Keynote Speaker 

Deanna Davies, MBA, CED

Keynote Title: Leading in the In-Between: Where Strategy Meets Change.
In a world of constant disruption, today’s leaders work in the space between certainty and complexity. Deanna’s keynote reframes leadership as more than mere execution. Drawing from decades of project leadership and nervous system science, she introduces Embodied Leadership as a practical infrastructure for clarity and steadiness.
This is not wellness. It is the human layer of strategy.
