Activate the Remarkable: Harness Optimism to Build a Culture of Engagement, Innovation and Success
With the non-stop pace of change, divisiveness, and feeling a lack of control, people have slipped into a place of hopeless passivity where just getting by has become good enough. This mindset stifles innovation, forward-thinking, purpose, and decision-making. That in turn leads to disengagement in the workplace and disconnection from one’s full potential. No wonder Gallup’s 2024 State of the Global Workplace Report found that 62% of employees are not engaged and well-being has declined worldwide! However, you can combat this problem by instilling optimism into your work culture and into your life. Researchers have found that leading with optimism increases employee connection by 20%, decreases stress at work by 30%, and increases achievement and profits.
In this keynote, Shira Miller shares her powerful framework for activating the remarkable in people, teams and organizations by shifting from hopeless passivity to built-in optimism and possibility. Leaders will learn how to instill optimism, hope, connection, and purpose into their organizational culture, leading to greater business success and a stronger alignment between employee engagement and organizational goals.
Participants will learn:
• Benefits of activating the remarkable in your culture
• How to cultivate optimism while avoiding pitfalls such as toxic positivity
• Tips for becoming a recognition-first leader
• Advice for infusing optimism into your culture, even during difficult times

Have you ever wondered why some of the most accomplished women you’ve ever met – and that probably includes yourself -- often self-sabotage? About 70% of us have felt imposter syndrome at some point in our lives, and research has found that women are especially prone to this kind of self-doubt. A study by the International Journal of Behavioral Science found that women, especially in male-dominated fields, often feel like they don't belong or aren't capable, despite evidence of their excellence and competence. Self-defeating beliefs, striving for perfectionism to the point of burnout, and/or a propensity to apologize when you haven’t done anything wrong, have kept many women from unlocking their remarkable potential. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this keynote, Shira Miller applies her powerful framework for shifting from apology to authority to help you conquer self-doubt, eliminate self-sabotage and own your greatness. Audience members will leave equipped with the practical tools needed to activate their full potential with their teams, organizations, clients, family and personal relationships, and the world at large.
Participants will learn:
• Why self-doubt has you stuck, and what to do about it
• Tips for stopping self-sabotage in its tracks
• How to remove obstacles and limiting beliefs
• 4 ways to break the cycle of unnecessary apology-speak
• An exercise to build instant confidence
• How to prioritize self-care and wellnessActivate Your Remarkable: Get Unstuck, Build Self-Trust and Transform Your Life
