FEMALE LEADERSHIP KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Women are uniquely qualified to lead the organizations of tomorrow. Connecting them to inherent power is your imperative.

Female Leadership Keynote Speaker Heather E McGowan helps audiences realize how uniquely qualified women are to lead us all through the global challenges we now face. Women have been out-earning men in university degrees since 1982, collectively resulting in 10 million more degrees earned by women than men. Further, as McGowan has identified in her most recent book, The Empathy Advantage, empathy is a key attribute of successful leadership. A recent study of over 300,000 people from 57 countries found women consistently score higher than men in cognitive empathy: the ability to understand someone else’s emotions and adopt their perspective to appreciate how something made them feel that way.

As a keynote speaker, McGowan identifies and articulates four required shifts (mindset, culture, approach, behavior) for leaders to make to lead the empowered workforce. These shifts are a fundamental rethinking of the leadership profile from a domineering and unquestioned leader to a humble, caring, and empathetic guide—skills more aligned with female leadership. McGowan’s message as a female leadership keynote speaker marks a foundational redefinition of leadership, from one routed in male energy (dominance) to one much more aligned with female instincts (nurturing).

If you seek a keynote speaker that can guide your people to female leadership by helping them identify and connect to their own intrinsic confidence and power, Heather E. McGowan is the leadership keynote speaker for you.
