Speaking
Healing leadership. Transforming culture.
The people most committed to excellence and service — the ones who care deeply, hold high standards, and want to make a difference — are often the ones most at risk.
They struggle with exhaustion, self-doubt and perfectionism, or carrying too much responsibility.
The cost to organizations is real: burnout, disengagement, and lost leadership potential.
Jacqueline Y. Chu delivers a keynote that reframes leadership as a healing journey. She shows how addressing these inner obstacles unlocks confidence, resilience, and authentic presence — creating leaders who can rise and thrive.
Signature Keynote
Healing Is Leadership:
From “Not Enough” and “Too Much” to Power and Impact
This keynote helps people:
Recognize how inner wounds sabotage presence, confidence, and resilience in leadership.
Understand how trauma affects the nervous system and why healing, not mindset work, creates lasting change.
Reclaim empathy and sensitivity as essential traits of leadership to powerfully shape a more compassionate future.
The result: audiences leave with clarity, renewed energy, and practical insights to lead with authenticity and impact.
Organizations gain stronger engagement, higher retention, and a culture where leaders show up powerfully and make an impact with resilience, authenticity, and compassion.
