Speaking pathway
Keynotes, panels, workshops, and conversations that carry The Cordless Leadership Model into rooms where leaders need clarity, courage, and movement.
Clara brings honest, grounded insight from lived executive responsibility, practical frameworks, and questions audiences can keep working with after the room changes.
What to expect: clarity, warmth, directness, lived experience, and practical takeaways that audiences can apply immediately.
Speaking sits closest to The Model because the work carries the same five capacities into live leadership rooms.
Speaking formats
The pathway gives leaders a shared language for the room: see clearly, hold conviction, stay grounded, build trust, and move.
Speaking brings the model into rooms where leaders need more than inspiration: they need clear language for the decision in front of them.
Signature topics
These topics are starting points, shaped for leadership rooms where clarity, conviction, groundedness, connection, and movement matter.
Programme topics
What happens when you step into a role, an industry, or a season you are not prepared for - and discover that not knowing forces you to lead better? This keynote introduces The Cordless Leadership Model and the five capacities that determine how leaders navigate crossroads.
Fearless, tenacious, grounded, and thick-skinned, this talk explores what it means to lead with honey badger energy: showing up fully, holding your ground, and acting with conviction when the room wants you to play it safe.
The hardest leadership decision is not what to do when things go wrong. It is knowing when to leave when things are going right. This talk explores the discipline of departure, reframing leaving as an act of leadership, not abandonment.
Too many boards meet without governing. This session explores what effective governance actually looks like - beyond compliance, beyond ceremony, and into the territory of institutional impact.
Named after the final chapter of Clara's memoir, this reflective talk explores what leadership looks like from the balcony: the patterns you only see with distance, the habits that endure when everything else changes, and what comes after you have achieved what you set out to achieve.
Speaking style
Clara's talks draw on lived experience rather than imported frameworks: real stories from real boardrooms, real transitions, and real crossroads, with practical takeaways audiences can apply immediately.
What the room receives
Speaking proof
The speaking pathway is grounded in Clara's executive leadership, board service, authorship, and academic training.
