Claire Von Cleveland (nee Rogers)

Why Choose Claire Claire does not deliver generic motivation, recycled leadership language, or performative vulnerability. Her work gives audiences something increasingly rare: a clear framework for understanding the psychological and cultural forces shaping modern life. Drawing from lived proximity to incarceration, trauma, public shame, institutional exclusion, viral media culture, and redemption narratives in practice, Claire speaks about systems most people discuss abstractly — but few have experienced from the inside. What makes her work distinctive is her ability to connect deeply human experiences to larger cultural and institutional patterns. Audiences leave understanding: * how shame functions as social control * why outrage and certainty spread faster than nuance * how media systems distort perception and emotional reality * why institutions often prioritize optics over humanity * how trauma becomes commodified in attention economies * what prolonged exposure to reactive systems does to trust, belonging, and psychological life Claire’s talks are intellectually sharp, emotionally grounded, and culturally relevant without becoming ideological, sensationalist, or self-congratulatory. She does not flatten complexity into slogans or easy answers. Instead, she helps audiences think more clearly about the systems shaping behavior, conflict, identity, perception, and human connection in contemporary life. For organizations navigating polarization, burnout, culture fatigue, trust erosion, media saturation, leadership challenges, or questions of integrity and belonging, Claire offers a perspective that is both deeply human and unusually precise. Her sessions create recognition, reflection, and meaningful conversation long after the event ends.
