Jim Koetting Speaking Topics

  • The Leadership Crisis No One Talks About: Addiction, Distraction, and the Death of Trust

    In today’s high-performance workplaces, teams are distracted, disengaged, and often quietly battling hidden addictions—from dopamine-driven screen habits to alcohol, edibles, and overwork. This talk exposes the leadership crisis no one is addressing: how distraction and numbing behaviors are eroding trust, killing culture, and sabotaging execution. Drawing from 35 years of sobriety, decades of mentoring leaders, and hard-earned business lessons, Jim Koetting offers a new model for leadership—one rooted in self-awareness, emotional maturity, and measurable transformation.

  • From Burnout to Buy-In: How Real Leaders Inspire Change, Not Compliance

    Most leadership strategies today unintentionally create compliance rather than commitment. Burnout is skyrocketing, disengagement is growing, and traditional “top-down” tactics are failing. In this transformative keynote, Jim Koetting unpacks why even the best-intentioned leaders often lose their teams and offers practical solutions to address this issue. Drawing from decades of experience leading teams through crisis and rebuilding cultures from the ground up, Jim introduces a simple yet powerful framework for reigniting engagement. He’ll show you how to replace burnout with buy-in, rebuild trust without micromanagement, and lead with a balance of challenge and support that drives real behavior change.
