Got you. For SpeakerHub’s “Why pick me?” section, you need to answer the planner’s only question: “Will my audience thank me for booking her?” Here’s copy you can paste in that’s built to convert browsers into bookers. It’s written for your dual audience — parents and corporate — which is your edge. Why Book Anne Pokrifka Because the same 10 principles that raise grounded kids build high-performing teams. Most leadership talks feel like a lecture. Mine feels like permission to be human and still lead well. I’m Anne Pokrifka, author of Growing Tomorrow’s Leaders and founder of Grounded Leadership Group. I teach parents and executives how to stop confusing control with influence, and start cultivating people who actually want to follow them. Here’s what makes your event different when I’m on stage: 1. I bridge two audiences no one else does Parents’ groups, PTAs, and MOPS events need more than “be patient.” They need a framework. Corporate teams and HR retreats are tired of theory. They need something they can use at 9am Monday and at the dinner table. My keynote does both, because the skills are the same: The Gardener’s Mindset. Practice Makes Progress. Compassionate Assertiveness. Your audience leaves with one set of tools for work and home. 2. I don’t teach from perfection. I teach from the messy middle I’m a mom of two who’s written a book on leadership and still has days where bedtime can’t come fast enough. Audiences trust me because I model what I teach: “Imperfect presence matters more than perfect performance.” When a leader admits they’re learning too, their team exhales. That’s when real growth starts. 3. Your audience gets stories they’ll repeat + tools they’ll use No fluff. Every keynote includes: The 3 questions grounded leaders ask before giving feedback Why “wobbles are data” and how to use mistakes as your best curriculum How to set boundaries without building walls — at work and at home Attendees walk out with phrases they can use that night with their kids and in their next 1:1. Planners love me because people post about it after. 4. I make your job easy You get more than a talk. You get a done-for-you experience: speaker reel, one-sheet, intro, and 5 audience photos for your recap email. Want books? I offer “keynote + book” bundles so every attendee leaves with the framework. Many planners use the book as a follow-up study for their teams. Bottom line: If you want a speaker who makes leaders feel capable, not called out… who gives parents hope and executives a playbook… and who leaves your audience saying “that’s exactly what we needed” — I’m your speaker. Perfect for: Parenting conferences, MOPS groups, PTAs, leadership retreats, HR events, women in leadership ERGs, and education admin training. Let’s raise grounded leaders together — one small moment at a time.
