KATTY KAY KEYNOTE TOPICS
America From a Different Angle
Since emerging from the COVID pandemic, America is grappling with unprecedented cultural, economic, political, social, technological, and workplace change. Global events such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and Russia’s close ties with China further complicate the political and economic picture for the U.S. Katty gives audiences the latest news from Washington unpacking politics and policies and their impact.
.
A Global Update
The pandemic is proof that the world can change in an instant. It decimated economies, increased nationalism, and raised internal tensions in most developed countries. Leaders were under the spotlight, and politicians used the crisis to seizure control. Katty has reported on the drivers of political change for over 30 years, and she brings her global perspective to audiences, unpacking insights to help them understand more clearly the forces at play around the world.

The Power Code – More Joy, Less Ego. Maximum Impact For Women (and Everyone)
New research shows that women don’t want power; the cost of getting it is too high and it appears unappealing. But companies do better with women in leadership roles, countries do better with women in political office; so what will it take for women to take the reins? Katty suggests we need to change the meaning of power and the routes to lead to it, helping women to focus on using power to make positive changes.
.
The Confidence Code
With confidence we can take on the world; without it, we don’t ask for raises, take risks, or ask for that important meeting. Research shows that confidence is even more critical than competence, but what is confidence, and where does it come from? And why do women have less of it than their talents deserve? Katty can tailor this talk to women or girls and is based on her bestselling books on the subject, inspiring audiences with the latest research and anecdotes form her own career.
