Kim Meninger helps leaders bridge the gap between the leader they want to be and the one who shows up under pressure.
You want a speaker who leaves your audience feeling seen, inspired and ready to take meaningful action.
I’ve had the privilege of speaking to some of the world’s most innovative companies, sharing stories and strategies rooted in my LEADS framework. It’s a practical approach to managing the everyday triggers that keep us from showing up as our best selves.
This isn’t a lecture. You won’t find data dumps or academic slides here. What you can expect are real stories, relatable insights and simple, actionable tools people can immediately use to lead with greater intentionality, strengthen team dynamics and navigate pressure with more confidence and clarity.

Keynote Topic 1: Master the Moment
Keynote Description:
In today’s climate of relentless change, rising complexity and increasing pressure, even the most experienced leaders can struggle to show up as the leader they aspire to be. Under stress, we default to reactive patterns, including overthinking, over-functioning or overcompensating. These instinctive reactions quietly erode trust, undermine innovation and weaken the bottom line.
The real opportunity for leaders isn’t learning how to manage the onslaught of external forces driving pressure, which will only continue to accelerate and evolve over time. It’s learning to manage yourself in the face of that pressure. What leaders need are strategies to close the gap between their aspirational leadership selves and the version of themselves that shows up under stress.
In this timely and practical keynote, leadership coach and former high-tech leader Kim Meninger introduces the LEADS framework—a science-backed, actionable system to help leaders quickly shift from reaction to intentionality under pressure. Through compelling stories and real-world strategies, Kim empowers leaders to step more consistently and seamlessly into their aspirational selves, especially in the moments that matter most.
