Signature Keynote

Becoming a Mama Bear Leader

A 2025 global survey revealed that only 31% of U.S. employees feel engaged—the lowest rate in ten years. Meanwhile, leadership engagement fell from 30% in 2024 to just 27% in 2025.

The world is changing and Corporate America - and its leaders - need to keep up. 

When leaders take a new, more engaged approach, magic happens. Companies with engaged teams outperform competitors by up to 202%, experience 22% higher profitability, and see as much as 17% gains in productivity. Even better, your leaders feel more confident, and employees happier and more driven to succeed. 

This keynote explores seven core competencies of human-centered leadership through the Mama Bear Leader™ framework—developed by Kristin Haluch, a veteran leader with over 20 years of experience across Fortune 500 companies and startups.

your Audience will gain: 

- A stronger understanding where old leadership advice and adages fails in modern business, and what needs to change

- Practical tools to immediately build deeper trust with their teams

- A proven communication model to increase employee engagement

- Strategies to navigate unexpected challenges while reducing burnout and decision fatigue
