DEI Orgs, Culture Builders
Intelligence Isn’t Enough
Why the Smartest Leaders Still Get Stuck—And How to Break the Loop
Why it matters:
You’ve read the books, taken the assessments, built the playbooks—and yet something’s still stuck. That’s because insight doesn’t equal transformation unless it’s put into motion. This keynote helps self-aware leaders break out of the mental loop and into actual leadership change—through embodied strategy, custom behavior rituals, and inner clarity that shows up in how they lead, not just what they know.
Outcomes:
Identify your intelligence bias and how it keeps you circling the same growth edge.
Translate self-awareness into real behavioral shifts.
Build rituals and systems that evolve with your leadership.
BECAUSE:
You don’t need another lightbulb moment. You need a fuse that actually lights something.
Select this when:
Your people know what to do, but can’t seem to follow through—or when you’re trying to turn insight into embodied leadership.
ideal for:
Self-Aware Leaders, Learning-Oriented Cultures, Emerging Execs
Unmasked
What Happens When You Lead
Without the Persona
Why it matters:
You’ve got the title. The talking points. The polished performance. But deep down, you know there’s a more powerful way to lead—one that doesn’t rely on pretending. This keynote calls out the subtle habits of performative leadership and helps high-achievers reconnect with their true presence, purpose, and personal authority. It’s the talk that lifts the pressure to be perfect and replaces it with the freedom to lead as you are.
Outcomes:
Dismantle performative leadership habits that exhaust your energy.
Build real trust through presence, not perfection.
Lead from power that resonates—not just impresses.
BECAUSE:
Influence doesn’t require a mask.
Select this when:
Leadership feels performative, burnout is high, or you want to re-center your team in authentic influence.
ideal for:
Founder-CEOs, Public Figures, Leadership Coaches
No, AI Can’t Save You
How to Use AI as a Thinking Partner
Why it matters:
AI isn’t your enemy—and it’s definitely not your savior. While most teams are scrambling to “use AI,” visionary leaders are learning how to collaborate with it. This keynote shows you how to think with the machine—not be replaced by it. When you know how to prompt it, shape it, and load it with your context, AI becomes a co-creator—helping you ideate faster, clarify complex thinking, and generate results that still sound like you (without outsourcing your original thinking).
Outcomes:
Reframe AI as an amplifier, not an existential threat.
Craft prompts that reflect human nuance and tone.
Collaborate with to support idea development and strategic insight.
BECAUSE:
It’s not just about tech. It’s about intelligence—yours. The quality of your imagination is the real edge.
Select this when:
Your team is drowning in data but starving for creativity—experimenting with AI tools but aren’t getting meaningful results, sound robotic, or are using it like a search engine instead of a true thinking partner.
ideal for:
Creatives, Product Teams, Innovation Teams, Operations, Executive Leaders, Founder-CEOs
THE LEADERSHIP INTELLIGENCE LAB™
Immersive Workshop &
Retreat Experiences
Why it matters:
The Leadership Intelligence Lab™ is a high-impact, interactive experience designed for executive offsites, leadership retreats, or team activations that demand more than a keynote—and more than business-as-usual. Using the frameworks of The Velocity Method™, this Lab rewires how leaders listen, collaborate, decide, and align—through experiential exercises, strategic facilitation, and real-time insight mapping. If your team is out of sync, stuck in silos, or on the verge of major growth, this isn’t just a workshop. It’s your reset button.
Outcomes
(customized by team stage and event goal):
Leadership alignment without ego friction
Trust-building and radical feedback skills
Strategic listening + decision-making under pressure
Culture repair + vision remapping
Cross-functional collaboration clarity
Energy management and presence in high-stakes rooms
BECAUSE:
“Most leadership trainings teach people what to say. This one changes what they see.”
Select this when:
Your team is smart, capable, and successful—but something’s off. You’re sensing trust gaps, communication breakdowns, or leadership drift… and it’s too important to fix with surface-level solutions.
ideal for:
Executive teams, founder-led organizations, cross-functional groups, and companies in a high-stakes season of change, reinvention, or recalibration.
