SPEAKING

Amy frequently speaks at conferences and within organizations on a number of topics around career development, leadership, unexpected pivots, working motherhood, and more. One of her most commonly booked keynotes/trainings is around "Leading Through Tumultuous Times.”

Leading Through Tumultuous Times

Setbacks are an unavoidable aspect of any career journey, from C-suite executives to those just starting out, to teams navigating staffing changes after layoffs or restructuring. But once we understand how to collectively work through the cycle, we'll have the tools to foster growth not only for ourselves but for our organizations, teams, and communities.

Amy Shoenthal, author of The Setback Cycle, has been studying how leaders work through setbacks for the past few years. In this talk, she'll offer a sneak peek at some of her research around the neuroscience of setbacks, helping us understand why this phenomenon happens, offering tips and tools to work through the phases of The Setback Cycle. She’ll address why rough periods can lead to innovation, show you how to identify your superpowers, and guide you through exploring your Curiosity with a capital C. Your team will walk away with a framework to guide decision-making, set boundaries, prioritize your areas of focus and get clarity on your next move.
