Signature Talks
From leadership development and workplace culture to identity and self-compassion, Yon speaks to the patterns shaping how people lead and work together. Here are a few of the topics she's presented in front of thousands.
Self-compassion in leadership
How reframing self-criticism unlocks better decision-making, stronger presence, and more resilient teams.
Best for: leadership workshops and conferences, women's leadership events, HR and L&D audiences.
The Me Within the We
How individual identity holds up inside teams and organizations, without leaders losing themselves or the bigger picture.
Best for: DEI and ERG events, cross-functional leadership audiences.
Leaning into power and influence
What it takes to gain influence and be seen as senior, beyond doing more or waiting to be noticed.
Best for: mid-to-senior leadership audiences, corporate keynotes.
Picture this: your event attendees are still talking about Yon’s speech during the evening happy hour, not nodding off during the keynote.
Yon understands the fear many event organizers carry: booking a speaker who sounds academic, disconnected, or forgettable the moment the talk ends. Drawing on a doctorate in organizational psychology and real stories from a career spent inside major global companies, her keynotes leave audiences with something they're still thinking about days later. She’s knowledgeable and well-researched, but also warm, funny, and approachable. Frankly, she’s just as averse to a boring slide deck presentation as your attendees would be.
