Engaging groups of people in active discussion about leadership and people gives us energy. Built on backgrounds in theatre, education, psychology, and communications, members of the humanworks8 team have spoken within organizations, large and small, and at various regional, national and global conferences. We’ll engage your audience in interactive virtual or in-person keynotes and workshops, delivering a message that lives far beyond your event, to bring work to life and life to work. All sessions and outlines are customized to fit the unique needs of your team or organization.
