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.

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.

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.

Coach-Like Leadership: Build Trust, Empower Growth, Drive Results

Coach-like leadership isn’t a skillset – it’s a mindset that transforms teams from the inside out.
What if your leaders could coach instead of command? The future of leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about unlocking the potential in others. Avni unpacks what it truly means to lead with a coach’s mindset—balancing empathy with accountability, inquiry with action. The session will equip leaders with transformative frameworks and practical tools to shift from problem-solving to empowerment. Ideal for organizations committed to building a coaching culture or developing future-ready leaders.

Peace in the Fast Lane: The New KPI for Sustainable Success

Because the most overlooked driver of performance isn’t speed – it’s inner peace.
Drawing from her own extraordinary journey and work with global leaders, Avni shows how peace is not just a personal pursuit, but a professional advantage. In this keynote, she shares how cultivating inner calm equips leaders to respond—not react—in high-stakes situations, leading to better decisions, stronger teams, and greater resilience. A powerful session for organizations committed to performance without burnout, and productivity with humanity.

The Inner Game of Change: Why Habits Fail - and What Actually Works

True change isn’t about doing more – it’s about understanding why we do what we do.
Most change initiatives fail because they focus solely on actions, neglecting the internal systems that drive behavior. In this keynote, Avni delves into her HAPPY™ Parts Coaching approach, guiding leaders to transform deep-seated patterns with clarity and compassion—uncovering the roots of self-sabotage and developing sustainable change internally. Whether you’re driving culture change, personal growth, or leadership transformation, this session gives participants a profound new lens on behavior, resistance, and real progress.

Avni frequently co-creates custom sessions tailored to your audience, theme, industry and strategic goals.
