KEYNOTES AND LEADERSHIP SESSIONS
From the United Nations
to Notre Dame
to the Naval Academy
to the boardrooms
of the world’s leading organizations.
Lisa Petrilli delivers the talk your leaders didn’t know they needed, and changes
how they lead long after they leave the room.
Stages and boardrooms include
The problem she names that no one else will
You’ve invested in leadership development: the assessments, the frameworks, the mindset coaches. Your leaders are better for it.
Here is what Lisa will tell your organization plainly. All of that development exists at the level of personality. And the world you’re leading through right now, the AI disruption, the geopolitical uncertainty, the workforce upheaval, doesn’t yield to personality-level solutions.
Your leaders don’t need another framework. They need something deeper.
The skill AI cannot touch
Every leader in the room has been rewarded for hard skills: strategy,
analysis, execution. Those are exactly the skills AI now performs faster,
cheaper, and at greater scale. What remains, and will only grow more
valuable, is the capacity no model can generate: the presence,
discernment, and grounded confidence of a leader who knows exactly
who they are.
This is not a soft skill.
It is about to become
the hardest, rarest
competitive
advantage any
leader can carry
into the next
decade.

Beyond the Crest
Why so many successful leaders feel something is missing, and what it takes to reach the summit.

The Other Half of Your Power
For accomplished women leaders who succeeded with half of their power, and are ready to lead with all of it.
- Why so many women built their success using only half their power: the half that environments not built with them in mind rewarded
- What the other half is, and why it has been there all along
- What changes in influence, decisions and negotiation when women lead with both
Pairs with the eight-week True Selfâ„¢ Power Program for organizations ready to invest in their high-potential women leaders.

The operator on the stage
Lisa Petrilli led a $750 million Fortune 500 healthcare business and founded the healthcare industry’s first corporate-owned executive leadership institute. She has spoken at the United Nations in Geneva, delivered a keynote at the University of Notre Dame, and spoken at the U.S. Naval Academy and to C-suite leaders across global organizations, and was named to Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers.
Fifteen years of rigorous inner work gave her something rare: the ability to walk into any room, boardroom or stage, and shift what’s possible in it.
Thank you for joining Commander Herdegen and the Midshipmen for your leadership presentation. Your professional observations and personal experiences served as an invaluable example to the Midshipmen. In particular, your insight on the relationship between personality and leadership provided the Midshipmen with concrete techniques they can use as they consider their personal development. Commander Herdegen noted the discussion among his students carried over into the next class session and resonated with the Midshipmen as genuine and meaningful lessons of experience.
Please accept our appreciation for your outstanding presentation. We are grateful for your contribution to our leadership education program.

The world doesn’t need more
leadership frameworks.
It needs your leaders, fully expressed.
If you’ve sensed your leaders are capable of more, something no program has yet unlocked, this is the conversation to have.
