Dynamic Leadership Keynotes & Workshops with Christy Uffelman
Most keynotes are one-way talks. Christy Uffelman does it differently.
As a nationally recognized leadership keynote speaker, TEDx presenter, and one of the inaugural 50 coaches personally selected and mentored by Brené Brown, Christy brings the power of PEER Technology® into every room—whether it is a conference of 2,000 or an intimate leadership retreat.
Her sessions are dynamic, experiential, and interactive. Audiences don’t just listen; they reflect, connect, and practice together as peers. Christy creates a space where people feel safe enough to lean into vulnerability, share real stories, and build authentic relationships. They leave with practical tools, renewed self-trust, and multiple accountability partners to help them apply what they’ve learned and create lasting change in their lives and work.
What Makes Christy Uffelman Different as a Keynote Speaker
Interactive, Not Passive

Co-Created, Not Canned
Before each event, participants share the challenges they’re facing via a 1-question survey. Christy curates stories, tools, and activities that speak directly to those needs, making every keynote personal and relevant.
Grounded in Practice
Christy blends more than a decade of leadership and life development in Fortune 500 companies with the Wayfinding Compass and PEER Technology® framework.
Human and Relatable
With humor, candor, and vulnerability, Christy shares her own stories of reinvention, creating instant trust and connection.
Customizable for Impact
Every keynote and workshop is tailored to your event and can be delivered virtually, hybrid or in person.

Speaking That Meets You Where You Are
No two audiences are the same, and neither are her keynotes. Each talk is custom-built for your culture, your challenges, and the fears and transitions your people are navigating right now.
Recent client favorites include:
Onward: Bold Moves and New Beginnings — helping teams find courage and clarity in uncertainty.
Where Are You Feeling Stuck? — unlocking energy, self-trust, and momentum by understanding the fears that keep people small and stuck.
The Wayfinding Compass — aligning values, purpose, and action during moments of doubt and change.
These sessions feel like therapy meets strategy: real, reflective, and grounded in the truth that fear is universal. Most of us were never taught how to navigate fear productively or build the self-trust needed to act while we’re afraid.
Participants learn to recognize fear without being ruled by it and to move forward with courage, clarity, and grounded confidence — because we can be both brave and afraid at the same time.
Every keynote is co-created with you to help your people face what’s real and move forward together.
