LEADING WITHOUT THE MASK: COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP IN COMPLEX TIMES

Lead with authenticity. Influence with integrity. Thrive with courage.

In today’s fast-paced, high-stakes world, many leaders feel pressure to project confidence at all costs—even when they’re running on empty. In this powerful and timely keynote, Carol Enneking challenges the myth that strong leadership requires hiding your humanity.

She invites leaders to step into a new kind of power—one rooted in self-awareness, conviction, and vulnerability.

This keynote empowers audiences to:

Understand how authenticity elevates trust, engagement, and long-term influence
Recognize signs of leadership fatigue, emotional suppression, and self-silencing
Build deep trust with teams—without sacrificing strength or authority

Ideal for leadership teams, high-potential programs, ERGs, and organizations seeking culture transformation, Leading Without the Mask sparks honest conversation and equips leaders to show up with greater presence, confidence, and impact.

REAL PRESENCE: INFLUENCE FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Executive presence isn’t about ego—it’s about alignment.

In high-stakes environments, presence is often mistaken for charisma or control. But true executive presence comes from something deeper: self-awareness, clarity, and the ability to lead from your values—not your volume.

In this keynote, Carol Enneking redefines presence for modern leaders. Drawing from decades in corporate leadership and talent development, she offers a grounded, practical framework for showing up with confidence, without posturing or performance.

This session helps rising and senior leaders:

• Develop a clear, compelling leadership narrative that connects across all levels

• Command a room with calm, grounded authority—not dominance or ego

• Refine communication for moments that matter: boardrooms, presentations, critical conversations

Whether you’re mentoring others or stepping into greater visibility yourself, this keynote equips you to influence with authenticity—and lead with presence that lasts.
