Awkward and Upward!: Your Surprising Secret Weapon for Taking More Professional Risks
Advances in technology have made it easy to avoid real human interaction. While texting, online ordering, and “swiping right” is convenient, we’re losing the skills of relating to others, building trust and connection, and enduring the critical friction and messiness we get from being in proximity to each other. This weakening of our social muscles is slowly destroying our ability to take smart risks at work - like collaborating with colleagues, initiating tough conversations, speaking up, and sharing new ideas.
Risk-taking sounds good in theory, but most of us have a hard time moving from wishful thinking to execution. Why? Because when we have a chance to take a risk in the moment, we feel awkward – and that awkwardness bumps up against our deep desire for others to approve of us and what we do. As it turns out, it’s what we improve in the face of taking risks – often despite others’ judgment – that leads to the greatest growth. After all, the fastest path to major improvement comes from strengthening what’s weak, rather than what’s strong.
Join 2x TEDx Speaker, Executive Coach, and Workplace Performance Expert, Henna Pryor, to learn how embracing the Good Awkward is your secret weapon for skyrocketing teamwork, speaking up boldly, and strengthening your risk-taking muscle.
The Changing Psychology of Influence in the Modern Era: How to Overcome Resistance to Move Your Ideas Forward
In the modern era, the new psychology for creating new actions, influence, inspiration, and navigating through uncertainty has changed. We need to take a new approach to create new actions in our teammates and in ourselves, to persuade prospects, to have difficult conversations, and to maximize opportunities for partnership.
If you've ever found yourself facing resistance to your ideas - you're not alone. Even when we have a great idea that will affect enormous change, we don't always get the reaction – or action – we're hoping for.
That’s because we spend the majority of our energy making our ideas and changes more compelling, more interesting, more attractive -- pouring on the fuel -- that we rarely discover the frictions that are working against us, and all humans have them.
In this interactive session, join 2x TEDx and Global Keynote Speaker, Author, and Workplace Performance Expert, Henna Pryor, to uncover and explore the 4 specific reasons why people resist change, and more importantly, concrete strategies to overcome them so we can move our ideas, initiatives, team members, prospects, and mission forward.
Dominating Disruption and Pushing Limits: Unlocking the Mental and Social Skills of Success in a Fast-Changing World of Work
The old tools of success got us here. They won’t take us where we need to go next.
Today’s top performers are grappling with a hidden paradox: the very excellence that built their reputation is quietly holding them back. In a world flooded with change - new rules, new tech, new expectations - clinging to what we’ve always done well is the fastest way to fall behind.
In this provocative and energizing keynote, Henna Pryor, Workplace Performance Expert and 2x TEDx speaker, flips the script on what modern excellence really looks like. Through a mix of powerful storytelling, behavioral science, and mindset-shifting tools, she shows audiences how to train the mental and social muscles that fuel success in today’s disruptive world. We explore factors like mindset monkey wrenches, strategic discomfort, and the #1 tool everyone needs in a turbulent world: neutral thinking.
With strategies that stick and stories you’ll still be thinking about weeks later, this keynote will help your team build the habits that matter most when everything’s in flux.
The AI-Human Edge: How Strengthening Social Muscles With AI Creates High-Performing Teams
AI isn’t replacing your soft skills - it’s revealing how badly we need them.
In today’s efficiency-obsessed workplace, automation is accelerating, but something else is quietly eroding: our social muscles. We’ve never been connected — or more disconnected. Technology has made it effortless to reach anyone, anywhere, anytime… yet, 44% of workers describe their workplace relationships as “superficial,” and 1 in 3 employees would rather scrub a toilet than ask a colleague for help.
As instant pings replace real conversations, trust, connection, and collaboration are breaking down. The result is teams that are hyper-productive… and mentally and emotionally malnourished.
But what if AI wasn’t the enemy of human connection - but the catalyst for deeper, more deliberate relationships?
In this high-energy, insightful, and first-of-its-kind keynote based on her pioneering national research study, Workplace Performance Expert Henna Pryor, CSP reveals how to flip the script on AI’s role at work - transforming it from a disconnector into a social muscle superbooster. Through relatable stories, surprising research (yes, including toilet scrubbing!), and smart, tactical prompts, Henna shows how leaders and teams can use AI to:
• Rehearse high-stakes conversations and build confidence
• Spot tone misfires before they derail trust
• Personalize outreach without losing authenticity
• Replace artificial intimacy with meaningful connection to stand out in an AI-driven workplaceIn the age of Artificial Intelligence, the real edge belongs to those who lead with both hands - one on the keyboard, one on someone’s shoulder.
If you’re ready to future-proof your team’s ability to perform at the highest level — this is the keynote that will change the way you think about team success forever.
