Pierre Quinn Speaking Topics

  • Self-Leadership, Emotional Intelligence & Leadership Resilience

    Leading From the Inside Out: The STEWARD Model for Self-Leadership

    Leadership starts on the inside before it shows up on the outside. Most leaders know what they should be doing. Fewer have looked honestly at what is driving them: the fears they are running from, the old identities they are still carrying, the habits they tend and the ones they neglect. In this reflective and practical keynote, Pierre Quinn introduces STEWARD, a seven-part self-leadership model that helps leaders audit how well they are tending the inner life that shapes every decision, conversation, and culture they influence. Participants score themselves in real time and leave with one clear focus for growth.

    Attendee Results: Assess their self-leadership using the STEWARD self-audit. Name the fears and avoidance patterns quietly shaping their leadership. Let go of who they thought they would be and lead from who they are now. Connect inner clarity to better decisions, steadier presence, and healthier teams.

  • Executive Self-Talk, Emotional Intelligence & Leading Under Pressure

    We Need to Talk: Leading the Team Inside Your Head

    Every leader manages two teams: the one on the org chart and the one inside their head. The inner team has a manager who keeps everything under control, an exile carrying old fears, and a hero who rushes in to save the day. When those voices run the meeting, leaders react instead of lead. Drawing on research on executive self-talk, Pierre Quinn helps audiences recognize the voices driving their behavior under pressure and learn how to lead them with intention. The session closes with a powerful moment of reflection participants will not forget.

    Attendee Results:

    Recognize the inner voices that shape their reactions under pressure. Understand how self-talk affects decisions, communication, and trust. Interrupt patterns of over control, avoidance, and rescuing. Practice leading their inner dialogue with clarity and compassion. Bring a steadier, more intentional presence back to their teams.
