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

Through Leadership Hacks, I deliver keynote talks, coaching, and practical leadership development, including my Four Suits Method for communicating strategy and change.

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.
