Remembering who you are when the plan falls apart
Through the lens of her signature concept, Blind Courage, Cari reveals how to lead with clarity, even when the outcome is uncertain. She unpacks the ways high performers unconsciously armor up with overachievement, perfectionism, and pressure—and shows what happens when you finally put it down.
It begins in the spaces we’re most afraid to enter.
In this dynamic keynote, Cari Kenzie invites leaders and teams into a new relationship with vulnerability—not as weakness, but as the birthplace of creativity, connection, and culture-shifting ideas. Through powerful storytelling, scientific research, and her signature three-step process, Cari shows how empathy, compassion, and authenticity create the psychological safety teams need to thrive.
A proven roadmap to realign, refocus, and rise
In this high-impact keynote, Cari Kenzie introduces The PACCT™ Framework—a five-part model designed to help leaders and high performers transform internal chaos into clear, confident direction. Through Presence, Awareness, Curiosity, Clarity, and Transformation, participants learn to navigate complexity with emotional intelligence, intuitive precision, and bold decisiveness.
Clarity, edge, and leadership call-up today’s moment demands
In this provocative keynote, leadership disruptor Cari Kenzie reveals why even the most well-meaning leaders are unintentionally reinforcing the very dysfunctions they’re trying to solve—burnout, disengagement, misalignment, low ownership, and high turnover. Rooted in The Modern Culture™ framework, Cari introduces a new leadership paradigm—where leaders cultivate autonomy, accountability, and authenticity by learning to lead themselves first.
