Signature Speaking Topics
Avni’s keynotes aren’t just informative – they’re immersive. Here are some of her most requested topics, each available as a keynote (40 – 90 minutes), fireside conversation, or interactive workshop (0.5 – 2 days).
Lead with Presence: The Hidden Power Behind High-Performance Leadership
When leaders embody presence, they inspire trust, unlock clarity, and create cultures where people thrive.
VIEW MORELESS
In a world that rewards speed, it’s easy to overlook the power of slowing down and truly showing up. This keynote invites leaders to explore presence as a leadership superpower—one that transforms how they listen, communicate, and make decisions. Through moving stories and practical insights, Avni explores how inner stillness leads to outer effectiveness. Participants walk away with practical tools to regulate emotions, navigate difficult conversations, and build authentic influence—even in chaos.
Build Trust & Communicate Authentically with Difficult Stakeholders
How we see others shapes how we speak – and how we lead.
VIEW MORELESS
Whether it’s a senior executive, a skeptical client, or a cross-functional peer, challenging stakeholders can either drain energy or drive growth—depending on how we engage. This workshop blends psychology, coaching, and real-world communication tools to help leaders navigate high-stakes relationships with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Avni guides participants to decode behavior patterns (theirs and others’), shift from defensiveness to dialogue, and build bridges that last.
