KEYNOTE DESCRIPTION

Rethinking Resilience: Fueling Your Life & Leadership

We’ve been sold a definition of resilience. Bounce back. Tough it out. Power through. But what if that mindset is what’s holding us back – from clarity, confidence, and energy?

In this high-impact, story-driven keynote, tech founder and leadership expert Tissa Richards dismantles the outdated model of resilience and introduces a radically different approach: intentional resilience. With humor, honesty, and unforgettable personal stories, Tissa shows you how to tap into your most powerful competitive advantage, so you can thrive through disruption and make decisions with confidence and clarity.

You’ll walk away with a powerful, actionable framework (Reflect - Repeat - Replace) to build the habits of intentional resilience and learn how to apply them immediately in both your life and your leadership. Whatever you’re navigating, you’ll leave anchored, energized, and equipped.

This isn’t a pep talk. It’s a playbook. Are you ready to rethink resilience – and fuel what’s next?

“The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Tissa was the keynote speaker at our NYSE board diversity event, and the feedback from our attendees was overwhelmingly positive. She provided a relevant, engaging and actionable keynote that helped change how our board diversity candidates talk about themselves and their careers. I highly recommend her for your event. We look forward to having her back"

The Experience

The live, in-person keynote session will last approximately 45 minutes, followed by an interactive Q&A or fireside chat (as determined). The topic is Rethinking Resilience: Fueling Your Life and Leadership. It’s designed to set the tone for your event and create a grounded, high-energy environment for real learning and growth.

A group of women gathered indoors at an event, holding up copies of a book titled 'Rethinking Resilience,' smiling, and making peace signs, with a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

What it’s like to work with Tissa Richards

Partnering with me includes a lot more than a one-hour keynote. I work with your team before, during, and after the event to make sure the experience lands well and supports your goals.

Whenever possible, I will:

  • Meet with your team in advance to align on goals and tailor the session

  • Record a custom promo video to help build excitement

  • Share or post about the event on my social channels and tag your organization to help build visibility and momentum

  • Attend the full event (not just my slot) to engage with attendees

  • Join panel discussions, Q&A sessions, or a VIP reception

  • Sign copies of my book (three cases included)

Arrive a day early so I’m rested, present, and fully ready to deliver
