Thought Leader | Key-Note Speaker | Research Agricultural Economist
Hernando, Mississippi
I am Malorie Ross, a key-note speaker and economist focused on one central idea: meaningful change -- personal or societal -- requires investment. With a background in agricultural economics, policy analysis, and community-based research, my work sits at the intersection of human behavior and economic systems. I've contributed to research shaping conversations around food access, rural development, and policy investment -- with a focus on how policy decisions impact real lives at scale. My personal journey through anxiety, depression, an autoimmune disease, and significant health challenges gives me a grounded understanding of what happens when individuals are under-resourced, and what becomes possible when they are supported. I don't speak about change as an abstract concept. I break down how investing in people -- through health, access, and opportunity -- drives stronger economics, more resilient communities, and long-term societal return. Through a combination of personal narrative and economic insight, I challenge audiences to rethink the way we view support, responsibility and growth: not as opposing forces, but as aligned drivers of sustainable change.

Keynote Speaker | Executive & Leadership Coach | XR Program Designer & Facilitator
Australia
Most organisations don't have a performance problem. They have a self-understanding problem and it shows up most visibly under pressure. Kelly Magowan works at the intersection of behavioural science, immersive experience design and leadership development to help organisations close that gap. Her signature program, The Level Up Program™, combines extended reality (XR) with MBTI personality insight to make invisible team dynamics visible and fast. Teams don't just learn about communication. They experience, in real time, how their assumptions, decision-making and collaboration patterns shift under pressure. With over 20 years across executive coaching, HR and organisational development including roles at Ernst & Young, General Electric, and as an Executive Coach at Melbourne Business School — Kelly brings both strategic depth and practical application. She is the founder of Diversitas Consulting and has worked with organisations including Melbourne University, Coles, Cell Therapies, Austin Health, Planet Innovation, Department of Defence, and Murdoch Children's Research Institute. Her keynotes and workshops are designed not to inspire and leave they are designed to shift behaviour. Audiences leave with shared language, practical tools, and a different understanding of themselves and each other that they can use the next day

Conflict ROI Architect: Navigating Dark Personalities, Intersectionality, and the Future of Human Work
Portland, Oregon
Conflict isn't just a communication breakdown; it’s a neural one. Most leaders treat conflict as an inevitable cost of doing business, but in reality, it’s a massive leak in your productivity. On average, every employee loses 2.8 hours per week navigating workplace friction. For a mid-sized team, that is hundreds of hours of paid time annually drained by everything from everyday misunderstandings and toxic personalities to the complexities of disability accommodations and the stress of adopting new technology. For owners and HR directors, that is a staggering amount of lost capital and human potential. As a 3x TEDx speaker and conflict resolution architect, I show organizations how to reclaim that time. My work is built on a proprietary neural framework: Processing (Neural) + Interpretation (Conflict) + Behavior (Resolution) By training teams to understand that processing is physiological and interpretation is where conflict takes hold, I provide a clear path to behavioral resolution that scales. Beyond standard skills training, I specialize in high-stakes intersections: from disability belonging and trauma-informed leadership to my specialized series on skillful termination and more. Backed by a track record of developing trainings that help businesses reduce costs and improve ROI, including speaking engagements at SHRM and SIOP, I am currently bridging the gap between human psychology and innovation. I am leading a team to develop an AI framework designed to dismantle systems of oppression and boost human effectiveness. My goal is simple: I transform those 2.8 hours of lost time and the stress it brings into skillful interactions that reduce costs, protect your culture, and produce an ROI that makes sense.

AI Transformation & Governance Speaker | Founder - Afrodeities Institute
United Kingdom

(2)
Chinenye Egbuna Ikwuemesi is a business and technology transformation professional with more than 25 years of experience working across data, analytics and enterprise systems in complex organisations. Alongside her work in technology and organisational change, she has spent many years researching African civilisational knowledge systems and the governance principles embedded in them. Her work explores how ideas such as Ma’at, Ifá and Ubuntu can inform modern discussions about leadership, institutional design and ethical decision-making in an AI-driven world. Chinenye is the founder of the Afrodeities Institute, an independent research initiative examining African mythology, history and knowledge systems as forms of civilisational infrastructure. Her speaking and writing connect two fields that are rarely brought together: the realities of modern technological transformation and the long historical traditions that societies have used to organise power, responsibility and collective decision-making. Drawing on both corporate experience and historical research, she explores how institutions can think more deeply about governance, risk and consequence as artificial intelligence becomes embedded in organisational systems. Chinenye speaks on topics including AI governance, organisational transformation, African knowledge systems and the relationship between history, power and modern institutions. She can help CHROs, boards, and transformation leaders encode intelligence before layering AI, using decision systems that were designed to survive disruption, not just manage it.

Based in Dallas, Texas, Irish Burch is the Founder and CEO of Irish Burch Co., a leadership and professional development firm dedicated to strengthening women in leadership and the organizations they serve. Her work focuses on helping professionals recognize career drift, reclaim ownership of their growth, and lead in ways that sustain both people and purpose. Irish is the former President and CEO of an internationally recognized eight-figure nonprofit organization. Over a 30-year career in the child advocacy field, she led complex multidisciplinary teams, stewarded significant public and private funding, strengthened statewide and national partnerships, and navigated the realities of high-stakes governance and community accountability. Her leadership experience was forged at the intersection of mission, influence, and institutional responsibility. That experience led to a moment that reshaped how she understands professional growth. Years ago, Irish accidentally discovered that she was the lowest paid person on her team. After years of working hard, serving the mission, and doing everything she believed was expected, one question echoed in her mind: “How did I get here?” That moment revealed something she now sees across industries — talented, dedicated professionals often place their careers on autopilot and slowly begin drifting without realizing it. Today, Irish helps leaders and organizations recognize and address career drift before it erodes engagement, leadership capacity, and long-term impact. Her work operates at two levels. Through her talk How Did I Get Here?, Irish challenges individuals to recognize when their careers have quietly shifted into autopilot and equips them to take back control of their professional direction. At the organizational level, her signature framework — Protect the Mission. Strengthen the People. Sustain the Work. — helps mission-driven organizations navigate change by investing in the people responsible for carrying the mission forward. Irish understands firsthand the pressures leaders face: financial responsibility, board expectations, staff wellbeing, public scrutiny, and the emotional weight of mission-driven work. Her message is both practical and direct: meaningful work can be demanding, but it should never come at the cost of the people entrusted to lead it. Through powerful storytelling and seasoned leadership insight, Irish equips audiences to strengthen culture, reinforce organizational capacity, and build environments where both the mission and the people behind it can thrive. Irish is a sought-after voice for conferences, leadership summits, women’s leadership events, and organizations navigating change while preparing their people for the future.
