Each and every one of us came to this world with an extraordinary form of brilliance just waiting to be expressed. We all have gifts, and work becomes a place of boundless possibility when we stack those gifts to create an expression that is entirely unique to us. In this conversation, Amina shares her personal story of how combining her background in business with her training in mindfulness and nutrition catapulted her career to the next level. Learn how to discover your gifts and connect them in a way that allows you to work from a place of you fullest expression and make the greatest impact.

For the first time, the World Health Organization (WHO) now recognizes burnout as a real workplace phenomenon. Learn about the biology of burnout, how it manifests, and how to reprioritize your work so that you can also honor your well-being. In this talk, Amina takes audiences through her four-part approach to acknowledging, understanding and shifting burnout. In this conversation, we’ll address the passion tax, which is the idea that people are more likely to ask you to do extra, unpaid work when you love what you do. Amina shares how the passion tax is directly correlated to burnout due to the additional invisible labor. Learn how to honor your passions and set boundaries so that you can stay in this work for a lifetime, not just a season.

We are now in the midst of a significant workplace revolution, and I believe it’s because most of what we have been taught about success and ambition is a lie. Most of us design our careers based on the imprints of our families, communities, and the world around us. Therefore, our relationship to success and ambition is rarely our own. We spend a lifetime living into the “shoulds” and “musts” of our careers only to arrive near the top of our mountain and realize there is no joy or freedom there because it wasn’t our dream or conscious desire to start with. It happens because very few of us are actually taught to (or have the permission to) honor ourselves, our gifts, and the people around us. From my perspective, most of what we have been taught about success and ambition is misaligned and doesn’t deliver on supporting those of marginalized identities. Due to the inequities highlighted by the global pandemic (the pay gap, motherhood penalty, lack of affordable childcare, and lack of national paid leave), more than two million women have been pushed out of the workforce since 2020. Women of color and those with disabilities have been the slowest to recover. It can feel like we’re taking a step backward, but I believe we are in a moment of realignment around how to connect to our purpose and how we choose to live and lead. In this talk, I will take audience members through my five-part framework to reconcile our relationship to success and ambition, to release the trap and the hustle, and design work from a place of complete alignment.

Today’s leaders must navigate an evolving workplace where diverse perspectives, psychological safety, and inclusive leadership drive success. This talk unpacks how identity and ambition intersect in leadership and provides practical tools for fostering a culture that unlocks the full potential of every team member.

Employee disengagement and high turnover aren’t just HR problems—they’re leadership problems. In this keynote, we’ll explore the real reasons employees disengage and leave (hint: it’s not just about money) and what leaders can do to foster a workplace where people feel valued, motivated, and committed. Attendees will walk away with actionable strategies to build trust, create a culture of purpose and belonging, and develop leadership habits that drive engagement and retention—without burnout.

Peak performance isn’t just about strategy—it’s about how we think, feel, and lead. This keynote examines how power skills (formally known as soft skills) and nervous system mastery can elevate leadership effectiveness and create a more engaged, high-performing workforce. We will highlight practical tools to stay grounded, make better decisions, and lead with clarity under pressure. Your success isn’t just about making decisions—it’s about how you show up in the room.
